Thanks everyone. It is very pleasant to see the video so well received. :thumbup:
If/when the opportunity again presents itself I may do the same with a Butaniku, ruck/ak & 1311 sized blade. The guy holding the camera said he will keep his eyes peeled for other public service opportunities for the near future. In such instance much more powerful swings with a single edged blade on a fresher target can better demonstrate the abilities. The first video was very much a learning curve.
As for the stabbing performance of the gladius, suffice to say it was every bit as effective to use as a poker to pick up the pieces for tossing into a can, but did not really present as a tactful display and was not filmed.

It's awesome to me that you're actually doing a public service twice, by disposing of these poor beasts, and educating people like me as to the superlative capabilities of Busse Combat knives. Thank you very much, I really appreciate your efforts and eagerness to share this kind of events. Well done Tim.

The first cut is the deepest
From an article on Kukri knives in a copy of "Fighting Knives" circa 1989:

"One and done..."

Call your local police station and tell them you will pick up any freshly hit deer that officers have to put down. They will call you to come get it after they shoot them, as long as your state allows for it. We call the "Deer Man" all the time. Usually its some big old redneck that shows up! The deer don't go to waste and it gets them out of the road.
