    I thought about that glow in the dark thing. May be pretty handy to grab it at dusk, as finishing, or at night, as needed! A proper scabbard should be forthcoming?

    I really want one of these!

    The glow in the dark is very subdued because it's only a liner. In pitch dark it is visible easily enough. In lighter conditions you don't even notice it. Other than the fact that by default, glow in the dark always makes things better, I think it has an actual use case here. If you're out camping it might be handy to find it in the dark without searching for it. And the second thing I thought of was that if you are so inclined, you could mount a scabbard to your nightstand, and if something goes bump in the night, you can take it out silently without having to rummage around or turn on the light.

    Et voila. What I didn't expect was that it would split the large block of wood mid air. I thought it would just go 'thunk' half an inch to an inch into the wood. Instead it went clean through 2 times.

    I think it's safe to say that it passed the test.

    It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
    This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.

    I got a bit worried when you walked off camera after chopping up the chair,, I said, "Oh my God, he's going for the children's playhouse!"

    I like it for sure. I've gotta make myself a machete, would come in handy from time to time for sure.
