Italian Dueling Saber - Cutting and Stabbing 

Just about any blade from Cold Steel is worth its weight in gold. They make many knives, swords that are high quality but affordable, less than $50. Check out their beater Kukri for about $35. When you have one of those in your hands, you'll buy another for about $150 to $250 even if you have to save money. I have several of them in diff sizes. You just won't believe it. Buy direct, not from Amazon or whoever. Razor sharp AND durable! Truly a SHTF scenario, End of the World, kick ass, monster killer! Trust me.

@@matthewpham9525 - No joke.... I'm a huge fan. I have over 40 blades by them and buy nothing else. 80 other pieces but the blades are incredible! I just bought their Rajah ll in March. Dude.... I'm so impressed. Heavy and heavy duty. Now I have a pocket Kukri.... 🤯

@@redfaux74 No joke... if you don't buy anything else no surprise this seems the best

If the katana was such a wonderful blade, then why didn't a single military adopt it as a weapon of choice for officers / cavalry? They didn't. Because sabers cut ENOUGH. You don't have to sever a leg to mission kill the enemy.

That would be ideal! Great idea

That's where my mind went as well.

Hopefully Cold Steel will make a Dragonslayer

It depends on the circusmtances. There's a reason why heavy sabres existed. They were mounted by cavalry troups, which needed a heavier and longer weapon, because obviously they had to slash into enemies from the horseback. The more heavy weight was an advantage when slashed from a horse. But they did not hold the sabre the same way you would hold a dueling sabre of course. Beeing on the horse required you to hold your weapon differently and the speed of the horse compensated for the force that you would need to swing a heavy sabre. So each weapon has it's own purpose, there's no "best" over the other...that's what most people usually forget.

@brianbabin6333 I own both and the difference is like night and day. The windlass sabre is superior in every way possible. Even down to the authentic peened handle and correctly tempered flex. I love cold steel knives but will NEVER buy another cold steel sword. The only cold steel sword I own that I would recommend as handling like an original is the Filipino war bolo.

@brianbabin6333 the windlass is actually cheaper than the cold steel here in the UK. And I have been fortunate enough to have handled several originals at antique fares and militaria exhibitions. The windlass 1796 us far more authentic and better in every way. But people are more than welcome to buy both to see which one of us is correct.

What do you mean?

@@csknives it looks like he's screaming in pain after the target pokes his eyes

@@JrlomayLOL It's just perspective but it does look like the tatami mat is whacking Lynn in the head.

And what happened to the 7 ball dagger i wanted one forever lol

Of course, very soon in fact.

I own one myself. You wont be disappointed.

@@Patrick2345454 - I've been drooling since they put the demo online.

It will fold, from what I have seen in weight tests liner locks are more tough than frame locks

@@DeathPorky i just watched a great torture test on RU-vid of the smf. If pressure was on the frame lock it was super solid, but no pressure and it opened quite easily. I think I will stick with my recon 1.

It's a dueling saber. Duels were fought without protections, and were usually at the first blood, so you didn't need an heavy blade, and speed was paramount.

Magnum Potent Yes, a thick piece with a wooden dowel in the middle is very close to a leg, but it still doesn’t replace a pork leg or something else that is really flesh and bone.

Looks like the training saber with a different guard

Beautiful! Greetings from ITALY :)

Newbs should probably stick with the Chinese War Sword, or one of the Katanas. Luke and Lynn are experts.

@@csknives Well a newb asking about this sword wouldnt be studying Chinese war swords or Katana my man .. They most likely be studying Angelo or I dont know O Roarke perhaps EROPEAN styles wouldnt they ?

Not very well given the performance shown here.

Bufford Evans Cutting mechanics throughout the world remain the same, it doesn’t really matter where you learn them as long as the amount of hands on the grip is the same.

A shotgun.

@@jkilla9934 Shotgun is a good choice, or a Glock? But in regards to swords we've been talking about this subject the last couple days. In the opinion of our local sword master Luke, it's gotta be the Dragonfly Wakizashi. Not too big and not too heavy but it'll do some serious damage.

@@csknives Yup one of those or a Cold Steel Gurkha Kukri would be my choice in a home defense with a edge weapon.
