Testing a Valiant Armory Malatesta 

Didn't have a lot of targets for test cutting out at the ranch, but I have a 40 gallon plastic barrel to test this sword's stabbing ability.
Yes, I should have said "thrust" instead of "stab." We'd just spent all day afield hunting hogs, so my brain wasn't running on all 8 cylinders. Oh, and if you're wondering, the hog hunting is why I'm wearing cammo and have a 1911 strapped to my hip.
Also, Sonny Suttles from Valiant Armory has since corrected me on how to properly hang the sword from the three point suspension system. The end of the end of the belt buckles to the top buckle on the scabbard after one has buckled the belt around one's waist while the two straps from the hanger attach to the lower two buckles on the scabbard.
