The 16" Double Edge Ditch Bank Blade is the granddaddy of wildland clearing tools — built for aggressive brush clearing, fire line construction, and vegetation management in the toughest environments. Trusted by wildland firefighters, forestry crews, parks departments, and land management professionals, this heavy-duty tool is designed to power through thick brush, saplings, vines, and overgrowth up to 2 inches in diameter with ease.
Featuring a rugged 16-inch double-edge steel blade, this ditch bank blade provides versatile cutting performance for both right- and left-handed swings, making it ideal for clearing trails, cutting firebreaks, and removing dense vegetation during wildfire suppression and prescribed burn operations. The blade is precision manufactured from high carbon hot-rolled American strip steel for outstanding strength, durability, and edge retention in demanding field conditions.
To ensure maximum performance, the blade is oil quenched for uniform hardness and straightness, then carefully drawn and tempered to provide the ideal balance of toughness and long-lasting edge holding ability. Each blade is machine ground for a sharp, consistent cutting edge that stands up to repeated use in rugged terrain.
The durable 40-inch American hickory handle features a secure 3-hole mounting design for added strength and reliability during heavy-duty use. Proudly Made in the USA, this professional-grade ditch bank blade is an essential addition to any wildland firefighting equipment cache, brush truck, forestry operation, or trail maintenance crew.
