Freeway Frank from United States, CA Public Profile

Made in Pakistan from surgical steel, this cleaver
is beautifully wrought. Sharp right out of the box,
the handle is made the old fashioned way with
compressed rings of multi-colored leather and
finished off with a piece of enlarged, smoothed bone
or antler that ensures a good grip and serves as an
excellent pommel. There is a brass finger guard that
prevents the hand from slipping forward onto the blade
and a hole at the top of the blade to assist in
removing a blade that gets stuck in a bone. It is inexpensive
and of course I ordered two, on for each hand.
Comes with a nice belt sheath. I guess one could
actually use it for chopping food items, but I will keep them
nearby for close range self defense.

Confront an angry dog or gang of knuckleheads
with this short but heavy spiked mace. The sight
of it in your well muscled arm will make their blood
run cold. Spikes are sharp, strong and plentiful; well
attached; with an additional spike on the end for jabbing.
The handle could have been improved by
cord wrapping or an enlarged knob/pommel. As it is
I would drill a hole and put a tether of leather to improve
the grip. This thing was made for bashing. Walk softly
and carry a big stick.

The term Torpedo Knife is a misnomer. Actually it is a double-sided
cylindrical spike. Very well manufactured and strong.
Extremely sharp and with the weight of the metal, this is not appropriate
for beginners. It comes with plastic tubing to guard each point and I suggest
that you leave them on until you are very familiar handling it. Caution! You do
not want to drop this on your foot! Wear heavy combat boots when manipulating.
My experience with this shape of weapon is that they can bounce in unexpected
directions if dropped so mind your surroundings at all times. Don't get me wrong,
I LOVE this item. I ordered two, one for each hand. I would suggest to the manufacturer.
to improve the grip of the central core by scoring the metal or providing a rubber slip-on
sheath. There is no scabbard or way of carrying it at this time.
I recommend the Torpedo Knife highly to experienced wielders of swords and blades.

Made from a composite material. Very light and extremely sharp.
Can be gripped either direction. Of course you will want to buy two,
one for each hand. A ninja style weapon with non-reflecting surface
that aids in concealment. Excellent for short range self defense. The
grip is secure, and with either the index or pinky finger through the tang hole,
this knife is not leaving your hand. I hope they make a sheath for it someday.
It cannot be simply carried in your pocket. Would love to see a double-bladed
version of this shaped like a crescent moon. I recommend it without reservation.

This is a very fine blade. Naturally I ordered two of them, one for each hand.
It comes sharp out of the box, the serrated edge cutting quickly with the short
stroke of a small weapon. Very well manufactured and it comes with a handy
plastic sheath that hangs around the neck for concealment. Excellent for short
range self defense or cutting seat belts, etc. It can be held either way. I prefer
holding the point down which encourages the upward cutting slash movement.
If one puts the fingers through the tang holes, it would be difficult to drop the knife
or have it knocked from your grasp. Reminds me of the weapon preferred by the sci-fi
character "Riddick". It would be great to have another blade on the other side, giving
one a double-sided crescent shaped weapon. I recommend it without reservation.

Every warrior needs a close range weapon, and a sword bearer needs
this dagger. With this strapped to my belt, I would feel very protected if
perchance my Great Sword should fall from my grasp, or if the space is confined
and would limit a larger blade. This dagger is very well built, sharpened on both sides
right from the box, and comes with an excellent leather bound scabbard.
The handle grips securely and has a protective hilt. It is a very comfortable weight and
would be a great choice for a first sword or for a smaller person who is beginning their training.
I recommend it without reservation.

It is the greatest and biggest sword I own. Even though I have studied martial arts
and had weapons training, I have no intention of weilding a blade against a living
being. The main purpose is to exercise the hands, wrists, forearms, arms, shoulders
and chest. This sword is meant to be used with both hands and probably from a horse
back in the day. If you are strong and fit try it with one hand. Swing it carefully and watch
out for your feet! It is expertly wrought and extremely sharp on both sides right out of the box.
The handle is massive and feels very secure. Beyond the large hilt is a smaller secondary hilt.
The blade between them is unsharpened and coated with a rubbery substance which allows
the bearer to grip the sword there for extra support during use. It doesn't come with a scabbard
but I will seek to have one fitted for it. I display the sword hanging with hooks in the wall.
It draws lots of comments from my guests, and perhaps a little fear
and respect. There is no hiding my obsession with this blade in hand. It was a thrill
to remove it from the box and realized what I had purchased.
