I somehow missed Skallagrim's review of the movie sword (saber) duel from The Deluge when it appeared several months ago. As you might remember, I am quite taken by this duel, both the book and movie, and agree with Skallagrim's assessment(s). Aside from being a darn fine movie duel, it's about as faithful to the book as one could hope. One deference I'll point out. The colonel's opponent in the book is a better swordsman than portrayed here. Book or film he's simply far outclassed by the smaller man, who toys with him throughout with no intent to kill. For those who have forgotten my posting of the entire duel, here it is.

Don't have the camera now but it's this one.Feels like it's made for both thrusting and stabbing and it has a thing on the back for easily attaching it to a belt without taking the belt off. You can wear it like those SWAT teams where they have the knife upsidedown on their chest.

Yeah, nothing really protrudes so it's a slim design for sure. Definitely one of the best ones I could have gotten You probably would have liked the Cold Steel Kobun Khajiit bought earlier this year. It was of a similar size but shaped like a tanto.

QUOTE(mirocu @ Nov 26 2019, 12:15 PM) Just DuckDuckGo'd it. Well, I'm sure it's very well made and all but if it's gonna be tanto shaped I kinda want it tanto length too. What's Khajiit's opinion of it, having held it in his paws? I still btw have my eyes on Cold Steel's katana but I can't seem to actually get it for some reason Khajiit made a post about it in this very thread near the top of the previous page. It feels good! This one did put a crude paracord shell wrap on it to kind of beef up the handle a bit.

Yeah, I remember now. I must say it looks way better than that image I looked up. I also very much like the sheathe; looks tactic! Edit: I just did it *cold sweats* This post has been edited by mirocu: Nov 26 2019, 07:36 PM

Edit: I just did it *cold sweats* Before I ordered it I was researching some video reviews for it and found a vid of a guy using one as a bush knife. I must say it performed really good for something not really intended for that kind of work.

Finally, amirite? I sat here, thinking about how I hesitated getting this brand new, totally awesome katana that comes as close as it can to the real thing but I could shill out TWICE as much money on an antique gun without thinking about it? Plus I've looked at it for years and I was tired not getting it Edit: What's a saya? This post has been edited by mirocu: Nov 26 2019, 08:54 PM
