Quality of different khukuri manufacturer?

I am far from being a martial artist, but doesn't a house contain areas where it would be hard to swing anything as long as a bat? Might a thrust with a smaller diameter rod be more effective?

In terms of blades, might the confined space favor a thrusting weapon of short sword size? I did fence some, and the thrust was harder to block than a cut.
 
A fast and light double edged knife with a decent blade size (8in or so) may be of better use then a khukuri.
 
Thomas,
While I agree that space is prolly a consideration I dont think that baseball bats would be ruled out...Could be wrong though:p

Skyler...you would have to close with your opponant...Training gives you an edge for this, however a decent sized khuk or bat can give you reach...PLUS it is hard to bash someone's brains through the floor with a small dagger...

A bat or 15"+ Khuk works wonders for this...Swing like ya swinging for the fences and that should take care of that..

A chainsaw or ax would work as well (as long as you keep them in constant motion), and just makes me smile to think of the carnage that would be wrought on the evil doers:D

ahhh melee weapons!!
 
A jo (4' staff) would be a good choice as well. It's light, fast, and can do pretty nasty damage to an attacker. My son studys eastern weapons as part of his karate training. I wouldn't want to go up against someone that knows what they're doing with a jo.
 
hmm a spear?? would cause massive bloodloss and the shock value would be sweet as well..;)

4ft with an barbed end...works for me!!:D

I have a 14'x 1" roll of aluminum, it's very light, unbreakable and will smash through a person like a potato...maybe something to increase the grip might be good.

But one thing that makes a great weapon for the house and the car is a good 12" craftsman screwdriver for hitting thrusting cutting etc and the butt works like a kubaton and it's both cheap and legal...besides if you break it Sears will give you another.
 
What about a good old fashioned club? Idiot-proof and perfect for a fight or flight reflex. I have one for my home defense. I love my khuks, and I know I could do some real damage with the kobra or rose resting snuggly beside my bed frame. However, there is something scary and powerful about my club. My wife calls it my "zombie-killer".

It started its life as a spare post hole digger handle at the local Lowes. I brought it home, cut it down to 31", sanded the finish off of it for a good wet/dry grip. Then I installed two 2" galv. bolts with lock washers and nuts through the predrilled holes to give the club head a small amount of weight as well as pressure points to focus the force of the blow. For a little extra umph I drilled a 2.5" coated woodscrew through the opposite direction as the bolts, cut the ends off so only 1/4"-1/2" stuck out of each side (to keep from bending) then ground both ends to a point. Finally, i put a woodscrew through the top center, cut it off at 1/4", then ground it to a point. Just to give it a great look of meanness I wrapped the head in several wraps of 1/4" wide thin leather. Then I coated the whole head with a mixture of poly wood finish and jb weld. The wood finish melted the weld and made it drip and flow into every little crack and nook before it hardened. Add a hole at the base for a leather thong, and you're ready to crush some skulls. Extensive tests must still be done, but a coconut (the skull) covered by half of a hollowed melon (the scalp) did not offer any real resistance to a 3/4 speed blow.
Bring on the zombie hordes.

I prefer a Kilt but that is me (and I have the legs for it!) and I have a leather mask here somewhere that would surely strick fear into any tweaker!

Skyler R. How about a boar spear and a knife for back up?

Yuppers now we are getting somewhere...And if ya got a chainsaw then it is ALLL good.:thumbup:

btw...This subject is something that I have thought about more than once...A smashing weapon just makes the most sense to me...A good old fashioned club (ie baseball bat) or a knife that you can smash the blade into there head (Khuk or ax) would seem to me at least to be the only option for those with minimal training...

yea I know I talk about chainsaw's entirely to much, but I do have one handy for those that are particularly naughty!

Remember...when using Melee weapons you MUST love the violence that you are bringing to them...DO NOT think of the pain that THEY are feeling, only the feeling of accomplishment (ie.protecting hearth and home) that there pain is causing you to feel
