Re: What evers handy
Looks like it worked very well to me. I wonder how the news media is gonna spin it to make the swordsman the bad guy in this????
Re: What evers handy
Wow, that old feller put the whammy on those dudes!!!! That hand gives me the willies.......it might be a good reminder what happens when you grab the wrong person!!! Maybe the gun thieves in Tulsa should be shown those photos and tell them this might be their fate.

Re: What evers handy
My "bed knife" is a gladius type short sword...
But I do keep a couple of other swords around too. My katana is pretty cheap, but I've got a pretty decent Zatoichi style walking staff/Nodachi that I used to train with a good bit...

Re: What evers handy
I was at a person's home helping them through an insurance claim a few days ago and noted with interest that , behind the front door he had a small rack with a baseball bat and what looked like a flea market sword in it ---- made me laugh

Re: What evers handy
My bed knife is a katana as well. In my home office I have three Cold Steel Warrior-Series blades. They would do the trick!
Re: What evers handy
Hmm, I had a sword hand made in Toledo. It's sharp as all get out, it hangs in the living room. Well, there's a back weapon for you.

I only have a Marble's jungle bowie machete by my bed.

Re: What evers handy
I think the bad guys should thank their lucky stars it was an ornamental sword, not the real deal. If the victim had been using any of my Cheness or Cold Steel swords there would have been body parts lying everywhere and probably a couple of bodies.
My bed knife is a Cold Steel Natchez Bowie, about the longest, heaviest knife I can effectively use with one hand. My Cheness Katana and Ko-Katana are in the corner with the shotgun. My wife's bedside knife is a Cold Steel Marauder Bowie. I have more than a few other functional swords, knifes, and kukri's scattered about the house.
Even the in-expensive Cold Steel "sword" machete's or kukri's are a very effective weapon, and they don't run out of bullets. Cold Steel swords are hard to beat, but IMHO the 9260 series Cheness swords are the best deal anyone can buy on a true weapon-quality sword. All the above are scary sharp from the factory.
BTW, did I mention I like knifes and swords almost as much as I like guns???

Robert Adams -- author of the Horseclans series of books -- referred to it as a "pillow sword." Mine is a Cold Steel Gladius Machete.

If Captain "Mad Jack" Churchhill was willing to go ashore on Dday with a Broad sword and a Winchester Model 70, then I guess one does what one has to do to put the "fear of God" in the heart of the enemy.

Re: What evers handy
I just love happy endings.
The scumbags also get to live and tell their kids and grandkids that they got their scars when some old grandpappy whooped their butts. That might stop us from getting second and third generation scumbags.

The bladesmith was fellow named Schulps. Sadly he passed away a few years ago. On a bright note, one of his sons is starting to make knives. I saw some yesterday. He's got a way to go, but he did learn well from his dad.Dirty Bob wrote:Jeepnik: I love it! What's the story on that really cool knife?

Here's another and a close up of the art work on the handle.
I have quite a few from him. I liked the bit of fantasy he put into every blade. But these aren't just for show, they are sharp, and hold an edge very well.
