I heavily edited this article, per the tag requesting it be copy edited. Hopefully it is up to standards by now. I also changed the statement of one edge being blunt and the other sharp to both edges being kept sharp. I have one in my garage, and both sides are sharp. Also, my parents have one, both edges of which are sharp. Ther article still needs to be expanded, perhaps adding some of the history of it's use as a tool, origins, etc. -- TheMightyGrecian 08:38, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
Copyedit looks great to me, as the original tagger. Much more Wiki! Skybright Daye 12:14, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
I've also heard kaiser blades called "idiot sticks." --

I've taken out, twice now, use in the lead of "some folks call it a sling blade," which is the expression used in the movie of the same name. Hate to be humorless about it, but there is one reference in the article to the movie and another, sly reference is not needed.-- Stetsonharry ( talk) 14:14, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
This looks like it would be good to kill zombies with. Is this noteworthy? I'd hate to see a zombie epidemic arise and the world be left without this information. 69.133.45.233 ( talk) 04:23, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
What is the significance of the term "Kaiser"? Does it bear some resemblance to historical or ceremonial arms associated with the Kaisers of Germany? Mmmm hmmm. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.82.215.31 ( talk) 05:15, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
A brush hook is the exact same thing, and by far the more usual name. If I Google "brush hook", I get 67,300 hits, while "kaiser blade" gets 30,800. However, it's worse than that: of the first 20 links for "brush hook", one is the Wikipedia article, 4 are about a place of the same name, and every other one is either a serious discussion of the tool or a manufacturer advertising it for sale. Whereas of the first 20 links for "kaiser blade", most are automated copies of this article, discussions about the movie, or game content inspired by the movie. Only 3 are actually discussing the tool, and of those:
