The punishment for this transgression is death by smatcheting squad at dawn. Any final words Mr. Chutethemall?

 

[hank_rearden]

this, because i find the need to use it a lot.

Can you use a smatchet to kill a zombie thread?

 

[horseclover]

Not even a smatchet can kill a smatchet. There are many like this but this thread is smachet.

I'm debating a repro smatchet vs a repro 1944 Enfield bolo/machete bayonet to go with my No1 MkIII*. The bayonet looks smatchety enough and a smatchet that fits on a long battle rifle is like putting Chuck Norris on the end of a Tomahawk missile.

It's not a smatchet unless it's a smatchet.

Just realized this Smatchet thread has been going on for about 542 days! Gave Ultra (OP) a like because by this time he must have perfected his Smatchet skills to perfection and I want to be on his good side.

Who fires the blank Smatchet at him?

What a ripoff. Or maybe the uploader just has a really deep voice.

I think we might reconsider pronunciation if one is going to sashay with a smachet.

Well, despite Allan’s incorrect characterization of the ZT folks as “loonies”, his suggestion is a good one as far as quality. I certainly can heartily vouch for their blades.

I wish they would make a smatchet.....

How short are the short swords?

How short are the short swords?

Zombie tools?

About 17-19 inch blades for their legionnaire and sharkalope. Their parabellum has a 12 inch blade, and they have some shorter knives.

 

[shoegazer]

Giedymin goodness, 16-17" blades. Around 40oz each.

 

[Romeo Sellspear]

You might try seeing if you can find a scaled down Greek xiphos. They have a leaf shaped blade like your looking for but they are commonly around 24 inches.

 

[Triton]

Apparently this thread needs more smatcheting...

 

[horseclover]

I'll have to admit to not having a smatchet but I am thinking about one of the WWI Welsh artillery knife/sword reproductions. For $100, maybe a better pizza slicer.

In the meantime I have been accumulating shorter stuff the past few years. This one just came in from France. Nothing special but late 18th century with what looks like a dendritic crucible steel blade. Very lively!
Ebony and steel with a flat grind and sharp clipped point.
