Yup, you NEED a Mistress

Man... I have to second jimmyjones motion! The battle mistress is the bomb!!!

I've had at least $1000 worth of fun with it. It really is awesome to be able to chop on hardwoods, split firewood, and generally just hack on stuff... only to find out that the damn thing still shaves hair off your arm. Just amazing...

If you want something smaller, but still a good chopper, the Sarsquatch is a very well designed blade IMO. Either way... I doubt it will be your last.

there have been a few SHBM(strait handle battle mistress) on the exchange as of late, even with my LE I want one of these!
