No picture of sword that did that damage? Know it’s tulwar but would still like to see it as a reference. Impressive damage.

Pffft. So what? I always cut my ribs with a sword before cooking. My neighbors are used to hearing "heeeejahhh! (whack)" and "shiiiiijak! (wack)", especially in the summer.
Now impress me with those ribs slow cooked with a nice apple cider vinegar based BBQ sauce...mmmmmm...yeah....!

Thanks. Never handled one. Looks like a pretty beefy blade.

I'm really interested in picking up one of those tulwars at some point. I do wish the blade had a bit more curve though.

Very interesting. Interested in the tatami cutting.
Good cutting on the ribs and cloth.

Well now, this sword seems to be a marked improvement over their original model.

This Talwar intrigues me. Wonder if anyone has handled it and the CS 1796 and wonder how big the Talwars different characteristics (shorter blade & POB, more distal taper) made handling wise?

No offense intended, Brother Nathaniel, but does your religious order know you are using, shall we say, a "heathen" weapon? Does a good Brother of the faith use such a thing? And does this have anything to do with your use of monsters to terrorize the good village folk? Asking for a friend.

You might have already answered this, but is that a factory edge on the sword, or did you touch it up?

Ok. I'm satisfied with my investigation into your behavior. I asked you if you were up to no good and you said "no". That's good enough for me. Nothing to see here...

Well, you need light to read by, and it's expected a monk to be in seclusion. Nothing suspicious at all happening here.

I recently sold my CS 1796 to a forum member so I had both at the same time. The talwar handles noticeably better. This is also a function of the grip being a bit shorter and "locking" your hand in. Realizing it isn't a thruster by nature, can it still thrust any good? Better, same, worse than 1796 (different grip being part of equation)?

Honestly, I haven't really tried any thrusting tests with it. I would say the limiting factor in the ease of thrusting would be purely the handle/grip. It locks your hand in a way that one needs to experience to understand the significance. If you could grab that thing, stab a couple boxes and tell me how it feels I'd be most interested, as I would like at least a rudimentary ability to thrust like the 1796 affords, but even with that friendly handle it takes some practice. I suspect (except for a few peripheral angles) that it is a cutter only.

I suspect (except for a few peripheral angles) that it is a cutter only. This is what I'll do for ya... I'm going to try and get a bone-in pork shoulder and I am going to cover it in at least 2 t shirts and then I am going to thrust it first as a howler special request and then I am going to try and cleave the whole thing. Yeah, that's da ticket. Make sure you have BBQ ready though, cutting will get ya hungry. I've been looking into and think that sword excels in close in slashing draw cuts using arms & shoulder while having the ability of upper and angled thrusts (this could make for a nasty indoor personal defense option, along with offhand dagger or shield). Just not made to extend arms and bend wrists for ranged chops and thrusts. Might have to get me one (also Cavalier, Colichemarde).
