Cutting a 5 liter bottles, and then 4 other bottles with a new powering mechanism. I've done some cuttings with this sword before but this time it moved a lot faster with the improvement. :D

Is that a sword or a meat clever? :shock:


Seriously, how much does that sword weigh?

(on Pennsic) I know that movie. It is the 13th warrior. A bunch of guys in armour that doesn't match itself or anybody elses, go on a trip and argue and get drunk and get laid and then fight Tuchux.

Cool stuff.

You should do some of that test cutting on the archive, and lop the Political forum off the bottom of the index page.

Using Deva Slayer (the sword's name) to test cut 4.8 L bottles from the new stance.
