    Are we going to have a gathering for your install so we can drink beer and watch you put it all together?
    Of course we will be willing to give you plenty of helpful support!

    I can't see how this could possibly go awry. Does look like something to try though.

    Okay, I want to see some elm get split with that... The bounce back could be problematic. Hang that on the side of my rack instead of the small axe I have-no one would notice or mind the sword I'm packing... (I have already had questions about my "rig" being parked in the high school parking lot with my axe and shovel...)

    When the caption of "split any wood with ease" came up I thought the same thing.

    I would not classify a sword safer than an axe :thumbsup:

    Unpopular opinion..... Have it coated in dark grey, instead of black.


    See an ax with a wood handle, especially with curves will absorb more of that impact, especially with all the weight being in the head. That's sore vibrates like hell and I can imagine your hands and arms will fatigue fairly quickly. It's cool as hell though

    Oh, don't get me wrong. I would love to be swinging around a sword like that.

    There are emergency medical people in the group, right?

    That would work just great in Madison... If you want the SWAT team at your door! LOL

    I have tourniquets and watched a YouTube video once on how to apply them...so you could say I'm qualified.

    Swing away!

    Shared that sword with a buddy who helped me out with my suspension swap. This was his reply: "Well all it takes is a forge(under $200 on Amazon) and a leaf spring."

    Why are all of my friends always trying to get me to spend more?

    Can I borrow your new forge for a couple weeks this summer?

    I keep a box of Band-Aids in my truck.
    All in "fair" condition.



    I thought that's what friends are for.
