Cutting Edge Weapons: 10 Unusual Knives, Swords and Blades

Posted by Queuebot in Weapons & War on June 8, 2009 at 7:30 pm

Whether we like it or not, weapons play a pivotal role in human history. Most of them are simple and ruthlessly practical, whereas others evolved to become highly ornate, to the point that they could no longer be used as actual weapons but as ceremonial pieces instead.

Socyberty has an interesting post about the 10 most unusual blades (including knives and swords) from around the world. Take, for example, the katar shown to the left:

The Katar, shown in the introduction, is a short punching sword from India. The hand fitted into the grip so that the blade was above the knuckles. It was a weapon used by the Rajput, referred to as “the most valiant warriors of the Indian sub continent.”

Used in close combat the blades were said to be able to punch through armour.

VideoSift Clips of the Week

Posted by Alex in VideoSift on April 10, 2009 at 12:37 pm

Why Canada Is So Dangerous
... because everyone in the land of Canadia, our neighbor to the north, carries knives and swords! Sure makes you long for the safety of the gun-totin' crowds back here in the good ol' US of A!

Link (strong language)

(From a comment on VideoSift, this appears to be from a 80s law enforcement training video "Surviving Edged Weapons")

Qui-Gon, Worst Jedi Ever?
Who's the worst Jedi in Star Wars ever? Here's a case for nominating Qui-Gon Jinn for the dubious title.

After watching the clip, I must agree: Link

World's BEST Fan-Made Music Video
Quick, somebody call Simon Cowell - the next Spice Girls have just been discovered! These three English girls got the right stuff.

Watch it and weep: Link

When Lightnings Strike!
Here's a collection of lightning striking at close range - the people's reactions are predictable (mucho swearing and running away), but the clips are endlessly fascinating.

Do yourself a favor, skip the stupid intro and fast foward to 1:00: Link (strong language)

Blanket-napper Dog
Let's end this week's VideoSift round-up with something cute: a dog stealing a cat's blanket.

Why, my wife does the same thing to me every night :)

What is it? Game 88

Posted by Alex in Weapons & War, What Is It on January 15, 2009 at 7:50 am

W00t! (or better yet, Yikes!) Our weekly collaboration with the What is it? Blog brings us this scary looking thing. Yes, it’s a dagger, but can you guess what it is specifically for?

Place your guess in the comment section. No prize this week, so you’re playing for fame and glory. Please don’t post any URL, let others play.

For more clues, check out the What is it? Blog. Good luck!

Update 1/17/09 – the answer is: A katar dagger from India, a type of short punching sword used to pierce armor in hand to hand combat.

Congratulations to Kit Cloud who got it right off the bat. Must’ve been too easy for you guys!
