Jose,
Did not mean to imply that this was an agricultural tool. Just that Cato said the war and execution panabases evolved from them.

But I bet this one would fell a fair sized tree, or enemy.

Until you handle a massive brute like this it is hard to conceive the cutting power of a large panabas. Congrats Bill on finding such a monster.

You'll have to use it to trim the hedge -- afraid it doesn't have much further use here in the US.

Bill, Your Panabas' smaller brotha is living with me. How about you send the big one over for a visit.
