Fight the Military-Agricultural Complex?
The Vision of Yesha‘yahu ben Amotz:
And he will judge between the nations,
and decide for many peoples;
and they will beat their swords into plowshares,
and their spears into pruninghooks —
no nation will raise a sword against any other nation,
and they will no longer learn war.
(Isaiah 2:4)
The Word of God to Yo’eil ben Petu’eil:
Proclaim this among the nations —
Prepare war! Wake up the heroes!
Let all the warriors draw near and come up!
Beat your plowshares into swords,
and your pruninghooks into spears;
let the weak say, "I am strong!"
(Joel 4:9-10)
I have a replica medieval sickle that I bought off of Ebay when I realized that I probably wouldn't be able to get ahold of an actual (or replica) Ancient Middle-Eastern sickle-sword of the type our ancestors used. Except for Eihud ben Geira’. But he was left-handed, what do you expect? Anyway, I want to get the above two quotes engraved on the sickle, one on either side of the blade, in ketav ‘Ivri.

It's a setting, i turned it off.
Would this machete be considered a "proper utensil", guys?
LOL!
Only if your piece of toast is as big as the table top!
Well, i found a guy in «coughcough»Crown Heights«cough» who said he can do it, but it'll cost $150.
