Seems Mr. Currie was interested in an upgrade. The actual owner disagreed.

They misspelled “thug” again. Question to the class, is a machete a large knife or small sword? Thanks again to our Gun Bunny, who was kind enough to provide the link.

Yes, I know who Mr. Stokes is. Sticking him in the eye with his own words from 2017? Priceless.

Florida Man strikes …….errr……..gets struck again.
And once again, knife-gunfight-NO!
Not that there’s anything wrong with a machete, I keep one under my driver’s seat, ever since I used to roam the back roads in AZ. And have kept it there, even though I now live in The Big City. Just In Case, ya know?
A machete is more a cleaver than a sword or a knife. It is meant to hack and chop, not slice, cut or stab (which is more how knives and swords are used).
Although in this case it is an “alleged machete”. Now if I am a machete I am not going to take that shit lying down.
Now if I am a machete, I would take that situation in hand, and strike back against the nay-sayers and liars.
There. Fixed it for ya.
A machete is a tool! Knives are typically described as having a blade on one side under a certain length. Swords typically have a two sided blades, Japanese Samuari swords being an exception, at least a certain length. Though Rapiers are kinda not sharp on any side but the point. Daggers are two sided blades smaller than a sword.
A machete is just a larger knife made for a specific purpose…better question is what is a Khukri!?
I would say that a machete can be used as a sword.
Not all swords are two-edged (see: scimitar and katana)
Some are made for a slashing attack, others for a thrusting attack. Some are primary thrusting attack secondarily cutting attack. The period during which they were developed and the protections they were to counter determine the form of the sword. (Same for knives.)
Qua a tool, it is make for hacking/slashing through vegetation but is equally capable of a slashing attack against an aggressor.
Regardless, taking a machete or other edged weapon to a gun fight is quite frequently an exercise in self-annihilation.
Doncha just love these poor victim selection skilz stories? I know that I do. That cat caught hell, didn’t he?
There’s another story in the queue where a nutjob brings a blade to a gunfight. Stay tuned.
Mr. Stokes can go EADOD.
Did Mr Currie find the levee dry when he drove his Chevy there?
