Talk:Sling blade

I heavily edited this article, per the tag requesting it be copy edited. Hopefully it is up to standards by now. I also changed the statement of one edge being blunt and the other sharp to both edges being kept sharp. I have one in my garage, and both sides are sharp. Also, my parents have one, both edges of which are sharp. Ther article still needs to be expanded, perhaps adding some of the history of it's use as a tool, origins, etc. --TheMightyGrecian 08:38, 9 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Copyedit looks great to me, as the original tagger. Much more Wiki! Skybright Daye 12:14, 9 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've also heard kaiser blades called "idiot sticks." --Theloonieonthegrass (talk) 18:32, 16 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

They are indeed, due the the type of person who used them back in the day of un-automated land clearing (inmates).--74.241.119.114 (talk) 23:04, 21 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Some folks call it a sling blade"

I've taken out, twice now, use in the lead of "some folks call it a sling blade," which is the expression used in the movie of the same name. Hate to be humorless about it, but there is one reference in the article to the movie and another, sly reference is not needed.--Stetsonharry (talk) 14:14, 8 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Use as a Zombie-slaying implement

This looks like it would be good to kill zombies with. Is this noteworthy? I'd hate to see a zombie epidemic arise and the world be left without this information. 69.133.45.233 (talk) 04:23, 5 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No. And it's original research, too. Mintrick (talk) 16:11, 5 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
