Kaiser Blade

A kaiser blade (some folks call it a sling blade, but it is also called a ditch bank blade or bush axe) is a heavy, hooked, steel blade at the end of a 40-inch (100 cm) handle that is usually made of hickory. It is used to cut brush, briar, and undergrowth.^[1] The blade is double-edged, and both sides are usually kept sharp.
