drat y'all for reminding me of the Cold Steel products that I unironically want.

Probably the single coolest one is the assegai, the type of short spear that revolutionized warfare for the Zulu.




Cold Steel got 'em for $65.


Here's an amateur video of a guy throwing it up to 35ft in his garage. Seems like a safer alternative to archery if you have a suburban backyard, less likely to go over a fence and hit something, but can still hang out with a few beers chucking it at a padded target.

That's Lynn Thompson, their founder guy. There's a video of him trying to kill some ridiculously dangerous animal with a spear https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKI1xmtf5Ck

That being said cold steel actually makes OK stuff for a low price. I used one of their machetes to do stuff to foliage, it was like 20 bux

I don't care how fat and goony you are, anyone that's willing to throw a spear at a big rear end buffalo from like five feet is a cool dude

these commercials are still loving ridiculous though

no no no no no no, this is just proof that even if you're a person cool enough to spear a buffalo then manage to shoot it dead with a .454 immediately because it charged you, you can totally ruin it by being goony as poo poo

Danger has a way of presenting itself when you least expect it. That’s why Gerber, in collaboration with law enforcement professionals, developed the Impromptu Tactical Pen. Sure, it’s a pen and it’ll serve to take notes like a good pen should, but it’s not your average writing implement. Made from machined steel with a tempered window-shattering tip design, the Impromptu Tactical Pen can be used to break a windshield or defend yourself from an unexpected attack.

Yours for the low price of $62!

simple models cost around $500, the more detailed ones are obviously more expensive around a few thousand a piece.

If you want a tactical self-defence pen in case you're being mugged while filling out forms or whatever just buy the $7 version off DX.com. I'm sure it does the job just as well, that job being providing pocket-sized proof you're a douche.

Y'all are talking about TACTICAL pens, but didn't notice the Cold Steel Sharkie?




It's a tactical sharpie:

quote:

Superficially, it shares many features common to most markers, but appearances can be deceptive. For starters, it's made from high impact plastic and features walls that are 4 times thicker than similar markers. This means it's built for impact and will survive the meanest blows and roughest treatment imaginable and still function like new. Drop it, smash it, roll over it with a car, and it will bounce back.

Here's a guy in a karate outfit smashing boards with their sharpie, and he's not the only guy posting videos of smashing stuff with this product: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRlfAwfNWAA


EDIT: Huh, they changed the name to "Pocket Shark" and photo-negatived the colors. Looks like somebody got hit with a lawsuit threat!

I don't know about chopping a hanging rope or slicing a watermelon at 10 paces but I've used an everyday garden shovel to chop the head off of a giant loving snake that crawled into my parents' backyard from the drainage area behind their house and I'm thinking I could probably be just as lethal with the one I used for that as the tactical shovel against a pig tied to a post or a person standing completely still and not reacting at all to me walking up and smashing him in the dome
