Brambles = slasher.
I like to keep as far away from brambles as possible.
Learnt on many voluntary conservation tasks.
A good straight, heavy blade with little hook, and a decent Ash 5ft handle.
They last forever. I can't even remember the last time the group I work with had to replace one.
Bit of a sharpening with a suitable file before each work day,
and the occasional trip to the grinder if someone really stuffs is into the ground or hits a stone.
