Reason to keep your chainsaw sharp
You just never know when you have to do some serious cutting so keep the
teeth sharp and the fuel fresh for a quick start http://nypost.com/2017/11/02/man-kil...with-chainsaw/ A Virginia man attacked his elderly wife with a hatchet and then committed suicide with a chainsaw Wednesday, police said. The chaos unfolded when the man, 70, assaulted his wife, 76, in the foyer of their Springfield home shortly before 3:30 p.m., during a squabble, cops said. An adult family member arrived at the home during the attack and was unable to open the front door, so she pushed the door in, according to authorities. The relative managed to rescue the woman and left the home, but the man followed the pair outside, where a struggle ensued over the hatchet. After 911 was called, the man eventually returned home and shut the door. Responding officers found the man lying in a pool of blood in the garage, with serious injuries from a chainsaw, police said. |

I saw the story on another site. The old man attacked his wife with the "blunt end" of the hatchet. There should be a law against blunt end hatchets. Both end should be sharp, just like a chainsaw should be sharp. Sharp tools are safer! |

"Nonsense!", I say. I bought a brand new paring knife and it cut me clear to the bone the very first time I used it. It was too damn sharp. I never had that particular problem with a dull paring knife. I've heard professional chefs voice the same sentiment. nb |

Sharp knives do cut and nick, same with a sharp blade on a chainsaw? Most knife cuts I ever encountered was as a teen working in a real butcher shop. Best knives ever. Dull chainsaw blades might break and knock your eyeball out. |
