~I was going to pick one of those and/or a war hammer up for home defense(also perhaps the long assegai spear) till I can afford a suitable firearm. How do you like the battle axe? Looked pretty good on the dvd.Brody R. said:that is nice looking. just picked up a cs battle axe, gonna try to work on that and my frontier hawk.
The head is real nice after you thin/sharpen the blade (bought it from ragweed forge and Ragnar took care of that real well for $5) it's light and fast and cuts good, the only problem is the head to handle fit. CS has by far the worse fit out of any axe or tomahawk i've handled. To get it to stay on I plan on using gorrilla glue, langets, and rawhide. For somethign like home defense i'd imagine it would work great. The thin, light, sharp blade would ravage someone (assuming you buy it from ragweed forge or work on it yourself, otherwise the edge is kinda blunt and thick). I have the warhammer too, personally if I had to take one in a fight i'd use the axe, just seems faster and I think it would do more damage to an unarmored person.
Thanks. Still sounds great, I will enjoy modding it too. Actually then again I might look into ragweed forge since it's only 5 bucks and I would probably screw it up doing it myself (all I have to work with it a file, and very small grinder) thanks for the tip. I'm going to flatten the sides of the handle when I recieve it.
The head I really like is the pole axe, which is way too big for indoors use. Perhaps chopping a few feet off might work but then again, could be way off balance. My Nam Hawk I sold the day I got it I hated the balance so bad (plus it was a junk one off ebay, head flew off on second swing). I like how the battle axe is most similar to the real viking axes. And now that you said it feels light and fast, I'll pick that one up first, hopefully from the ragweed forge(first time hearing about them)

I would like to keep some non-firearm weapons (and train with them) around for a lot of reasons; As long as I have a gun, any gun, that would be my first choice. Still, it is good to have skills with a wide variety, for legal reasons you can't plan to legally always have your gun of choice (the legalities of certain firearms, and, these days it is not hard to become a convicted felon, the penalties for having a gun after that are staggering, not worth the risk IMO)
All in all though there is just no comparing a projectile weapon with a manual (club or blade)one. I am more of a gun guy but just recently have gotten back into collecting knives(and other blades) and enjoy them just as much.
I know why CS gives those dvd's away free, I wanted half the stuff they sell after watching it.
I currently own no firearms for financial reasons, but keep a cheap machete by the front door, (used to keep a blackjack on the nightstand, but mysteriously vanished during a party I had).
