Sword? I would like something from the Busse Boys, but now sure I need to be spending that type of money now.

Just something to keep around, believe it or not, for Critters. Dogs and cats that stray into our yard. Patty and I have been threatened three times by dogs in our own yard. One of the threats would have ended if I had had something longer than a 3 3/4 inch blade on me. Now I DO NOT intend to carry one around with me, but If I see one outside and I need to go outside as well, I wouldn't care if the neighbors did see me.
