## Questions & Answers

**Q: How this is the blade?**
A: Great. I ran it thru my "work sharp" belt sharpener when I got it and it works great. I've cut saplings one to two inches in diameter around my tree stand and cleared brush and tree limbs in the yard. You could cut a small tree with it but it will take a few extra whacks more than a full size blade. The point is good to have in case a critter comes at you in the woods. Can't beat it for the price. Better than some more costly machetes.

**Q: How do you strip the coating off this machete?**
A: I havent tried to strip the coating on mine but Ive used klean strip on other blades and it works well. Make sure you wear gloves and read the warning labels because it is potent stuff and you do not want to get it on your skin.

**Q: I have a gopher problem... would it help?**
A: Gophers are varmints, and a varmint will never quit...they're like the Viet Cong...varmint cong

**Q: Is this full tang**
A: Yes, it's full tang.  Simple use of a magnet indicates a ferrous attraction exists through the entire length (past the lanyard hole) and including the inside edge of that slip-guard pommel.
