I am a bit, sometimes. It keeps things interesting right? I've got a few Fiskars axes, pretty good quality, keep their edge and all. Good for cleaving things in twain. Lol.
A bit? Right now lots of crazy is better! It does allow for unlimited options....
The Fiskar products are top quality, and even when I'm trying to prep on a budget; some really good gear is still required. I did buy it on sale though, LOL!
Cleaving in twain like the black knight on Monty Python? Yup, that's what it's for! The katanas are supposed to be real, but they are a good copy; with many folded steel layers. It's good steel, and is beginning to show a nice edge. Once sharpened they will have to stay in the scabbard as much as possible, dangerous to handle....
You know you've got a good edge when you say, needs to remain in the scabbard as it's too dangerous.
I've seen people cut themselves badly through poor handling techniques.
I bought a friend of mine a SOG key knife like mine for her keyring. It's sharp. I get mine through airport security every time, just looks like a key. Anyway, she used it to cut some cable ties on her desk at work, nearly sliced her finger right off. Dumbass. Lol.
Had she had that katana she might be minus one head.
There is no substitute for a really fine edge! And handling is an issue, so I intend to be very careful after it's sharpened. I will initially practice with one of the dull ones, until I get it into muscle memory. Then I'll see if I can do some damage to some target items!
I had an idiot in high school that grabbed a knife I was sharpening on the bus to the vo tech. He drew it across his thumb...and cut it to the bone! He didn't even know he'd cut himself....
I recall doing some practice with a butterfly knife back in the day, (balisong), I'm assuming you know how they flick and twirl them to open and closed positions. Anyway, many cuts later I mastered it. My point...I wish I had a blunt one to practice with. Lol.
drew it across his thumb...and cut it to the bone
Deserved it. Although, that's pretty harsh I guess, I should remember that people are so clueless.

He was telling me that I didn't know how to sharpen a knife...we called him 'mouth' because he thought he knew everything.
It took 4 stitches to close!
I may do a post on sharpening, most people don't know how.
🤔😳🤕😑👍👌🤠
I knew a guy we called Cluedo like that game... because he didn't know much, had no clue mostly, but couldn't keep his trap shut.
Do the sharpening post.
He was clueless, sad really; just couldn't shut up....
I'll look at that, might be fun.
👍👌🤠💗😆
We went to the yearly machine gun shoot today. My Son got to shoot a Ma Duce (M2 BMG) today! Fun and loud.
👌😁🤠💙👍💗🎯😆
