That my friend is the power of the smatchet! Nothing makes you happy like a good ol fashioned smatchet!
W.E. Fairbairn said:"The psychological reaction of any man, when he first takes the smatchet in his hand is full justification for its recommendation as a fighting weapon. He will immediately register all the essential qualities of good soldier-confidence, determination, and aggressiveness.
Its balance, weight and killing power, with the point, edge or pommel, combined with the extremely simple training necessary to become efficient in its use, make it the ideal personal weapon for all those not armed with a rifle and bayonet."
Could this be an old fashioned smachet?
