I know these are all over the web but I just wanted to show off the one I chopped up. It was calling my name as I walked to grab some charcoal for thanksgiving at the local HD.

It's HDX brand and made of tempered steel, wood and plastic. Maybe later I'll make it serrated. It only weighs 1.6 lbs, compact and best of all only cost $12.00. Even after chopping, it feels pretty sturdy and made nice plugs in the yard. *Disclaimer* I live in the tropics and the soil is pretty moist.

Looks mean!! What did you cut it with? A torch or plasma cutter? All I have is a grinder which worked well. Nothing got too hot.
