With a 24 inch blade, this machete will have the length you need. And what good is a dull machete so an 8 inch sharpening stone is included. For added strenth, the machete has a full tang, namely the blade is one piece of hardened steel that extends to the tip of the handle. Two halves of a comfortable plastic grip are secured to each side of the proximal blade. The perfect tool for cutting brush, saplings and undergrowth.
