Today while chopping pine branches up with my new Zulu...

I injured my finger and thankfully I reacted well, and treated it. I thought I could see my bone at first maybe it is exposed.... anyways I was slicing/chopping up a thick pine branch with my "zulu spear" I just made (a little before I bruised my hand and bent up my new cutlass I made with a really bad hit) So I moved on to the spear and chopped a branch, but it and shrapnel from the hit impaled and took a lot of skin off of the joint. Just thought it was post worthy.

 

Yeah thanks. Update: I actually hit it with my hand and got splinters at the same time took me a minute to figure that one out. Thankfully on my Father's side they have a really weird bone density which most likely saved my finger from breaking the way I hit the joint. And from all the weird things I've done that I could have broken bones doing I have never broken anything but a pinky toe or 2... (or 3 times I have really bad luck with my pinky toes)

 

It wasn't the weapons fault. It was the wood's. I practically punched it.

 

It was more of inexperience than the need of gloves, I also hit a bit of a curve in the wood while trying a new slashing technique that is only possible with weapons like the Zulu spear. And thanks guys.

 

I was just jabbing at a plank. And I felt like doing something stupid so I slashed at it... You're taking this too far Mr. Shultz. And It's really just using the length as an advantage and I had my hand too close to the impact point.

 

I never said it was new. Just new to me. And I would probably just throw it at a zombie in my yard if anything ever happened and forget about it. I kind of stopped caring about the thing. It was just an expiriment. But sure I'll get some video of me with it. If I can find my camera.

 

Zombie preparedness is more of a friends and I hobby. And it's just an example. Hmmm, the Axe is a great weapon no doubt, but a swordsman with great skill will kill before. Have you seen Mr Thompson's technique with 2 bowies against a tomahawk!? He goes ape and stops the attack before they can even get to him. The Axe segment of conquest in my opinion was biased and didn't give the other weapons a REAL chance. Though it had a good point and I learned from it nonetheless. That's a flaw of people, we are biased.

 

Drach, no offence, but if you have trouble with english... I wonder if google translate could help?

 

I've already commented on them... They were great learning pieces, though conquest is always a little biased... But a great learning experience nonetheless.
