For the undead hordes or the wasteland that is my garden - I hope wielding this will bring me some joy. The Fiskars name gives me faith this will last.
CamelCamelCamel.
Targeted deal - only hoodlum youth gangs eligible
That's Youf good sir… not youth… lol
I identified as hoodlum youth gangs member
Frewer brain cells? Yep, you qualify ;)
LOL noice nicely slide my words
Only guns are a problem in OZ !
What's going on with these kids? Just on Sunday, I saw a young person at Woolworths running off without paying. The security guard chased him all the way.
Location: Melbourne.
All the way home?
No consequences.
Fiskars Machete Saw could be ideal for chopping off thieves' hands.
dunno why, i was chatting with a store manager and a security guard, ironically they are the ones with their hands tied, and cant do much (not even sit on them). I've lived in countries, that sort of stunt would get you lynched by a mob and nobody would care
Use Coupon - Eshay - to take your wallet and phone
Get ready for surprise visits while you are sleeping, especially with the crime in Victoria
Youth gangs say 'thanks'
1/10 of these will get used for actual gardening. The others for crime and doing dumb shit.
I use machetes for my banana plants ,
must have bananas in the back yard .
Easiest plant to grow and give you fresh fruit .
Also quick growing privacy screen and easy to maintain with your gardening knife !
does it attract any pests?
None this machete can't deal with.
No pests , ladyfingers are the most commonly grown in backyards.
Neat and Tidy if you clean up old leaves ect with your machete or knife.
@beach bum: Do you try and keep 4 to 5 leaves onnthe plant with the banana bunch growing already?
We have blue Java aswell but being winter its struggling to survive. 😮💨 fruited just before winter.
@Pandaboss: Once they fruit they're done. Chop down and allow the next biggest 2-3 suckers to take over
@Pandaboss: Trial and error and you’ll figure it out .
They are a tropical fruit so winter does confuse the cycle ,
but try to keep as many healthy leaves on the plant as possible
right up until taking the bunch off .
And one main sucker will do to replace the existing plant .
Which state are you from?
@rsop: There a lot of lead paint they used down there ,
you can just kinda tell .
or?
click on users name to view their profile .
@beach bum: Not going to lie, hoped for something like a magic trick or something. I forgot i have that in there and that is a thing OZB has.
Well Gold Coast makes sense. Aint growing a banana tree down here lol
My elderly neighbour has between 20 to 30 sugar finger banana plants on the go at any time. They attract cockroaches and rats. But the biggest problem is the flying foxes. They crap all over the place. It's gross and can really strip the paint off things. They also get super loud if they are competing with possums for the ripest bunch.
Just saying, if you decide to have banana plants in suburban areas, PLEASE be super considerate of the impact on your neighbours and try to minimise.
@chewbot: You can use a plastic bag to cover the banana bunches (like on commercial farms) as it fills out to ripen and keep bats off .
Any fruiting tree like eg. avocado’s , pecans , plums may attract unwanted interest from animals if not continuously maintained in suburbia.
But there are ways to mitigate unwanted attention from bats , parrots , possums etc including maintaining or removing palm trees (especially CoCos palms) which produce fruit year round that attract unwanted attention from hungry (bats) animals or pests or however you want to understand what’s going on .
I removed mine after a colony of European wasps started to live under my plants. So dangerous. lol
@bchliu: There is a wasp spray that suffocates wasps that you can stand 5-8 metres away and spray them .
Wasps will nest anywhere dry .
@beach bum: More that the Wasp colony was feeding off my banana plant's sap and materials at roots.. We got the pest control to remove it, but he recommended that we don't grow bananas any further in case they come back.
@bchliu: Where’d your pest controller get his information,
The university of ImadeitupallbymyselfU ?
Until you want to get rid of them lol
If you want to remove banana plants you simply cut down then roundup, you may have to repeat a couple of times but it will wipe them out .
@beach bum: Yeah i prefer not to use things that can give you cancer… The last couple of batches i manually removed… Back breaking work
@hippyhippy: Different strokes for different folks, I prefer glyphosate over back breaking work. Wearing respirator and gloves less work.
@OZKap: He said cancer, not a stroke! Not that there's sufficient evidence for glyphosate causing either condition.
Good point. I'll buy 10.
Ever tried to get rid of ivy? I bought a machette 10 years ago and it was the best gardening purchase I've ever made. Goes through the scrubby stuff, the thick branches, and you can even chop through the thicker branches the size of a leg if you don't mind making a bit of a mess.
It's only 18 inches. I think you'll need something a bit heftier and with more weight for the thicker hordes
It's only 18 inches
Heard that before :(
No you haven't Just Terry
Yes I have.
wtf have you never bought someone a laptop and they wanted a larger screen?
It's not about the size it's about how you use it.
That's what she said!
Porch pirates will love this one.
I have this and bought it on Amazon for over $55…. Does the job. I once gave a swing on a small tree shrub, soft wood and was surprised at the depth. Thinking if I should buy and return 😂
Customers who bought this item also bought
3 Holes Black Balaclava Style
Windproof Mask Neck Warmer
Ski Hat Fishing 3 Hole Beanie Face
Mask Ski-Warm Knit-Men…
Don't forget Nike Tech Fleece
What no Men's Air Max Plus Tuned 1 Fabric Trainer Shoes?
A more elegant weapon for a more civilized age
Great ! adding this to my zombie apocalypse emergency box
Battery chainsaw more effective
No. Battery dead Aziz…
Not the Crimson Jihad!
Noisier and heavier
Stealth mode is better
This has a better grip and very well balanced weight ratio for that "swing" Fiskars 29 Inch Machete Axe
costs more than 3 times as much though….
Any Nike TNs to go with this deal?
I look forward to seeing these brandished at the local shopping centre. Thanks op.
Would this make it through customs ok?
I doubt it. Better to smuggle it "internally" just to be sure you get through.
Yep just chuck it down ya trackies. No one will notice
I've never had any issues with knives, but never tried anything this big. Border force says it's okay

Similar things are sold in every hardware store in Australia, I doubt there'd be issues
Not applicable for me sadly. I'm not a Victorian young offender currently out on bail.

Good for anyone running a landscaping business in mount druitt
Quickest and easiest way for youth to own a luxury car!

real masters of the blade know that you don't need a blade
your local Bunnings is your primary weapon shop, it's full of items that can be used as an efficient offensive or defensive equipment, and is legal to carry around in your car or even on your person lol

From the thumbnail I thought it was a some sort of samurai sword.
Perfect for birthday party sword fights for 8 year olds. Bought 10. Thanks OP
was going to purchase however some pretty bad reviews by the looks, dull out of the box on a few reviews and one showing a broken blade
This won’t get past customs since it’s coming from another country.
Yeah, thats what i was thinking.
They will probably come in a pallet with the documentation showing Machete Saw and flagged as dangerous goods.
Saying that, sometimes customs can be lazy and just let things go through.
That's Jeff's problem
Unless I get placed on a list, in which case I guess it'll be my problem.
Why is it not going to get through customs?
It's a product (or of the type) that is available to buy legally in this country.
It's being shipped from Amazon, so hence will be labelled appropriately. What's the problem?
Because it’s a weapon
https://www.abf.gov.au/importing-exporting-and-manufacturing…
Basically if its confiscated, you will get a warning letter and possibly be put on a list so when you try to import a prohibited item again, you will get fined.
It is your responsibility to check if item is prohibited, not amazon
It's not a prohibited item.
Even according to your list it's not a prohibited item.
Again, what's the problem?
Says star knives are though. Do they mean a shuriken? Damnit, there goes my ninja career.
@MonkDog: Its open to interpretation. See bold text.
Personally i wouldnt risk it
What types of knives can't you import into Australia without a permit?
The importation of certain types of knives into Australia is restricted and may require a permit. The specific regulations can vary, but generally, knives that are considered prohibited or restricted include:
Automatic knives (also known as switchblades)
Balisong knives (also known as butterfly knives)
Gravity knives
Push knives
Trench knives
Knives with blades that open automatically by centrifugal force (flick knives)
Knives designed or adapted for use as a weapon, including those with certain blade lengths or features that are deemed dangerous or prohibited
Certain types of multi-tool knives with blades that exceed a specified length or have prohibited features
It's important to note that this list is not exhaustive, and the regulations may vary depending on the state or territory within Australia. Additionally, the importation of knives is governed by the Customs (Prohibited Imports) Regulations 1956, and the Department of Home Affairs is responsible for overseeing import regulations.
If you're considering importing a knife into Australia, especially if it falls into any of the categories mentioned above, it's advisable to check the current regulations and consider obtaining the necessary permits or permissions to ensure compliance with the law. You can also reach out to the Australian Border Force or customs authorities for guidance on specific import requirements.
