A Panabas is not a Katana

Well, a panabas IS, supposed to be a gardening / farming tool.
I had no idea, I thought it was for chopping pigs in half on Forged In Fire. I've used it to cut all kinds of stuff, but if I could use it to garden and farm then that clearly makes it better than a katana.
 
"Panabas" means "for trimming." But others say it's "for chopping". Hence the implied combat application.
 
Well I enjoyed watching the top of that grape fly off so let's call it even. ;)
