Isn't that the guy they forced to go attend "cultural enrichment training" (or be sent to prison for refusing) after he stopped the attack because well they want to make sure he didn't you know have bad thoughts about imports after all that...
It can't be a locking blade either. Dumb as hell to remove a safety feature. The UK is gone.
Wait, I thought we were talking about machetes. When did we start talking about Mexicans?
If I had a grinder, file, or rock an some metal, would I be arrested for intent, down there?

No, you get arrested and you don't know why until they make up the charge at the station, and if they can't think of something, they let you go.
If you get arrested, you can ask "why are you arresting me?" And they say "I don't have to answer your questions". If you give them any attitude, they say "I'm recording this as evidence against you".
Ask me how I know.

Serious question. Are the shooting sports ( rifle, shotgun,and pistol) rapidly becoming a thing of the past in the entirety of Australia? If so, amazing when one considers the geography of the entire continent.
Man that's some fucked up shit,... do many of them get bit by some of the critters you have down there, if not,... way not? Just asking for firends
I have an earlier version of this machete but put a 25 degree edge on it. It's extremely sharp and is a cutting machine. This isn't anymore of a machete than a VW beetle is a formula 4 race car. It's a cheap short sword but let's call it a machete so we can sell it in countries that ban swords

At 25 degrees does it hold an edge or are you constantly sharpening?

Needs more assegai! ;-)

PS. Just kidding. After watching the video, I had To Order one!! $55 shipped? No brainer! That’s what I love about Cold Steel! It’s crap, but it is really well-made and rugged crap! My Assegai is Cold Steel as well. I turned up the handle from some African hardwood I had lying around. Lethal bit of junk! Shaka would be proud!!!

To tell the truth, I haven't chopped very much with it. What I have chopped; small branches and brush, the blade has performed really well.
To emphasize this, I got the earlier version which probably had about a 40-45 degree grind. That really sucked. So a shallower, 25 degree grind was applied.
For any sort of cutting jobs, I use the Silky Japanese pull saws. If you haven't used them, I encourage you to give them a try because they beat any other manual saw by a wide margin.
For chopping, I use the Cold Steel Kukri. I have an older version with the San Mai steel. I also have other Kurkis from Kailash Blades in Nepal which are great.
I like the Cold Steel gladius, not for chopping, but it's a cheap ass short sword.
Bonus titles if he yelled "there goes a narwhal!" and made the sound:Everything is a weapon if you are a warrior!

If you like spears, you will probably get a woody with this one! I got several, one for myself and a few for gifts to friends. When I gave them the spears, you would have thought that I gave them a gift certificate to a whore house in Las Vegas.
The handle is much harder than the Samburu because it's made of ash. The main complaints of the Samburu are that the handle is prone to breakage. This ash handle is really sturdy. So if you get one follow the instructions for pre drilling the holes in the handle for the screw.
I didn't but installed the screws without pre-drilling. I should have known better but got them in although it was tough.
I touched up the blade with a steel hone and can't wait to use it for hunting if my state ever legalizes spears for taking game.
Without the sheath, the spear is evenly balanced. So you can practice throwing with the "shoe" into the target. That way you won't dull the blade. Just be careful when withdrawing the spear from the target because the blade is exposed to the rear.

The problem with Australia is the same thing plaguing the rest of the West. Shooting sports, self reliance, and freedom are being threatened with a two faceted blow, one from a population that is growing increasingly apathetic, complacent, and ignorant, and the second threat coming from opportunistic politicians who are taking advantage of the apathy of the general public to legislate more and more freedoms away.
Like I've long always said, a society giving up it's civilian owned weapons is merely one symptom of a serious social disease. Most of Australia's population, just like the rest of the West and first world East, are comprised of urbanites who are glued to Tiktok and Instagram. Their obsessions are with Taylor Swift, Bridgerton, fashion, keeping up with their friends' social media presences, and latest consumer goods trends.
If their Internet goes down for more than 2 hours, they will go suicidally insane.
If their "friends", most of them who will never even spend the effort to visit them in a hospital ER if they get sick, posts about a new "viral" kitchen gadget or latest snake-oil health product, they will put the priority of obtaining that item far over other things like rent and food.
However, ask them basic questions about global history and they will have no clue, nor will they be interested. Continue talking to them about history and they will call you a "creep" or tell their friends that you give them "the ick".
If you say to them that your passions are camping, fishing, hiking, and spending time in the great outdoors, love fixing and building vehicles and other things, and are mechanically inclined and good with tools, you will automatically be perceived as a potential or active serial killer, or some Breaking Bad-esque crime lord. However when these folks' plumbing goes to shit or an appliance breaks, they turn to you first begging and pleading, and expecting you to fix their stuff on a whim.
If a deranged assailant is to start hacking away at people in public or plow a vehicle through a crowd, this bunch ONLY knows how to react in one of two ways:
A: Pull out their phones and record while screaming nonsensically,
B: Stand and freeze while screaming nonsensically.
They have absolutely NO sense of self preservation nor do they care to change that. To them, weakness is essential to "being human", and "being yourself", and they consider that a sign of "being healthy". That is literally their belief system, no doubt from hours of binging quack "mental health" content on social media.
Politicians and legislators are purely opportunistic and "take what they can get". When conditions are not matching up to their inner and concealed desires, they will not even squeak or otherwise bring attention to themselves. However, when a wide open road is paved, cleaned, and green-lighted for them, only a special kind of retarded would think that they would not take advantage of it fully or give even the slightest regard about the safety of potential pedestrians on that road.
The banning of civilian owned firearms by a society is merely a sign of a much more deeper and serious problem with that society's population. If a "Battlefield: Los Angeles" style army of near peer hostile alien troops were to land right now and start picking off innocent civilians, and the governments of the world instantly reverse any and all weapons ordinances, and mandate that trailers full of military rifles and pistols and ammunition be deposited on every street for anyone to equip themselves, guess what? 90%-98% of the entire population would not know what to do with the weapons. The trailers will sit completely ignored across cities. Some might try to grab a rifle and load it, but having never had any form of exposure to these weapons before, they will get confused at how the controls work, how the magazines fit, which way do the rounds face inside the mags, etc, and throw them aside in frustration and continue running. They however, can recite every single sports stat and trivia and name every player from 1985 though...

Anyone who has studied/practiced edged weapons techniques, can attest to the effectiveness of an inch long scalpel held at the finger tip. If you can touch a person, they are cut. If you know a little about anatomy, a few millimeters cut depth is all it takes to kill. A one inch blade, or a three foot blade, really doesn't matter.
True but a three foot blade reduces the margin for error by 35 inches.
Depends, if you want to hack off an arm, or lay open a carotid.
Well, one could open a carotid and take off the head at the same time with a three foot blade.
Because it happened to me, and it happened to a few friends.
It was also about firearms...... fun times.
Also to clarify, Australia is lost, as many people like @Blue Sky Country pointed out, its social media.
I tend to find that most Aussies are actually quite conservative. The lunatics however have a VERY loud voice and are a vocal minority.
The media loves a beat up, as all the mentally ill trans, immigrants, minority whatever, they yell to get attention. The average Aussie is just head down, bum up working to provide for their family. Many don't shoot, but lots do. They don't want to draw attention to themselves so just keep quiet.
That's the real problem. We just keep to ourselves and try not to bother people.
Those who DO stand up and fight for rights, well those people suffer from tall-poppy syndrome.
That's what happened to me.

No. That's the guy who was awarded the Queen's Gallantry Medal for his bravery in stopping the attack. He were four or five others who also received bravery awards.
Complacency puts us all at risk. None are immune.
Then they need to elect a government that is not a bunch of far left, liberal, cunts. See what I'm saying.
