mrstabby: selfdefensecanes.com has a few as well, You could look up Pgandy on the forum, he had a few threads about canes Jul 26, 2024 8:34:47 GMT
mrstabby: Kind of looks like the "Night Watchman" cane from United Cutlery though, no? Jul 26, 2024 8:31:33 GMT *
mrstabby: It surely is a stunt prop, either plastic or foam (would make it close in weight to a cane so I get the reasoning it would be one). I bet only a handful of people could use a real crowbar like this :D Jul 26, 2024 8:23:54 GMT *
jitte: The consensus is that it is a crowbar but the moment I saw it I thought it was one of those canes. And a crowbar that big is kind of heavy for a skinny girl like Poppy to swing around like that I would think. Although she is athletic. Jul 26, 2024 1:29:16 GMT
mrstabby: The thing in the video looks more like a crowbar to me. If you mean the official video at 0:22 Jul 17, 2024 7:04:58 GMT
jitte: I was shaped something like the Canemasters Teardrop Shaft Walking Cane, but don't think this was it. Jul 17, 2024 6:58:47 GMT
AndiTheBarvarian: Perhaps Cold Steel Steven Seagal Ten Shin? Jul 16, 2024 23:36:59 GMT
jitte: Does anyone remember some company selling a "katana cane" years ago that had a thin edge on the front to strike with? If you check out YouTube for the music video Bloodmoney by Poppy it sure looks like she's using one, to great advantage., Jul 16, 2024 19:24:23 GMT
mrstabby: : Who do you mean? Jul 7, 2024 11:42:02 GMT
creatineboy: I don't understand why people think this guy is a troll.enlighten me so I'll know what to look for? Jul 7, 2024 9:12:15 GMT
eastman: It was discussed yesterday. It is a great loss to the sword community. My condolences to his family and friends. I never bought from him direct, but I am the current owner of a number of other people's custom swords. Jun 30, 2024 14:30:53 GMT
JonSchwertFechter: Im not sure if anyone here has heard the Tragic News Yet-- or if This Is the Appropriate place to write this.- but through Mutual sword friends; I just heard the That the esteemed and skilled Sword maker "Purna Darnal"-known to many here--Just Passed away Jun 30, 2024 9:04:10 GMT
mrstabby: Cured it by screaming! Jun 26, 2024 20:07:42 GMT
AndiTheBarvarian: Did he cure it with athelas or hawk thua? (rofl) Jun 26, 2024 16:43:26 GMT *
txhighlander: Did you know Viggo broke his toe when he kicked the.. Jun 26, 2024 13:12:59 GMT
mrstabby: Did you know, Gene Wilder really stabs himself with the scalpel? Jun 24, 2024 20:00:04 GMT
txhighlander: That's "Fronkensteen". Jun 24, 2024 18:46:58 GMT
AndiTheBarvarian: sbg-sword-forum.forums.net/thread/54497/blucher-sabre-spawns-1811-1939 Jun 23, 2024 8:20:07 GMT
AndiTheBarvarian: A Prussian saber type from 1811 named after a Prussian general who helped win Waterloo. And a joke from the movie Young Frankenstein. Jun 23, 2024 8:18:00 GMT
creatineboy: What's a blücher? Jun 23, 2024 8:14:09 GMT
