The Wedge War Club And Survival Multi-Tool Demo 

Not to brag but since you have graciously granted me the opportunity..., I hit that watermelon on the 4th throw! The first 3 throws were very close misses. I had purchased 2 watermelons and the first one rolled off the target before I could throw at it, so I had no choice but to skewer that second one straight away...; which I promptly did! Very fun video to film! Benjamin Scott Throwsticks.com

@@Throwsticks my ration of hit to miss is nowhere near that good- 10-12 misses to 1 hit!!

@@Throwsticks Yes, good throwing. And very tough wood! Also, I like the "Buster Scruggs" style posing and twirling like at 0:40 before you take out Mr. Melon Head. It adds a comical element.

@@jackwoods535 Absolutely! That's when it gets spectacular! Benjamin Scott Throwsticks.com

Yeah we tried our best to get it ready in time! Benjamin Scott Throwsticks.com

@@Throwsticks hey out of curiosity, and because I like to write short stories. How well would a multi purpose design work in wood or cast aluminum

@@magicbeetle2292 Wood works great although it's fragile compared to this. Obviously it was used historically. You want the heaviest, hardest, toughest hardwood you can find. Stuff like ironwood, black wattle, boxwood, etc.... Some have successfully made aluminum throwsticks but the edges get dinged up and will cut the hands. Also, they may warp on an impact and not fly afterwards. Thicker material which is more rigid are thus much better. Benjamin Scott Throwsticks.com

Так из чего же он слелан, если не секрет. Из какого материала?

@@user-jx1ji9dm6o поликарбонат, судя по их ответам в других комментариях под этим видео

LOL, thanks. Yeah, I'd prefer this to a huge knife in any fight. One kills you slowly, the other shatters your bones!

@@Throwsticks LOL, exactly

Yeah ya do, if they run out of ammo and come at you.

Yes, the war club is a powerful tool!! Benjamin Scott Throwsticks.com

Thank-you! We manufacture these from high impact, opaque black polycarbonate. The material is extremely tough and beautiful once finished. Each piece is hand carved to shape, not cast. Everything is made in the USA in our famiily fun shop. Thanks for your question. Benjamin Scott - www.Throwsticks.com

Thanks for the compliment, I appreciate it. It's a challenge to fill all roles in my business but that's what small business is about. Obviously it was born out of my love for these ancient survival tools. It is on my to do list to make a much better demo video for our rabbit stick model, as its performance is much better than we demonstrate in the video we made for it in late 2016. Perhaps we could throw at a pumpkin or something with it. Throwsticks need to be thrown horizontally in order to produce proper lift and flight cycle so throwers adapt to that. Some models go in excess of 120 meter flight range! I hope you will enjoy our channel and check out the other videos if you haven't yet. Thanks for your kind comments. Benjamin Scott Throwsticks.com

Thanks. They have an easy flow to them and break through what they hit! Benjamin Scott Throwsticks.com

Инфантино американский. Из дурки сбежал.

Thanks. Yes, I'm also a huge tomahawk fan myself and have a small collection. This has some of the same aspects with fighting. Both are very practical tools in the field. Benjamin Scott Throwsticks.com

@@Throwsticks they are also very similar in being a small weapon craftsman company specialising in local designs with inside knowledge,there at Wingard Wearables. Makes me think that i should maybe create one too. Once i get the forge going.

@@junichiroyamashita Do it! I think there's room on the market for a traditional looking pipe hawk in a lighter weight than the modern ones, like the ones from history. About 12-13 ounces max on the head weight. I'd be interested. I've talked Zach Wingaard when he was starting out. Great guy. The Wedge is under 13 ounces and feels fantastically balanced between speed and power. I don't like feeling too slow to the move. Benjamin Scott Throwsticks.com

There's an EDC tomahawk!?

@@bozzskaggs112 yeah,Wingard Wearables

Thanks for the kind word. Benjamin Scott Throwsticks.com

I'll do my best! That rock witnessed half a decade of flights past its face as I slowly learned to make and tune these things, starting around 2012. Little did it know it would become a star player later on. It's fun to film again in the birth place of this business . Glad you're enjoying the Stinger. Another awesome stick! Benjamin Scott Throwsticks.com

Thank-you! I agree. I'm impressed with these as well. They are really elegant and powerful! Benjamin Scott Throwsticks.com

We've actually done experiments in steel. There's a whole lot to say about that since it's possible to do steel if thrown at super human velocities like out of a rail gun. There is a subsonic long ranged weapon utility there. The Wedge weighs about 12 ounces and it's tough to keep steel light enough to fly as well as issues with chipping and dinging into jagged results in ugly environments. Even the Aboriginals carried stone and later steel hatchets. Used them to make these among other purposes. Benjamin Scott www.Throwsticks.com

Tungsten infused edge or carbon steel would be pretty devastating.

Thanks. Benjamin Scott www.Throwsticks.com

You've come to the right place if you are interested in something straight flying which can be used for hunting. One of our models does about 120 meters straight out! For returning boomerangs I recommend my friend James Hoy of Boomerangs UK. We specialize in the hunting stuff! Benjamin Scott www.Throwsticks.com

@@Throwsticks Thanks very much for the reply Benjamin, this one is just too good a combination tool to ignore, I did go and check out your website and watch some demo vids 👍👍👍

Thanks, I appreciate it! Shad's video was super fun! Benjamin Scott Throwsticks.com

Yes, this material is pretty amazing. Benjamin Scott Throwsticks.com

Same here! Got a stinger too and I'm hard pressed to determine which one I like better! Nowhere near as good as Ben or Wozza but man do they fly!

Thanks. That video was fun to make. Ben Throwsticks.com

Thank-you. Have you seen our Central Desert Hunter video? We throw over 120 meters straight out!! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dNBSFocmXlU.html Benjamin Scott Throwsticks.com

"new"

Thanks mate. I appreciate the compliment. This model is particularly easy to be accurate with for me, but I throw a lot of sticks every week for my business and it's a great skill to enjoy! Benjamin Scott Throwsticks.com

Glad to hear. I was a skeptic about adding a Lil Lil based design to my lineup until I started doing the experiments with them. They impressed me beyond my expectations and now the Wedge is among my favorite two personal sticks. It packs quite a punch!! Benjamin Scott Throwsticks.com

Thanks, I'm glad you like like mate. Benjamin Scott Throwsticks.com

LOL. Thanks. Yeah I have to stay in really good shape for this business with some products qualifying at 110 meters minimum flight ranges before we will sell them. The Wedge makes this look easy. Packs a punch. Benjamin Scott Throwsticks.com

Awesome! We are tuning a batch tomorrow and will be ready for you. Benjamin Scott Throwsticks.com

@@Throwsticks do you think it’d be possible to take down a deer with a Karli or would the wedge be a better choice for that?

@@Throwsticks sorry guys something came up but I’m able to get one next week just a heads up!

@@thedestroyer4097 You're good man. We'll be ready for you. Benjamin Scott Throwsticks.com

@@thedestroyer4097 Only in a survival situation, as it is cruel to take deer on leg breaks, but the best choice would be the Central Desert Hunter or Whale's Tail. The others would probably work too, but you want your odds as high as possible for these larger animals.

Thank-you for your comments. Would you believe this is a shorter ranged model. Check out our 120+ meter throws straight and level at ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dNBSFocmXlU.html Benjamin Scott - www.Throwsticks.com

Thank-you, one of my favorite movies so I'll take that as a compliment. Benjamin Scott www.Throwsticks.com

Thank you for the compliment but don't give up, just find specifically what you really love and then do it with all your might. It doesn't matter who's best at it so disregard that, but only to pursue what you love is important. I did this and now I own a popular niche business doing what I love and am considered best in the world in my field. It took years of work but that's what passion brings in time.

Thank you. We hit that watermelon on the 4th throw but the first 3 throws were narrow misses.... Benjamin Scott Throwsticks.com

You'll really like it. I've got a Stinger and a War Club and the only bad thing about them is that I can't throw them as good as Ben.

WOW! Just got done testing it. Fits on my pack perfect.

@@elguapo2831 Excellent to hear and thanks for the compliments. You're welcome. It is nice to have my handi-work enjoyed. Each piece is carved by hand. Ben

@@Throwsticks You have revitalized a dying art while activating something primal. This wedge feels so good and wants to fly. I bet it's cool throwing a left and right handed one's at the same time. I wonder what an Aboriginal throwing stick war would have looked like.

@@elguapo2831 There was an ancient skull found in Australia which has a 6 " slot broken into the front of the face as cause of fatality. The researchers theorize it was caused by the "Aboriginal Lil Lil" which is the main inspiration between the Wedge. Brutal!

Thanks. Yes so much of its effectiveness is in it's anciently discovered balance and shape, as odd as it seems. The angles distribute the shock of impacts in ways which don't particularly hurt, despite the edges of the handle. They also allow for beautiful long ranged throws! Benjamin Scott Throwsticks.com

@@Throwsticks , very well summarised. You are doing an incredible good job and I wish you all the best.

Trust me, I was thinking of this quote the entire time I made the video. I wanted to make sure I went above and beyond to compensate for that. I couldn't find any live volunteers....

An absolute pleasure to watch. It’s the first time I’ve seen a stick/club throw executed with such devastating impact and accuracy.

@@pedromiguel3227 I appreciate it. This design is particularly easy to throw accurately due to the balance. I hit the watermelon on the third or fourth attempt and the rabbits straight away.

It demonstrates ranges of 120+ meters. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dNBSFocmXlU.html Ben

@@Throwsticks I promise I’m not trying to rope you into a “lonely RU-vid watcher needs a friend” conversation, but… I collect antique weapons and feel a connection to that old energy. I don’t have anything “primitive” but it’s fascinating to imagine what they could do in the hands of an expert. I once carved a modified Kaigata Suburito (Oar Shaped) bokken from a nice piece of camellia wood. I was inspired by the famous battle where Miyamoto Musashi killed the famous swordsman Sasaki Kojiro with a wooden sword (hastily carved from a wooden oar). Anyway… I think it’s awesome that you’re rediscovering these survival tools, and honing these skills to share with curious people like me. I wish there were more people practicing exploratory archaic weapons anthropology. My wife and kids think I’m peculiar, but that’s alright. My next project will be an Iroquois ball-headed war club.

@@pedromiguel3227 You're good, mate. Thanks for sharing your story. You're a part of the tribe and I feel the same way. These things are in our ancient, primal blood and some of us know it inside. Some of the artifacts I've handed have wood so hard it feels and weighs like stone. It's the reason our shoulders are wide. At least it was for a very long time in history. I hope you enjoy the ball headed war club project! Benjamin Scott Throwsticks.com

Thanks. These are made from high impact opaque black polycarbonate. When finished they look a lot like hardwood but are extremely durable by comparison. Iron Birch would be great for something more organic.... Benjamin Scott www.Throwsticks.com

Thank-you. I throw a lot! Benjamin Scott Throwsticks.com

It does have a similar look to this but it is based in Australian inspiration from New South Wales in particular where the shape was higly refined and they actually fly. Google "Aboriginal Lil Lil" in an image search and you will see what I am describing. There are clubs in India and Fiji (the sali I believe it's called) as well as elsewhere, I am sure, which follow this similar pattern. The design has a unique balance which removes the shock of impacts from the hand on the leading edge and flows very naturally from the hand when thrown. Very nice balance! Benjamin Scott Throwsticks.com

@@Throwsticks thank you for that info!

@@jerrydonquixote5927 My pleasure. I started reading Don Quixote recently. What a great novel to start the modern age! Anyone who beats wooden dummies with sticks has to do some soul searching, right? LOL. Thanks for your comments.

Falls into the general class. Technically it's a Lil Lil, which is a war club from SE Australia. Very similar in profile to clubs in Fiji and N. American Gunstock warclubs. Benjamin Scott Throwsticks.com

Nutsack cracker 😬

😳😯😱🤯

Thanks. Ben www.Throwsticks.com

Thanks for following us. We really love what we're doing and finding people of like mind. The WWC is approx. 583mm/23" x 350g/12.4oz It's a very hard hitting little package and we recommend it as a multi-tool which has both short range hunting and fighting capabilities. Benjamin Scott Throwsticks.com

@@Throwsticks Ok thanks! One more question, will there be more options for southpaws in the future?😁

@@Bonde334 We can custom make most of our lineup in southpaw upon request, with the exception of the Wirlki and Central Desert Hunter, which are too difficult to do. We do a lot of left handed Karli models and keep them in stock. They perform very well. We stock left handed Wedges and the Stinger is an ambi stick, as is. Ben

Thanks. You must've seen my other videos. Benjamin Scott Throwsticks.com

Yes it is similar to that in form, isn't it? This basic form is found in India, Fiji, America, Australia and probably elsewhere as well. It's only in Australia that it was designed to also fly as this one does. Google "Aboriginal Lil Lil" and you'll see the Australian forms. The ball head wc is a beast! Also a fan! Benjamin Scott Throwsticks.com

I'm not positive, but I think that the "rabbit leg" war club design actually predates European contact. The fact that it resembles a stock is coincidental. I didn't double check, but that's what I have been told, so I could be wrong. The boat paddle club is also impressive. Thanks for bringing that up. I used to be really interested in war clubs. I may have to geek out on some research before I go to sleep.

@@letsdothis9063 Yeah let me know what you find. Did you see the Fiji Sali? It has a protrusion like a hammer on the gun stock portion. I can tell you from experience that these are just damn good weapons in terms of balance and feel. The balance runs through the wrist. I really have always wondered whether the shape was coincidental or not.
