Did I mention I got a sword? It's not all pretty, though. We have a whole lot of blackberry bushes that need to be cut down, and the 2 options (machette: way too dull, or clippers: no fun) were unexceptable for me. I was almost confident I wanted to get the replica of "Sting", which is Frodo's elvin dagger from The Lord of the Rings, but after bringing it to the salesman's attention, he explained that the LOTR weapons were mostly for display and would become dull much quicker. The one he suggested was called the "Banshee" and in the advertisement, it claimed to be the "ultimate brush-cutter". He also said it was made of carbon steel, which is supposed to be better than 440. These were the kinds of swords they used in wars. Both salesmen gave caution, for this is the sharpest sword in the store and could effectively be used for accidental amputation if foolishly wielded. I bought it and tried it at home. It does perform impressively, though not quite as much as I had expected. For example: The boy there said if you touched the sharp edge of the blade, you'd undoubtedly draw blood, though when I tried it out, it didn't even leave a mark. Oh well. I'm sure most of the people on here could find a good use for this. Anyone want to borrow it?
