Machete is very convenient if you regularly go fishing - it’s the easiest way for them to chop large fish. TRUPER MACH-18 15893. This tool has a long blade that needs to be sharpened periodically. But even if you forgot to do it - the second, “toothy” side will come to the rescue. Machete combines the best side of an ax and a hacksaw. Only the dimensions of the tool can confuse.
