A black dude I worked with for the last 13 years has been calling me Hacksaw since we met...I have absolutely no idea how or why he came up with it, but he was persistent in it's daily use up until he recently took the buyout that AAM was offering us. In a greeting/acknowledgment fashion, he would always yell it across the plant in a deep guttural tone that gave a "badass" flavor to it. I have to say, I like the ring it has. It's funny because I recently met bbjsw10's wife, and she admitted she was uncomfortable with the fact that her husband and son were camping next to someone named "Hacksaw" during Johnny Mullet's September '08 gathering in Ohio...She actually wanted them to come back early and not stay the second night...I think she thought I was "dangerous"...hahaha
Although I do own a couple hacksaws, I actually prefer using a reciprocating saw whenever possible...they cause way more destruction...and faster too.
Hacksaw
