Three khukuris vs rotten tatami mat with video

[DannyinJapan]

I went outside and had to destroy a bug-ridden old tatami mat Ive been using for shuriken practice. Once they get wet, they draw bugs like nothing else..
anyway, I made a crappy little video of three khukuri's biting into the side.
18 " pen knife (needed sharpening)
25" gelbu ( bit 6" deep the first swing)
21" Half-moon sirupati (other manufacturer)
I cant host the video myself, but if someone else can, Ill email it to you for this thread.

Dave, can you host my video?

 

[Dave Rishar]

Only if you can keep them all below 6 megs or so, total. When my desktop went TU I lost my ability to steal GunnerIke's webspace. I have replacement parts on the way which should arrive later today but I can't guarantee that they'll do the job, or that I'll have them installed in a reasonable amount of time. My schedule is currently unpleasant.

This line had me smiling Dave. There is a quiet acceptance in it that is profound.

I sent it to ya Dave. its 1.9 mb. Id rather the video was privately hosted and just watched by cantina members, its better for me that way than youtube..

you can also use Photobucket to host videos up to 3 minutes long, then they are still pretty private, unless you make the album open to public viewing.

Not sure if they compress it, however.

I second the thumbs up for this line I can almost picture a non-english speaking business man searching his "English for business conversations: you too can talk American!" while trying to tell an American colleage that he's too busy for lunch:

I'm sorry but "my schedule is currently unpleasant" :thumbup:

There's not much that I can do about it, one way or the other.

Anyway, the movie:

Like I might have said, it's nothing great, just a bit of something to watch.
I am thinking of doing it again only trying to chew down as far as I can in 10 seconds with each blade..
