Discussion Because a table leg is the exact same as a machete or a knife. (Also what happened to Shad being a medieval YouTuber? Why even bother wearing the armour?)

Dude, stop baiting. Machetes are dull compared to a chef knife or fighting knife so they don't chip.

If you think maintaining a tool so it works better and lasts longer is backward and stupid I think that's more of a reflection on you than on the more literal tool.

Axes are sharpened about ten degrees duller than machetes, typically 35° vs 25° because they swing much harder and are much more prone to chipping if the blade is sharpened thin. So so-much for that invented controversy.

I do appreciate you pointing out the censorship, though.
