Once you start filling down to a good edge, they are awesome. Only $30 too. "Here, take this land mine and protect your property with it." -Ron Swanson

It has a longer reach and I don't get whipped by bushes using it. https://www.walmart.com/ip/MintCraft-331...13=&veh=sem Originally Posted By: Wiley Coyote Well, the way I see it is there's just too many assholes On a good day there's a bunch of assholes in here.

Sig Sauer, to hell and back reliable. Whatever suits you just tickles me plum to death. Can I refill your eggnog for you? Get you something to eat? Drive you out to the middle of nowhere and leave you for dead?

The only problem with them is that people want to keep them after they use one. Cold Steel Two Handed Machete 97THM https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000W472WS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_g4BWzbEVRZPH3
