We’ve put our Tactical Smatchet on sale on the website. Thought we’d share some pictures of it.

Tactical Smatchet Short Sword

History of the Smatchet:
The Smatchet was used by British and American special forces (Special Air Service and Office of Strategic Services, respectively) during World War II. Designed as a pure combat weapon. The psychological reaction of any man, when he first takes the smatchet in his hand is full justification for its recommendation as a fighting weapon. He will immediately register all the essential qualities of a good fighter - confidence, determination, and aggressiveness. Its balance, weight and killing power, with the point and edge, combined with the extremely simple training necessary to become efficient in its use, make it the ideal personal weapon.
