Knife or Death

[dirc]

Kinda thought the point of an axe was to have a good amount of mass in the head.

A machete, on the other hand...

As for swords, granted, no one carries them around these days, but there's a reason rapiers, foils and epees came about. Against unarmored opponents, lighter and faster were a significant advantage. Easier to carry all day long, too.

you obviously have not seen Mecha 's Ti axe... it's a thing of beauty ...

Ha! In the axe/tomahawk subforum, it was decided that it isn't an axe, it's more like an axe-shaped heavy machete.

Can't wait! This will be a continuation of Season 2 starting tonight.

Alright! Finally!

Knife or Death FTW!

Donovan is a beast!

 

[jlauffer]

Still hate Extinguisher though...more luck than skill involved in that one. Same thing with the other one where you had to get meat to land on a grill.

Yep. Glad to see a Bladesports competitor who brought a not-a-competition-chopper.

Looks like the rope took everyone out tonight!

I watched it. Long bendy swords are a bad idea.

Some of those guys were chopping with the side of their blade... No wonder they bent!

Another new episode tonight? Or was I just imagining things in my half-asleep existence?

A crappy tool is a crappy tool.

The chick's sword held up. Why she didn't bother to sharpen it is a whole different question. The short guy with the glasses in Season 1 (IIRC, he forged the sword himself and mentioned a molten salt heat treat?), showed just how much of an advantage a well-made long double edged blade provides.

The tall guy is an idiot. When he hands Travis the sword and Travis asks, "How long have you had it?" and he replies, "About as long as you have"... the word 'Moron' immediately came to mind.

Apparently, there are a lot of folks who've never heard the phrase, "Never take an untested weapon to battle".

Veterans special tonight

Thanks! I was wondering if they'd just neglected to update the ad from the day before.

P.S.
Veterans? Does that mean we finally get to see Jonny in action tonight?

Supposed to be a 2 hour special tonight.
