SAPS, BLACKJACKS AND SLUNGSHOTS: A HISTORY OF FORGOTTEN WEAPONS, THE BOOK tells the story of the most forgotten weapons from history for the first time in history.
2018 Independent Author Network Awards... Finalist Non-Fiction, History. Amazon #1 New Release in 3 categories.
Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Al Capone, William Shakespeare, Jules Verne, Hank Williams and Frank Sinatra are just some of the notable people that are encountered in this wide ranging and previously undiscovered tale. The book was exhaustively researched and is, I am told, quite entertaining.

Watched the film on a bit of a lark (no agenda) and I think there’s some interesting lessons to be learned from the project.

“Do not touch” **Immediately touches it for clout** 🙄
very cool
Yes! Some even have sharks teeth or sharpened flint it's brilliant because you can replace them as needed I can't imagine facing that in combat. very nasty! That thing can split your head in 2 . That's a very nice example I'd love to get my hands on one.
I have a chapter in my most recent book dedicated to shark-tooth clubs. Easily some of the coolest looking weapons ever made.
@ObjectHistory yes I agree!! very very cool I want that book but I can't afford anything yet. I just got a bad detective blackjack from DD whips that is awesome. I have taken a renewed interest in impact weapons thank you for writing the book you probably saved much info. I will be getting a copy of your book , I'm interested, do you have anything from DD whips? Your collection is stunning by the way
I wish someone would make these out of a high strengh plastic or something
I think this is my first time seeing these all wood Pacific Islander clubs. I have seen the ones with the rock/shark tooth along the striking surface. Definitely a cool concept.
Not one person claimed to see a shooter from the knoll on the 22nd but multiple people saw a shooter or a gun barrel in the 6th floor window which is where the search immediately centered on.
Looks like the handle may have broken off a long time ago. The way the end looks suggests a break.
Had not thought of that! Edit- But I feel like the flattened cross-section is so long that it's difficult to imagine a round haft being further down, because that section would have to be long enough to hold with two hands, so the total length feels like it'd be too much... really not sure though, and I know squat about interpreting signs in the wood.
@ObjectHistory When wood breaks it tends to splinter and tear unevenly. So those little indentations that go up into it would be where the grain split apart. At least that's what it looks like to my eyes. Not saying I'm like some kind of historical wooden weapons expert, but I do have quite a bit of experience of restoring old tools, so I've seen and repaired many broken handles over the years. Obviously I can't say that's definitively it, but If I saw this anywhere, that's what I would suspect. And it's interesting that you mention the length. I was wondering if it was possible that it was more of a ceremonial or display type of thing, or maybe a two handed sword style of weapon, but I don't know enough about the culture. And funnily enough I've always thought that canoe paddles would be handy war clubs. I might need to make one... Hmmm. 🤔
Ive seen versions with points at both ends. War clubs are the ultimate fantasy weapon. They in my opinion are cooler than swords.
I love the variety of them and the feel in the hand. No weapon material feels better when grasped than wood IMO.
@ObjectHistory agreed in my fantasy story metal doesn't exist so people use clubs picks axes and daggers.
Great point on the kickstarter promise versus the result. For sure feels like a 15min short stretched to 40min
Thanks and interesting corroboration given your background.
Well, this IS a very important one. So is the Empress, but I will keep myself to mine own side of those matters. It does seem we have so many, on the left and on the right, wanting to describe us who are male in their own images - or it that more in their plans. I say - let's describe ourselves per the personal of being, condition and life history, and hang all others who only want us slave to them. Rather than that noisy crowd, listening to the wisdom of the collective past is a far better (and saner) option. As to my own Emperor, I engaged in combat with him and banished the enslavement of dis-approval. I am what I am, and while I didn't 'kill' - that Emperor knew better than to ever try another enough, Pity is, my Empress lacked the understanding to know that I would put her in a tower of banishment. But, sadly - as is this heritage of mine, she felt it is an right to think herself on par with an ancestor of ours. Now, that woman was called the Great Woman or the Great Mary, and were asked for advice from marriage to business. Not a small thing on a island with rather able and proud folk. But - she earned that business rather thinking it was hers by right. Even my Emperor never understood that he has married... And yes - it is a curious thing this interest today with pirates and Vikings. The early family on the island of Nantucket has mention of Letters of Marque, and that was a legal license to be an pirate. With the certain knowledge that I am a descendant of Rollo - it is interesting to me the current interest in Vikings. My DNA still shows an 9% percentage as being Dano-Norwegian. And while I lack children. Fate directed me in a difference path. I still have many who seek me as my 'vassal or to be my sons. What kind of Emperor to be - indeed. (Love the one-note addition from Beethoven.)
I gotta have that book!! I've seen other examples from your impressive collection.
Thank you! It's on Amazon and other websites. Amazon is the preferred choice from my perspective because then readers can rate and review it, if they want to, which helps encourage Amazon to make it more visible. I know it's not cheap but that's because it has over 100 pictures, many in color. I get like a few dollars from each sale, that's it... again, just to explain the price tag. Amazon - a.co/d/2YD47t6
Nice short.
Thanks
Ordered your book of Amazon will arrive Thursday can’t wait 😊
Thank you VERY much. Please consider leaving a review or rating on Amazon when you're done. Let me know what you think when you're done.
@ no worries will do 😊
@ just left you a 5 star rating and a quick review 😊
Zapruder wasn't the only one to film the assassination -- it was filmed from the other side of the street as well.
Nice short.
Thanks a lot
"samson the Bibles haracles ripoff" that's how i think of him
:)
Whats the weight of this? Im assuming with the shape, its full of shot not sand. The fingers are vulnerable at the moment of strike...
About 8 ounces. And you're right about the fingers. The palm sap is very interesting, and effective in its use-case (a sudden slap), but not the best weapon design ever.
Very cool 😎 weapon.
Thanks. One of my favorites.
@ Mine too.
54 minutes?
I know, LOL
@ That’s way too long to spending talking about this movie. 😂
Nice short.
Appreciate it
Thank you for making this video. I was interested in learning about the movie but A) didn't want to actually watch it and B) didn't want to watch the high profile reviews, because Drinker is a controversial figure and a lot of people would shit on the movie just because they don't like him. When I came across your channel, I thought you had to be the least biased reviewer I could ask for.
Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, definitely wanted to come at it without an agenda.
10 minutes in, still waiting for the video to get to the point...
Keep waiting, it's so worth it.
@@ObjectHistory Nah, it wasn't. Use my time well or let me go
@@janos500ac You are released
As a Dayak, i'll tell you that all of our blade weapon called mandau... Mandau is came from benuaq language "mendaw" and be gerenerally used to call for Dayak Sword... But every Dayak has the different of them sword... Like Iban say Duku (mean be sword), and so many variety of duku, ex duku ilang, duku nyabur, duku langai tingang, etc...
Very interesting. Thank you for posting that.
Love it.
Thanks as always
Critical Drinker is one of the biggest sellouts on UA-cam, plus he trashed everything but doesn't let people review his stuff. Finally, time to trash his "work" now!
Ironically the killer behind that fence is the only person still alive in this whole debacle .
Thanks for all of your research and hard work on these videos. Very interesting
Really appreciate you saying that
thanks, i find it silly to give a legitimate critical review of anything done by CD, the one-trick party clown 🤣
Critical Drinker is a sell out
ياتى مع هذا المسدس علبة تنظيف مع مزيته ومرود تنظيف من 3قطع
Interesting text.
Glad you found it to be so
Not everything is for everyone.
Very true
Something the Critical Drinker has never himself said about the content he "reviews".
Like just for the dunking on shad at the 5 minute mark, id ask for a review on his creepy/scream suspicious thoughts/projection novel but wouldn't want you wasting money on that bog roll of a novel
Shad wrote a novel? Or Critical Drinkers novels?
Shad's novel is set in a world he created (obviously, as the author)... where the age of consent is 14 and his elderly man protagonist had sex with countless 14 year old girls. I used to be a lot kinder to him despite thinking his weapons analysis was extremely shallow, now I realize he's a full on creep besides being a lazy weapons content creator.
I've thought about doing it... actually had no idea about the legitimately disturbing predator power fantasy novel he wrote, meaning anything about its content. I may do that, get a second hand copy.
@cinnabar-1 shad wrote a novel "Shadow of the Conqueror" I can't write in details disgusting stuff as youtube will auto delete will just say the MC in his book does a bunch of "pdf file" stuff to nearly 500 girls as young as 14 and trys justifying it by claiming the only ones that are bitter about the assault are the ones that didn't get pregnant and bare his child
Well this is unexpected.
Right- It's like when something takes hold of my brain and I feel a need to write a whole book about it but in ultra-compressed form. Now I can move on.
Nice short.
Thanks- I thought it was a pretty awesome moment. The YT algorithm disagrees LOL.
Learning quite a lot thanks.
Great to hear
I heard the theory that the inspiration. Came from the partizan.
I mean they sure look like that could have been how they started.
I was at a nightclub in Belfast in the 90’s. An average sized guy with sap gloves on knocked out at least 2 dozen people in the club, starting with the bouncers who tried to remove him for some reason. The dude went outside and continued to knock people out. Police arrived and he knocked several of them out as well. Cops and bystanders finally piled on top of him and overpowered him. It was the first time I’d ever heard of these gloves. Haven’t thought about them until just now when I saw this video. Thanks for the super interesting content!
Now that's a story, wow.
@ Indeed. I was a 21 year old Canadian punk visiting there, and had never seen anything like it. Guys in the UK and Ireland were brutal fighters
@ Stand up comic Don Imera (something like that) talked back in the day about growing up on the street with different ethnicities and how insane the Irish American guys were, like, "You ripped off my arm? Now I'm pissed. That was my favorite arm."
Really cool, I had always dismissed blackjacks as old and ineffective but I was dead wrong, extremely relevant today. I have one from DD whips so I have something when I can't carry a firearm, . The bad thing about soap is that it shatters on the first swing so make it count
DD whips is a quality maker for sure. A jack can be devastating, no doubt. I think some ppl underestimate them greatly but then others make the opposite mistake. Some people can keep fighting after taking a baseball bat to the head or getting stabbed multiple times or whatever. But used properly and in the right spots, jacks have a long history of being effective. When they're used to just flail wildly, less so. And then again, they can kill.
garden hose with sand
Yes! What I'm unsure of is if that started as a weapon or a carpentry tool. It would certainly make sense to me that it started as a/the tool (for knocking wood into place without damaging its surface) and then got incorporated into street fighting use.
Somebody look in the pergola behind zapruder
Yes it is cool. Nice sparing.
Thank you
Great video! Provides an excellent perspective of this historical site.
Thanks. I'm glad you found it useful.
Cherry was the specified scale material. My friend, who was a Forged in Fire finalist, is making one for me. A few minor differences though. Better steel, aluminum pommel, and guard, Ironwood scales. And, made to fit my hand. I can't wait to put it to work!
Thanks for the info about the wood. Oh, that sounds great (the custom job).
that's a new fence?
Yeah. I'm not even sure if the one from the 1990s that I first saw was the original but it had all these great messages to JFK on them across time.
This book is a nice reference guide. It does not teach you patterns to learn but this book is a historical reference.🤔
Agreed
Great video man, I always imagined the line about the white ladder all covered with water, relating to the actual name of the song, as in something is coming, something is going to happen, so someone will step on ladder and as it’s white they will not see the water and they will fall. Quite a dark image but that’s what I always imagined when I heard it.
That's really intriguing
inspiring
Isn't it ironic that the plaque about President Kennedy Murder is at the Grassy Knoll ...
Solid point
