What, and miss all the fun? I guess I enjoy optimizing a good piece of kit. I've been looking for something like the CS shovel for years. Digs, pries, cuts, and doesn't look like a weapon. I just need to reprofile the handle a bit.

I like machetes as well, and have several. A couple are junkers, at least for the conditions up here. The other two are marked USMC 1943 -- they have great steel, and they have the mass to deal with solid wood.

I like the look of those Meyercos, and the short-and-stout Ontarios as well.
