Yet more crazy stuff coming to me


So I received my order from Cold Steel a few days ago, and it's AWESOME. No seriously, I had no idea, but the head of the halberd is as big as my chest. Yeah, I can see how this could be used to take down armored cavalry. The poleaxe is equally impressive. The Sjambok is actually very flexible, almost like a whip. I expected it to be more stiff like a rod. Anyway, my five year old nephew saw it and he wanted it. Since it's basically made of plastic (a nearly unbreakable kind), my father told me to give it to him and he'd pay me for it. Whatever, I didn't want the cash, but I did take the opportunity place another order to Cold Steel's Special Projects; - Light Machete, $6.99 - 54" Brown Sjambok, $14.99 (I got the longer one!) - Assegai (w/ long shaft), $44.99 - Kopis Machete, $24.99 The first two items were on closeout, so that's why they're so incredibly cheap. The other two I just kinda wanted. The assegai is an African spear, and I figure if I'm going to have a halberd and an poleaxe on display, I might as well have a spear to go along with them. The kopis is a new item, and I always liked the distinctive shape of the blade (looks mean); plus all the Spartans used them in the movie 300, which isn't really historically accurate (the xiphos would have been much more common). OK, so it's a cheap machete, but I didn't want to spend a lot anyway. Oh yeah, my father bought two Honey Combs for himself and my mother. Had to order those separate from the Texas office because of California laws. Oh well, he paid for those, not me.
