            No -- there was no safety sheath for the blade, but it needs one when kept sharp. A old pants leg (old sweat pants, etc.) cut off and tied at the small end can cover and protect the blade and to provide reasonable safety when transporting the tool. The Razor-Back 16 in. Ditch-Bank Blade is a great too and is highly recommended for cleaning out banks, berms, and weeded/sampling areas that have grown up over time.

              I use a wide file and grind both sides until it’s good their are other grinding wheels that can be used to do so

                  Not really. The blade is too thin. If somehow the undead were dependent on a blood supply or tendons, you could nick several ankles, but this has a long handle and a thin blade. It'll be essentially useless. Look for Brush Clearing tools. Not grass

                    I'm looking to deal with English Ivy by removing it without chemicals. I know the preferred method is by hand, but is there any tool out there that will work great for the task? We have so much of it to deal with. I would even be willing to rent big equipment just to get it to a manageable point.

                    Depends on your physical shape. The bank blade is a great implement of destruction but it will work you. It’s my preferred exercise equipment.

                        Hi workwork47. Thank you for your question. I called the company who handles the Bank Blade by RazorBank. This tool does carry a LifeTime Warranty, but replacement handles from this company are no longer available. Please give their Customer Service number a call and they will be able to help you replace your Bank Blade tool. 800-393-1846 You can also check with your local Home Depo to see if they still have some in stock. Please let us know if we can be of further assistance. Rick_HD_OC

                          Does this tool come delivered sharpened? I don't want to sharped right out of box, I don't mind sharpening later.

                            It's sharpened, but not real sharp. You'll want to sharpen it to do a better job of cutting.

                                          This is my new favorite for trimming back brush and limbs . Holds a great blade edge . Stays sharp , has a good handle to keep a firm grip. Would definitely recommend for clearing.

                                          Hi,

                                          Thank you for your feedback! We are sorry to hear about your ditch blade. Please send photos of the issue along with proof of purchase to Help@Ames.com for review.
                                          When you buy a premium name brand at a premium price then receive a Chinese made tool it's always a disappointment. The recycled Buick in the blade made it a challenge to sharpen.

                                          Garbage. I read the reviews and bought anyway. Blade comes unsharpened and handle broke chopping on a less than 2" root. I had another brand from back in the day, it lasted maybe 20 years. Home Depot issued refund.
