I had an old late 50's Craftsman ripsaw blade laying around that just couldn't be made into a functional saw again for a few reasons, so I decided to cut a small light machete from it.
It's really thin and really light , but it rings like crazy and took a great edge.
With how old handsaws we're meant to be sharpened I'd imagine it'll hold an edge ok being used to take out weeds and stuff, but time will tell as I didn't do any tempering or anything.
So far I'm liking the really broad shape i went with.
