too late, i went out and used it...it as cheap enough that it isnt a big deal to get an 18" later. the 22 worked ok, but it didnt cut as swiftly as I would have expected. maybe a sharpening will helpWaloidian,
Yea 18" is the way to go, do you think that there is still a chance to return/exchange your 22" for an 18"?
