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.

Shotgun cane might work, eh?
Enjoyed this video. I’m curious as to the type of wood and length of the nunchakus, their weight and how long is the chain.
Does the turtle shell represent the tectonic plates under the continents & ocean?
No es una navaja española el diseño y sobre todo el bloqueo no se corresponde.
Obviously wouldn't have been a mass produced object that was manufactured by a company back in the day but nonetheless I still appreciate seeing a trench raider club in action even if it is a replica/reproduction.
Lol dork
shiny object distraction syndrome
The use of the cape, poncho, or a heavy coat in knives and sword fights date all the way back to the renaissance. Its use & employment are explained in many treatises of sword masters of the era.
Videos tend to have lightweight hollow chuks for fast spins and less damage if they make a mistake..practice chuks.. you can hear it... iv seen a couple that you can tell the sound wasn't edited and you hear the chuks hitting and sliding across the floor..😅
LOL. Good point- God I hate fake chucks.
@@ObjectHistory lol.. thnx.. I taught myself the hard way..😆
I have no idea what is supposed to be anomalous?
It was only the first day of October, too early for Christmas decorations IMO
Haha
What is the thing at the very top of the video ?
Tibetan dorje
Sprocket is correct! It is for a chain drive in Heavy machinery
Always appreciated these weapons! Was new to me that ppl still make em :D
OH I definitely don't want any part of the easily offended BS yeah
Acolyte costing 200+ MILLION (actual United States Dollars no we aren't talking about like Jamaican Dollars) is like Darth Vader being a whiny baby oh wait
I want it painted black!
I want one...😂😂😂
its a easy DIY 🙂 ( part of an old car's transmission and a pipe )
I’d hate to explain that to a prosecutor lol
Nice demo, also, btw of how a tree can out-sustain a brick. Great video all around.
TEN YARDS? was The Hulk your rugby opponent?
Initial thoughts before finishing...that is a MONSTER of a piece and essentially a flanged mace--u DO NOT wan to play games with a guy holding that.
hahaha u mention that, we r on the same page.
oh right it's very much like an ancient disc too
How many shots from that do you think u could soak up
@@frakismaximus3052to the dome? Like one and anyone is out cold if not their brains are now exposed to the air. To me leg or hand? Like 3-4 maybe before I cannot contain myself and beg or cry.
That navaja looks like a T-Rex tooth.
beautiful blades
I finally found me a 1966 Colt Detective Special. It’s in real good shape, unfortunately no box but that’s ok.
Nice. Yep, those boxes must be really rare.
How to make it bro?😮
It’s not a securement against theft, it’s a securement against blowing away in high winds.
flamenco dat u???
Thank you for this video, I had never seen this weapon before. I recently started using nunchakus again (a friend saw them hanging in my garage and asked if I knew how to use them) after they sat in my garage for 25 years. I recently bought 3 new pair. I just subscribed and look forward to seeing more of your videos.
I am enjoying your writing in the kindle edition of your blackjack and sap book. You can write! I will be picking up the hardcover version. I have only just started the book, but so far so good. I hope you touch on the Slavic volchatka in the book.
I will be picking up this book as well.
Thanks so much for the support, glad you like it. And thanks for the comments on my writing too. Won't lie- the volchatka is mentioned in the book but was treated as out of scope.
You know government has gone too far when it regulates ATF-K alcohol, tabacco, firearms and knives.
Ahhh, the knife-knife.
Shad is just a "Mediaeval Europe" fanboy. Let him play with his European weapons.
Its a felony to carry one of these. It’s “intent to kill”.
I'd love to see more of this kind of production being shown in old western video games or something alike.
Everything has become infused with politics, and politics have become really toxic in the last 15ish years. I've even seen people try to attribute some sort of lesbian rights messaging to the dinosaurs in the original 1993 Jurassic Park (not using it as analogy - claiming that the lesbian message was there all along). Social media is only making this echo chamber problem worse. I watch a Critical Drinker video that tears the Acolyte to shreds, and like you, I agree with most of his criticism, but some of the comments are really unnecessary. Nevertheless, UA-cam starts recommending Dave Rubin and Charlie Kirk videos as if to say "Oh, you like that? Here's some raw bigotry... dialed up to 11!" I don't think enough people are aware enough to filter through their UA-cam or Facebook feed with a HEALTHY level of skepticism.
I've been sucker punched with one. Glad I'm alive ..
Very interesting.
I feel like the culture war trope explained here is more of a baseless argument to use against OG and prequel fans who legitimately just hate the new star wars content. We cant dislike something without being bunched with hill billies
I spotted two screw-ups with certainty: a black pick-up and one white pick-up was parked askew on two spots.
Yeah, not a fan of this one. Wokeness and just a bad story.
Define "wokeness".
i am an outsider, the american politic doesnt applied/affected me. the way i see star wars drama is just about independent critics vs Corporate shill. and funny things is the so called "toxic" fandom is more diverse than the one who scream pro inclusivity lmao. at the end of the end people just want storytelling above anything else
kind of funny that people complain about that, in a series that depicts aliens, being too diverse caracters ( but to me there were only three star wars movies anyways ) LOL
That's not the point, the idea of them making every TV show downtown LA in 2024 is the issue well that the over the topic of political current-dayism.
I think you are right with the vast majority of people who just want good stories. I was excited about (possibly) "Lesbian Space Witches" as it reminded me of the Witches Of Dathomir from the cartoon shows. Imagine if they were really well done with a great story, it would have actually forwarded acceptance because few would care about racial/gender/orientation issues and just be glad they got something kick ass. But the way they were implemented in this show was poorly done, and my heart sank because I knew it would be the same old cultural debate on both sides. I was also excited because this was the first show to take place out of the Skywalker timeline and was to focus on the "dark side" and yet without a great story even that was disappointing. Hopefully they are going for "quality over quantity" and perhaps someday can come back to some of these stories and have it be better done
Mass effect has whole species of bisexual space babe witches.
Yes I feel like I don't fight in
All train baths and showers are tiny spaces. This private train is still lavish when compared to modern luxury train acommodations.
Just ordered your book on kindle. I will order the hard cover if I really like it. Great channel. Really interesting subject matter. I am looking for historical accounts of uses, I am hoping you have some in your book. Do you ever go over witness accounts on your UA-cam channel?
Thank you so much for ordering the book. I spent years on that, it's as good of a book as I'm capable of making. Yes, it's full of actual incidents. You bring up a good point, I need to cover that (not the ones in the book) here on the channel. Please consider reviewing my book on Amazon after you read it. Thanks again.
you are welcome, I started it today. I am probably going to order the hardcover version as well, it is really good so far.
Couple of things, those figures were very often tupuna. The shape itself is meant to depict a severed kidney, thusly the notch in the middle. A lot of the more ornate ones are ceremonial, meant to be used as a talking stick during korero taking place in a wharenui
Arizona custom knives doesn’t make knives lol
Very similar to a Maori weapon called a Mere, except they were usually made of stone.
I don't know for sure but I sort of always assumed that when it comes to alot of the eastern martial arts skills which involved duel weilding with weapon including Kama,tonfas and stuff like that I sort of think that despite the fact that doing so might have been a popular training method I also don't think that alot of people who trained that way historically necessarily expected that they will always have two weapons available or within reach to fight with both at once.
