WAXAHACHIE HOLLA!

1st off we are not looking to chop human bodies up with one swipe. We are showing what a well made knife can do. Even a skilled swordsman would have difficulty keeping up with some of us in a course event. If you think its so easy bring your sword out and try it.

[davedisaster12]

this is dumbest shit I've ever seen. You hillbillies ever heard of a Samurai Sword? those things can chop a human body in half in one swipe. It makes your little girl knives look like butterknives

[Chumgeyser]

@davedisaster12 - What a moronic comment. If you aren't interested in this why take the time to talk down about it? Enjoy your samurai sword on your next camping trip.

[auradud3]

what type of blade did bud use?

[ss5s]

No. Everyone uses there own knife. The knife can be no longer than 15'", no wider than 2" and a max blade length of 10". You cut the course with one knife start to finish. 

[ChAnDoN864430]

is that all the same knife

[ss5s]

Bud was a long way from having and accident. The knife slipped in his hand and he corrected. He did not endanger himself or anyone else. But it looked fierce.

@ss5s Wasn't there a lanyard anyway?

[tekinak007]

Scarey how he very nearly lost complete control of the knife at the end 2x4. Just goes to show how even an experienced person can nearly make a fierce accident.

The most popular style tang is a full tang with a horse trailer rubber matt for handles. There are a few full tangs that have had the rubber milled out so that the rubber goes all around it. There are not any stick/narrow tangs that we are using. The blades are from 1/4" to 3/8". Spec on the knives are 15" over all, 10" of blade 2" wide, any thickness. Thanks

[555Nato]

What's the most used handle/tang style in this sport.The full width tang handle?Are there any stick/narrow tang handles being used,or are they considered being too weak?And what's the thickness of these blades..by the way, Great video !

[ss5s]

Thanks. We all practice and help each other out with our technique  and blade geometry.

[EpicEffinTom]

thats pretty cool, i do iaido and tameshigiri so i can understand how easy it can look to make cuts, its really fuckin hard and alot of people dont realize that. these are some very difficult cuts more so with a knife.

props to everyone there.

[ss5s]

We make it look EZ. Come on out.

[NETSTAR1877]

i would love oneday to come to one of these events .,i think its an excellent sport and not as easy as it looks within the time allowances.

[ss5s]

Why do people chase a little ball on a golf course? Why do people play baseball, basketball, and football? Why do people race cars, and horses? Why do people cut up lumber? BECAUSE IT IS FUN.

[aznboi1214]

lol this is so stupid why is this a competition?

[ss5s]

Yes

[Kwimalo]

Is this a timed event?

[dmmpst]

man waxahachie is so weird lol

[ss5s]

really

[HTOWNZACH1]

really, i mean really.

[rainmechanic]

I think we'll be seeing the manufacturers copying these large Warncliff blades in the near future... Especially for battaning, chopping,firemaking, ect... thats a big lucrative market nowadays... the Warncliff was always a great blade shape for a variety of tasks.. and its straight edge is fairly easy to sharpen.

[MalstryannWoW]

great video thanks for loading it! Looks like that blunt tip profile is really popular. More weight I guess out front? Im gonna have to attend one of these after I forge a knife to spec. well that and get trained :)
