One of the oldest weapons if mankind is the simple knife.

Easily manufactured at home, or a prison cell form what is available.

Small and concealable.

The knife can not be regulated from existence.

The effectiveness of a knife is not disputed. When an artery is severed life is draining out in minutes without serious medical intervention. a severed aorta or heart or other major blood supply vessel is beyond the help of man.

Severing the tendons disables the limbs from effective operation.

I carry a good firearm 24/7. Dress heavier with a 1911 in .45acp when going to town. As an older man, I always felt a missing defensive tool. The sword.

A sword can is already in the hand when you need it. A sharp and lively blade will dispatch a threat as surely as a gun. 22 3/4" blade, 1060 High carbon, spring tempered and a good edge holder. I have sharpened it to a utility edge to cut but not roll on a bone strike. Will shave hair from the forearm.

Can choose to use the flat of the blade as a bludgeon or the edg as a cutter. the point will effortlessly pierce the body of a bad guy.

Now that's a knife.

After a remodel of the home, I had a lot of left over 12" square slate tiles.

Alway looks for alternative weapon materials, I am making arrow heads, spear heads, knives, and small tomahawk from it.

The slate is softer than flint and less durable than steel. when it is what you have at hand, it will do the job.

Photographs to follow.

Dreaming of the old country.

Kicked back at the water's edge listening to Santiano on the Marley boom box. Waiting for that Nutria Rat to show its face.

I prefer tangible assets like Gold, Silver, copper, lead and brass.

How are things in Venezuela?

Sometimes we need to leave things as they are. If not broke don't fix it.

German ex-pat Louisiana

Brazil?

Please tell me, "How deep is Bigler?"

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Clowns In Action

Would not make it for a German Frühstück.

Too small of portion. It does look tasty.

I have grown most accustomed to a loaf of Wendelsteiner, Schleswig-Holstein butter, cold cuts and weißwurst served with light wheat bier.

Leberwurst, schinken and brot is still a good start.

Wohnst du in Österreich?

The liberal causes that are breaking apart our nation, are tools of the communists.

Those things liberals love will be outlawed once the communists gain control. Think about it people. Your new masters will not allow those weaponized ideas to destroy their new conquest. You only have to look to China, North Korea, Cuba, to see your future.

Bit Coin has a place I suppose.

For my emergency stash, it is gold, silver, and copper lead and brass. (ammunition)

Gold and silver does not require electricity. Wealth storage that has stood the test of millennium. Ammunition is booth currency and a tool for defense and food gathering.

I have slept on the foundations of Athena's temple in the Heidenfelsen, long before the first archeologist found it. I know where many thousands of bricks of sandstone with the carvings of the temple lay buried near Landstuhl.

Life is not Microsoft, micro processors and virtual reality.

Christian Nationalism

What is the down side, pray tell?
