Consider the following points: 1) I am lead to believe that the cavalry officers often left their sabres blunt - something to do with the blade not getting stuck in the target while the horse is moving at 50 MPH in the opposite direction 2) Consider the difficulty in placing a cut at a running target off an even-faster-runnig horse. The target is going to be head and shoulders if attacking a running infantry man (I believe that cavalry-to-cavalry fights were rare, the cavalry units being used to rollup the infantry caught in a line instead of a square or retreating in disarray). Unless neck is hit just right there may not be that many vital points hit by the slash. I understand one of the most frequently used cuts was a reverse cut to the running man's face - disabling physically and psychologically but not necessarily fatal. 3) Consider even greater difficulty in using a thrust off a charging horse - weapon retention must have been a problem. If succesful, the force behind the thrust must have been devastating. Furthermore, does the blade come out the same way it went in off a charging horse? I wonder if one ended up with a sort of combination wound of a thrust and a a big gash as the blade gets levered out.

We always scanned for bulges for weapons. Interesting. I look at people's hands too; my anecdotal conclusion is that people with wear and tear on the first and middle knuckles tend to be martial arts types, while those showing wear across all four knuckles are often brawlers. Think you can tell a lot by the way someone moves in a public place; another "tell" is how aware someone is of what's happening behind them. In bars and such I always note who keeps their back covered, it helps separate the hard cases from the wannabes. Anyone else have any "tells" they've picked up on? Tito Deveyra wrote: > Ok.

Stats are interesting things. I heard the other day a statistical study has established that if your parents don't have children, you won't either. Go figure.

Heh heh. Competed in local practical pistol matches with my pet Gold Cup for several years. Recently picked up on a Glock 21, it annoys me that it hits as well as my Colt. Think it has to do with that looooong trigger pull: I know right where my 1911 is gonna break and probably anticipate recoil; with the 21 I fall asleep waiting for the hammer to fall and bang, another one goes through the ten ring. Again, go figure. Writing about Tactical Knives magazine, Tuhon Bill states: > Two more articles really caught my eye. One was on bolos, barongs and > goloks > made by the Valiant Knife Company.

Any ideas how I could check 'em out? Finally, anyone have any recommendations for custom Kydex sheath work? I recently picked up on a short scimitar type blade called a Vorpal Maringer. It was made by the now defunct Blackjack knife company and I don't want to store the sword in its leather sheath; I'm hoping someone out there has already made a Kydex sheath for the same blade that I could pick up on.
