When you go out camping you may find yourself handling a number of small chores. Cutting down small limbs for a walking trail, chopping wood into smaller pieces for a fire, or cutting logs for a lean-to are just a few examples of what you may encounter. Each of these chores normally requires a different tool to get the job done. But with a Woodman’s Pal, you can do all of this with one basic tool.


Unique Item with Lots of Uses

The Woodman’s Pal has been described in many ways. Some people refer to it as an all around camping axe. Others call it a versatile brush axe or machete. And some people even call it a big knife. Regardless of how it is viewed or labeled, it is easy to see that it is more than just one tool.


Rich Heritage

The Woodman’s Pal is made in the good ol’ USA. The materials used to make the tool are also 100% authentic USA materials. The process used to produce this great tool comes from over 20 different hand processes. When Woodman’s Pal claims they are hand-made, it is definitely a true statement. Introduced ...
... in the Second World War as standard items for soldiers the tool has found its way into the hands of many weekend campers and serious hikers that enjoy the Appalachian Trail and other similar treks.


Design and Size

The Woodman’s Pal is relatively light and approximately the same length as an adult man’s forearm. This makes the tool a good size for not only chopping but also for pruning and cutting.


The primary item used in the construction of a Woodman’s Pal is carbon manganese steel. The blade portion is then hardened and tempered. This makes the core of the blade strong and durable while at the same time keeping the blade edge more flexible. The flexibility allows the blade to avoid cracks during strong impacts or exposure to freezing temps.


Abilities

As mentioned previously, this tool is quite versatile and can handle a wide number of tasks. When used like a machete the Woodman’s Pal can slice tree limbs as large as 1-1/2” in thickness. The curved shape blade that resembles a sickle can slice through briars and vines and is also handy for cutting little sprouts right at the ground. The Woodman’s Pal has a clear sense of balance that runs through the length of the tool to make it easier to swing, slice and cut.


Guaranteed Workmanship and Personalization

The Woodman’s Pal can also be engraved for people that wish to present the tool as a gift. Whether it is for a birthday, anniversary, Christmas or Father’s Day this little gem is a great item for the outdoor adventurer. The tool also comes with a 100% guarantee. If you are not happy with the product the company will refund your money without question. The company is certain that customers will be happy with their purchase and they have no problem advertising this iron clad guarantee.
