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 need to find a brush hog blade that is worn out. Make you a jungle sword. I have sets of old lawn mower blades off zero turns. I wonder if that steel is worth making a hacker?
