What an heirloom! Multicolored handle is a great idea. * * * > [@pulykamell](#): > > …she’ll get some chicken filets flat and then use the jagged size of the knive to pound it down… IOW don’t mess with the _babushka_! ---

> [@muldoonthief](#): > > It looks like it’s an absolute monster to use. It must weigh a ton, and doesn’t seem particularly sharp - she has to use so much force to cut the entire table shakes. She must have shoulders like a WWE wrestler to use it. A machete isn’t a kitchen knife; their blades are actually pretty dull. But one good whack and you could hack through a 1.5 inch tree limb ( or if you want to go the Rob Zombie route, an arm). Don’t mess with granny indeed…!
