    Man Arested for Intimidation After Brandishing Machete in Bloomington

    One can see why it's a tool of choice. $6.99 for an 18" machete is a good deal. With tax it's only $0.41 per inch of blade.

    101 uses, not all legal.

    I somehow hooked and reeled in one of these cheap 'chette's (rhino term,) while bank fishing last year.

    There were a bunch of folks around that seen me. First thing out of everyone's mouth was "murder weapon?"

    I've thought about getting one of these things. Might just strap it on to mess with people :D


    I went to Walmart once wearing a Ka-Bar. I'd come from fishing in the Wabash River, and I carry a big knife to dispatch any invasive species I might catch. Didn't think you take it off.

    A couple punk kids came up and asked me what I'd do if they took it off me and used it on me. A couple responses crept into my head, but they didn't seem to be inclined to start anything physical, so I stepped around them and continued on my way.

    I used to wonder if they ever figured out how close they were to getting shot.

    I again would have responded with, well boys dont bring a knife to a gun fight.

    I do like to believe the gladius still has yet to score its final human KIA
