Your cart is empty.After almost 100 years of saw design and manufacturing excellence, Silky has added the YOKI ‘chopper’ to its lineup of superior steel blade products. If you are looking for the ultimate tool to attack multiple vegetation types, the YOKI should be at the top of your list. For avid hunters, hikers or those who travel off road, the YOKI is versatile enough to reduce vines, limbs and small logs to a more manageable or productive size. Similar to the a bush axe, the YOKI functions much the same way, but can be used with either one or two hands and is much less bulky to pack with your outdoor gear. Expect the YOKI to be a durable and long lasting tool with a blade you can resharpen and a custom-fitted carrying case with a matching hole-hanger that comes standard.

大きさはまぁ許容範囲。ナタとノコまではいらないような笹薮・灌木の山に入るにはこれ１つの方が楽(軽い)。ただ、ほかのレビューにもあるように、最初自分で研がないと、弾かれるだけで思うように切れないみたいだね。あと、ケース、左右用が選択できるとか、後ろ腰に横止めタイプだとなお良いね。

L?acciaio della giapponese Silky è una garanzia, non sarà come quello delle Katane ma è certamente adatto per fare lavori gravosi in giardino e nella boscaglia bassa.ottimo anche il fodero in cordura ed il sistema di ritenzione.

I wished that this machete was sharper right out of the box.Beautifully constructed with a non-slip, rubberized handle (wear work gloves to avoid blisters).Nicely made sheath.

Light but strong. Easily clears brush with authority. Not terribly sharp out of the box but it was easy to put a razor edge on the blade. Silky is know for their blades and Japanese steel…no exception here.Easy to handle too.

Già provato. Lama notevole ed ergonomia perfetta. Forse un po’ caro; vedremo la durata.

Silky definitely makes a quality tool like SnapOn or Matco. This machete feels good to the hand and is substantial without being cumbersome, however it did NOT come sharp (not horrible, but not sharp). Usually no big deal, however the curve of the blade it will take more time to sharpen. Don't get me wrong, I'd rather have a premium tool and have to sharpen it over a substandard blade that won't hold an edge.

I spend a lot of time cutting back invasive vegetation in the wetlands surrounding our Southwest Florida home. The Brazilian Pepper tree is a non native plant brought into Florida in the mid-1800's for use as an ornamental plant. Their bright red berries and brilliant green foliage are used frequently as Christmas decorations. However this tree is a member of the same family as poison ivy and can cause reactions to those with sensitive skin as well as respiratory problems for some people when the tree is blooming. These trees can grow up to 10 feet per year and their root systems and canopies expand so quickly that they rob the surrounding vegetation of both water and sunlight. They currently dominate about 700,000 acres of land in Florida.They also sprout limbs vertically and horizontally and create a very thick network of branches. I have often used a reciprocating saw (with green wood blade) and my Esee Lite Machete to attack the outside perimeter of these trees. But since the areas closest to the trunks are very tight, I couldn't get a full swing on my machete and had to look for a "chopper", something that this Silky Yoki excels at. I have several Silky saws (including folding saws and a pole saw) that are built better and last longer than just about any other saw that I've tried. So I thought that an investment in this chopper was a pretty safe bet.Machetes are designed for slashing with a full swing. Choppers are, well, made for short and abrupt (primarily) down strokes. Think about a butcher cutting up a side of beef. The weight is concentrated on a shorter blade and of course the blade itself has to be razor sharp. You should be able to achieve the same results with a chopper in a tight space with about the same effort that you'd use with a longer machete in a more open space. And I'm happy to report that the Silky Yoki Chopper performs as well as I expected it to.The grip is very comfortable, the blade holds an edge all day, and the brush hook on the end helps draw vegetation towards you for disposal. It comes with a hole in the blade for hanging and also a carrying case that matches. The blade is easily touched up with a butcher's steel as long as you follow the natural line and don't get too aggressive. Even if you do abuse the blade, replacements are available. This is a good tool to take with you when hiking, hunting, camping, or clearing brush. It would also make a pretty good defensive tool if you find yourself in a bad situation.

Silky saws and their landscaping products are a bit pricey but once you buy one, you'll understand why. They are made of super, high-quality material and designed to provide you the maximum performance without fatigue. The handle is made of soft, grippy rubber that can be removed if one was to replace either the blade or the grips. The sheath is a bit fancy but durable and functional and the blade comes from the factory, razor sharp. This would definitely be the machete of choice for me if I ever go, "Naked & Afraid" in any Panamanian jungle! This may very well be the last machete you'll ever need?

仕事で宅地や宅地跡の空き地を草刈りする際、刈払機に蔓性の植物が絡んだり、篠竹に弾かれたりするのにイライラしたので試しに購入。意図した用途にはかなり便利でした。研げば結構サクサクと薙ぎ払えます。庭木の枝バラシにも使いやすく、作業効率が大幅に上がって大満足。新品状態では刃がやや鈍いのでご注意。鎌研ぎ砥石をかけてやるといい感じです。鞘は決して作りが悪いわけではないですが、出し入れが大変めんどくさくて使いにくい。私用ならともかく仕事で使うにはアウトですね。自作するつもりです。本格的な山林伐採において、鉈や鎌の代用となるか、というと、あまりよろしくないと思います。建築系や農家にはオススメできるかと。ご家庭向けには迫力ありすぎですね。
