Starfire Swords Axe vs. Sword at GARF Battle Chess

[santanoreal1096]

iv heard these swords and badger blades are both tough. anyone got any feedback specifically about badger blades?

[Pellaz2112]

@santanoreal1096 Sorry, I don't have any personal experience with Badger blades. Check to see if they carry a guarantee, etc.

@santanoreal1096 They're a bit hefty and not that well balanced, as they beef up their thickness to withstand the beating they put them through.

[Pellaz2112]

@SixElementsTheatre Depends on which Starfire blade you're referring to. For the best balance on non-curved blades, I suggest two of their 28" blade varieties: light sword with 1" blade and the hand-and-a-half ridged, aka an RS-28. Once you get used to it, the latter has an awesome heft, as you'd expect from a hand-and-a-half.

For curved blades, I suggest their 26" Mongolian-style scimitar (not the middle-eastern style), and the new 25" cutlass.

Good action. More in the forest? If you like:

As a proud owner of a Starfire 28" light sword, I feel great seeing them in action. =)

Great vid.

that disarm looked incredibly dangerous to the audience...

[Pellaz2112]

Yep, but it was well-choreographed. Note that the direction the sword flies off toward is completely empty of participants.

Also, the sword is not tipped or edged (that's how Starfire swords are sold...for stage combat), so it's not quite as dangerous as it might seem even if there had been cast personnel 'downrange.' :)

I don't know... that axe seemed small to me... Im shorter than that big guy and I can use a big double headed axe for tree cutting better than that guy.

[Kenyawn]

Cutting trees =/= fighting. At all.

[MorteWulfe]

So... how many axe fights you get in lately? Nerd...

[Pellaz2112]

Well, it -is- just a one-handed Viking-style throwing axe. Starfire Forge makes a longer two-handed double-headed axe which is a bit more impressive and just as durable....plus some monstrous battle-axe heads designed to mount on a wooden pole.

[Ulfar7]

Cool i fight with great two handed axe and im big as that fatbastard!Good because i beginning to think that im only one who choose this style

[Rondy58]

No way this video is "boreing". 4 stars, axe pwns.

[Pellaz2112]

The axe pwns...and Starfire's light-swords are outclassed in weight by their axes, so do NOT try this at home. Their legendary guarantee doesn't apply if you're fighting out of class. :)

boreing...

[Pellaz2112]

Yeah. Uh-huh.
