I can't have a sword and not use it.

[swampratt]

My youngest son got a sword many years ago and was proud of it and like me he will use it to cut things.
We went to the front yard and began chopping the hedges to square them up.
A few wacks later the sword was bent.
POS!
I am pretty sure my 2 sons have never got a sword after that.

I wanna freakin wack stuff if i have a sword in my hands.

I sure ain't leaving it hanging on the wall.
I would take it hunting and fishing and cut my way to the good spots.

That is all. I do not have any rear engine mowers.

You have to have a good sword for that. Just remember that swords are for whackin humans and watermelons and such, not wood and brush and things that will destroy it. A good machete is probably better.

I do have a rear engine mower...it's good.

I replaced two worn blades with swords on my rear engine mower, now it just sets next to the wall.

Get this. I liked it so much I now have 3. One under the seat of each truck. The sheath is included.

I've cut brush, vines, thorns, and tree limbs 6" in diameter with them. Holds an edge well and haven't broke or chipped one yet.

I snagged an awesome machete years back at a garage sale for like $3. It's one of those 80's Columbian made neck choppers. I swore by that thing when it came to self-defense from blackberry bushes in the PNW.

I have a 24” machete scabbard mounted to my cub cadet zero turn. It was useful back on my three acres in Jones but since then I’ve enjoyed it even more whipping it out in Edmond HOA land to pluck a dandelion from the front lawn

I bought a big house in a fancy addition up in Edmond one time. I'd get done mowing and sit on the front porch in my overalls and sleeves cut off my shirt with a quart of Budweiser in a brown paper sack and watch all the suits drive by getting home. Had one stop one time and ask what kind of weed killer and fertilizer I used to keep the owner's yard looking so nice. Told him I owned the place and I'd be glad to come over and take care of his if his wife was home during the day.

A friend of mine chose the USMC Option for active duty service after graduating from Annapolis. A Mameluke Sword was part of his Dress Uniform. Years later, one of his sons got it out of his personal effects and employed it for cutting limbs off trees and striking other inappropriate things. He wasn’t too happier about it…..

I 2nd your affinity for Cold Steel products. Have had many over the years and for the price, you'll be hard pressed to find something better than what they sell. I keep their entrenching shovel in my go-bag
