Awsome and very informative review . I handle this weapon quite a few time but it feels so strange to me and I doubt my ability to defeat Magua with this club but after watching your video it kind of give me inspriation (and good excuse to get one ) ;D I appreciate that, Thana. If you pick one up let us know how you like it. I think Shadow's planning on getting one as well, and judging by his earlier statements, I hope no kid comes to his house this Halloween dressed like Magua.

Seeing this beast in action (the warclub, not Avery), I'm considering trying out the C.S. Indian Warclub. Only two preblems ; how do I wield this curved thing, and what will my neighbors think when they see crushed water bottles flying around .... What if one of these hits a stray cat or passerby .... I'd better watch out for collateral damage I guess.

Given that a coconut is quite a bit harder than a human head, I think it'd be a neat test. As for the neighbors, I'd pretty much bet that they wouldn't bother you, since you hack, slash and now crush stuff in your backyard. If they do, just do what I do. Look at them, start blowing snot out of your nose, growl at them and charge. ( clothing optional)

I have a neighbor who saw me cutting in my backyard on the first day he moved in. I waved and said hi... and he just kinda walked away. He avoids me a bit now... and its been 8 months or so. He is Army, has guns, hunts... but still he is a bit unsure of me and does not approach because of my cutting habits. Weird.

This is why I am fortunate in having no real neighbors who ever have a chance of seeing me do anything sword related.

Actually, like M., I don't have any neighbors to worry about..ahhhh, I love living in the country.

I prefer rural areas to urban areas. The scenery is wonderful, and the privacy is perfect.

Sidenote: I was at MRL's showroom/wherehouse today and got to handle their gunstock warclub. It was tiny, flimsy, and felt like it would generate NO power and break apart on impact with the first thing you hit. In other words, a total POS.

Kinda funny to have a sidenote about a warclub..... but given the current posts, I can see why. Yeah that MRL one never impressed me. People I konw complained about it breaking in the first or second impact. Mostly for show, I think. Shadow, I may have asked you this already, but do you have a target? No real reason for asking, just curious.

No real reason for asking, just curious. That does not surprise me... I could tell just holding the MRL Warclub in my hands it would explode on impact if throw with anything near the force you tossed the Cold Steel one into that target with. I don't have a target right now... I don't have much to throw at the moment. I've abused my wood fence a bit tho. I have that Hanwei Mermmen Viking Axe which, as I said, did not impress me even tho its cool looking... and I have a couple crappy throwing knives... but I don't have and good knives or 'Hawks right now... hope to fix that in the future.

Wow, I hadn't imagined that this thing would be so COOL! I want one, mostly so I can modify it aesthetically.

Dammit! I got the money, had some designs laid out, and I can even buy it from a local place. However...the evil step father refuses to let me buy it Sorry guys, I'll see if my immense powers of persuasion can be utilized to my advantage.

Buy it on your own and just hide it under the bed. They probably don't check there anyway.

Even though I would probably break the rules at your age Musical, I won't advocate disobeying parental authority...... me being upstanding and all You could always try bartering with him, agree to take out the trash for month or something like that if he lets you buy it. Just out of curiousity, why is it he won't let you buy it, is he just an anti-weapon kinda fellow?

Military dad, has me mow the lawn while he flips my room over, thus far he's been disappointed, and it's not fun disapointing him, under my bed would be the worst possible place....it might have to be hidden under a friend's bed. And then, if he found it, he'd accuse me (rightfully so) of being sneaky, and I'd be in a crap load of trouble, as in months of non stop supervision...he's done it before...when I lied about having washed my hair in the shower...when I was ten...

Military or no, you're still an individual deserving of rights. 'Course the only person who can demand these rights is you. Being 14 sucks. You're old enough to realize whats being done, but too young to do anything about it..... or so they say. Stand up.

Somehow, it sounds like you probably don't own a cat in that house either. The typical macho man with psychological insecurities. Lol. Hey, we've all seen american beauty.

My dad is complicated, he likes cats very much, and is funny, is a good cook, and has certain things that he hates, like the possibility of people becoming fat, hence the month long grounding when he discovered coco puffs in my room. He's also NOT macho, he's tall though. 6 foot 5, and 195 lbs. Its best not to fight it, I'm only four years away
