Cold Steel

[version]

For Luka. Watch these strange men nail raw meat to poles and stuff it into boots then smash it to bits with medieval weapons.

"That's what I love about this Chinese war sword, cuts like a bat outta Hell."

 

[version]

This one's a personal favourite. A bunch of middle-aged men splitting pig heads with a sharpened trowel and throwing it at pictures of zombie hags.

🤣

The extreme hole digging at 1:27 in that last one... Guy who looks like Dog the Bounty Hunter hacking away at the earth to a metal soundtrack.

😂

there's this history channel reality show called forged in fire: knife or death where they do a knife obstacle course which basically consists of chopping things in one try without your knife breaking. sadly its better in concept than in execution since most of them just fail at the same point in the course and you can only watch someone chopping at an ice sculpture for so long.

I've chosen to play Slayer to these.

Was gonna say that that looks exactly like Forged in Fire (or is it Forged By Fire?) where they gotta make a certain weapon themselves and then subject it to a load of tests - I mean it looks exactly the same like they're using the same targets in the same room. Must be the same show rebranded or something?

yeah it's the game show spinoff of the original forged in fire

This is perhaps the peak of this stuff. The guy's face watching it...

He's unleashing some demons on that dummy.

Was mediaeval York ever ruled by a man called Erik Bloodtrowel?

I think not.

Terrifying... he would definitely kill a man if he could get away with it.

 

[pattycakes_]

good chance he has if he's a seal

 

[WashYourHands]

This is for fighting, this is for fun.

 

[IdleRich]

I mean the guy watching. But yeah, that other guy definitely has.

 

[IdleRich]

I mean is that part of seal training? Makes sure he's really really dead... keep stabbing him after his head has come off so you don't get any nasty surprises.

He went straight for the heart area. You know how no pulse affects performance. The rest is theatre, the screaming etc
