German term

Machen Sie fette Beute

German to English Marketing Idioms / Maxims / Sayings
Der ganze Satz lautet:
Machen Sie fette Beute, benutzen Sie unsere messerscharfen Werkzeuge.

Es ist für den Werbekatalog einer Firma, die Sägeblätter herstellt. Fällt einem dazu was "scharfsinniges" ein? Mir nämlich nur was blödsinniges. Also mal ehrlich, der Satz auf Deutsch ist ja auch eher seltsam.

One possibility. The German text sounds indeed a little bit weird.
