Just because a blade is"big", doesn't mean you can't do fine work with it, I once won a cash bet by getting 16 slices out of a tomato using a meat cleaver, they were all flat, firm and true, but I had worked the edge of the cleaver up before starting to slice the tomato. I won another bet by shaving my right arm bare with a machete, I got some strange looks with one bare arm for a while, but fifty bucks was fifty bucks.
