Bought the first one (yard blade only, already had a pole) and it worked great to cut down 3 yr growth of cattails in my lake. I referenced the site inquiring about how do you sharpen the blade (anticipating it would dull out sooner or later). The owner responded back almost immediately with advice as well as informing me I could purchase a 2nd for half the price of the first. I chose option 2 and made a 2nd purchase. This is great product and works as advertised. Thanks, Ken
