The Best Way to Cut Sugar Cane
Hello everyone it's that time of the year where our sugarcane here in South Georgia is starting to
come off. We grow a lot of sugarcane here. People make syrup with it. They grind it and make syrup.
We had a customer last year that asked us about a particular machete
that's made specifically to cut sugarcane and I had never seen it before and we did some sourcing
and we pulled it together and we want to show you today what we got. We're kind of excited about it.
This particular machete has got a bend in it right here which is very unusual. I've never
seen before. It's got a black poly handle on there. This is 1075 high carbon steel
and we brought these things in from Central America. They didn't really have the edge on
them that I was proud of so we sent them out to a sharpening place and had them professionally
sharpened. Now the reason behind this angle here is you can stand up and chop and cut this cane
and it helps you not have to lean over so far with that bend in there when you're cutting the cane.
Now keep in mind I'm 6'3", so I have to lean over a little bit but you take somebody that's about 5
or 11 or so and it gives them just about the right angle for cutting that cane here and I'll show you
how it works. There you go. Now this is the preferred machete of everybody around here that
cuts sugarcane down. It's great but here's the problem with it. Only right-handed people can
use this machete because it's a right-handed machete. But we also got a case the left-handed
machete is in. So if you're a lefty out there and you know you have problem getting tools to
fit a left-handed person, we've got a left-handed machete for you and you just take it with your
left hand and swing and cut. So when you're ordering this machete, you've got to specify
whether you want the right-hand or the left-hand model. Another cane machete we carry is this one
right here and this one has a wood handle on there. It's also a high carbon steel. It doesn't
have quite the length on there. It doesn't have the bend on there. Now this is a great machete
for cutting but for also stripping. You have to strip all the cane off. The other machete doesn't
work that well for stripping because it's just a single bent blade. This is an all-around good
sugar cane machete. And my preference would be to use it more for stripping.
Now keep in mind we've got a limited supply of these things. This one right here is $14.99.
Let's see how I get it right here. The right-handed version and the left-handed version, specify which one you
want. These are $15.99. We've got a limited supply. We've probably got a hundred of these.
So make sure you order one today and have you a nice sugar cane machete.
