Guess you're not aware that before 9/11 the blade on a crash ax was
pretty damn dull. THAT was the point (so to speak).

Not a problem. After all, you don't really want to CUT anything with
it -- you
want to SMASH something (i.e., the hijacker's skull) with it. Sharp
doesn't
matter when the point is well under a square inch, and you attain
significant
velocity with it...

Now all we need is a pilot's course on pushing the ax, as opposed to
swinging it.
