This is an excellent all around brush an nusinance wood tool. It will chop, dig out roots,and effectively trim small to large woody plants with ease and speed. It sharpens easily and remains so for extended periods of hard use. Every home owner deserves to have one in his tool invetory.

First off,for $9.90,I didn't expect much.
And sure enough,"not much" is what I got.
It arrived today,in a package big enough for a deer rifle; the side of the box was bashed in.
The Cane Knife wasn't damaged; just an absolute piece of Chinese crap.
But when I had checked Seymour Manufacturing's website before ordering,it plainly stated this was 'made in the USA.'
Donna in Customer Service @ Seymour said:"No,they've been made in China for quite awhile now....No,we just haven't gotten around to changing our website to reflect that."
Putting aside the fact that this POS is helping support the Chinese Red Army,it's also quite a POS.
Handle fit is abysmal;three rivets,which are off-centered,and the absolute worst job I've ever seen when it comes to grinding a bevel on the blade!
Unfair to call that a bevel;I've seen sharper edges on car bumpers.
I'm disappointed that Amazon is selling this POS,and I'm upset that Seymour did nothing to let people know they are putting their name on this absolute POS!
Two other bummers here: my Dad owned one,20+ years ago,when they were still made by an American outfit up in Indiana...it was a tool!
Wish I could find it.Had 5 rivets in a fitted hickory handle; was easy to get shaving-sharp...even the curlicue 'hook' on top was sharp.
Other bummer is: would cost at least $6-$7 to send it back.
So I'll pitch it in the dumpster.
Buyer Beware!

3.0 out of 5 stars Economical but crude, October 15, 2010

Received this cane cutter and it is not bad for the price. The handle is two slabs of wood riveted to the sides the blade which leaves a space all around the handle. On my cutter the wood handle slabs were not even, one was higher than the other. I had to sand the handle slabs even to get a comfortable grip. There are 3 rivets in the handle not 5 as stated in the description. I ended up filling the space between the handle slabs with wood filler and then sanded and coated with poly varnish. Very comfortable handle now. Looking at other brands they all seem to be the same type of construction perhaps, some are made with more care.
