That's a beautiful blade and a fun video. I was expecting completely different results with the 2x4 and the rope though.

I suspect those were both largely Gabe issues. Had they both been secured, the results could certainly have been different.

Fair enough guys - I definitely had fun, but the thicker geometry was surprisingly hard to get through things. I will gladly take the blame, however it is strange that the Cold Steel Katana machete went through many times without such issues before it broke. The rope was secured the same way - it just went through much easier. Definitely was a casual set-up though. Anyway - hope you guys have a great day.

Not a pumpkin

It's a "crown grey pumpkin" - that's the main kind we have down here in NZ, different color from the usual. Cheers, hope you have a good day.
