Saw the pics and thought they didn’t appear that impressive. Then I read it was an elderly man and a decorative sword. Thugs are lucky it wasn’t a real katana and a stronger home owner.
You are standing 10 feet from an opening outside in a field. You are both wearing T shirts. He has a holstered Glock. You can have any weapon you want. What do you choose?
This is my choice. http://www.kultofathena.com/product.asp?item=IP0222&name=Legacy+Arms+Roman+Pompeii+Gladius
All advise welcome I’m not really informed enough to make good choice. Maybe one of our members could start a sticky on battle ready swords for defense. Some of us are required to travel in hostile territory and a sword in our hotel room or car may save our family’s bacon.
a heavy ended but kinda square style machete used to trim coconut trees a lot
cane knife or banana knife also look kinda like a corn knife that I googled unless you mean something else
not much corn in the islands hahahahahaha
when I lived in Honduras watching some of the folks use the machete though doing gardening etc… freaking sharp and good with those things
micasa ? have to google it again but those had some nice steel for the more traditional looking machete
but the heavy end style seems like it could do a ton of damage with a hard swing as in lop off limbs I would think
