"You'll have to go out of your mind to damage the edge" That's the whole idea of the Zombie Tools. the edge is unnecessarily thick because in the name of survival I personally rather have a blade which I can trust my life with that it doesn't break when things get rough.
Just want to say this quick Skall. Thank you for being a reviewer who informs his watchers of products. I got my first sword a few months ago, and it was the very one you review in this video. It's truly at home in my hand, and I couldn't be happier with it. If it had not been for your videos my first sword would probably have been some crap made by cold steel. Thanks for your great content. Always enjoy it.
I like this idea. A warhammer with a full length threaded shaft for a handle. You could then screw dozens of pommels to it all the way up its length. Use interrupted threads so you only needed a half or quarter turn to unscrew and remove each one. You could end a dozen men (or zombies) rightly.
***** Do you simply refuse to give me that? That I just stated that there was actual nature footage in there? I does not exclude the use of a green screen in other parts of the video, you know. Either way, have a nice day.
Hey skall, can you do a video on the 'lifespan' of swords used in the battlefield? I mean how long would swords last before they need replacing (in medieval times)? I know there are many factors that affect this such as how often it was used, what damages it sustained etc, but is there an average 'lifespan' for swords used in the battlefield? (because obviously swords can last practically forever if never used)
i dont know if you question hasnt already been answered but in fact swords would often last longer then their owners even with heavy use. thats also why a sword might have been an expensive object in early medieval times, but became very common later. probably used sword salesman played their role in this. of course it was also dependend on quality. bad quality swords might break etc. and therefor would have to be exchanged however just from use a sword probably almost never got unusable. with rapiers and smallswords breaking edges were pretty common. so often companys like wilkinson would produce only blades and refit your hilt whenever that happend.
God...these "I'm early I should make a joke" comments have become more prevalent and annoying than the actual "The last time I was this early *insert "joke"* " comments.
Sabres do offer some advantage over two handers. lighter, more compact so more convenient to wear and carry. Better hand protection. They use their length more efficiently (ie you get more practical reach per inch of blade), you present a smaller target area to the opponent using one...I would only really favour using a two handed sword if I also got to wear armour. Still, I do have both types because I think it's nice to have a two handed and single handed system under your belt, even if your prefer one over the other.
"I tested the strength of the tip" I'm so sorry Skall. But this sound just like "They're taking the hobbits to Isengard" Love the video Skall! Keep it up!
I still really love my custom ZT Diphos. I went with a satin finish on the blade so I don't have to worry about "weirdness" when resharpening the edge. Thankfully I've not had to resharpen it yet as it holds it's edge very well.
I wish I could get something like that for the woods. Visiting the modern world to get online and enjoy family visits can be such a tease.... Back to sharpened branches for me!
How well would it deal with Killer tomatoes? Everyone is prepared for the Zombie Apocalypse, but nobody talks about the Great Tomato War. Wilber Finletter, hero of the Battle of San Diego could use that.
I've been looking to make my first sword purchase, and I'm looking for something that I can actually use if the need arises. Thanks to you, I believe I've found it. Thank you.
If I can finally find a decent and halfway affordable rental house I can record tons of testing footage. But seeing how ridiculous the housing market in Victoria (BC, not Australia) is and how I've already spent quite a few months without any luck, it's not looking too promising.
petition to include outtakes in more of your videos. makes me lose it every time. On a more serious note though, good review. As a saber guy who's been looking for a new one lately, this was really helpful.
Hey Skallagrim, this question doesn't have much to do with the video, but how likely is someone to break their arm if they defend a warhammer or waraxe with a shield?
Depends on what exactly the situation is, I would think. If you're using a center-grip shield then obviously your arm would be perfectly fine, the impact might just be a little jarring. If the shield is tied to your arm and the blow hit exactly where your arm is, then I'd think it would at the very least really hurt, and at worst break your arm. All depends on the angle and strength of the blow, the kind and strength of your shield, whether either of you know what they're doing (I mean, you're hardly going to want to catch the full force with your arm, deflecting the blow seems much more desireable), etc. Mind you, I'm a random guy on the internet. So yeah, probably all of what I said was 100% correct and fully fact-checked, absolutely none of this is speculation...
***** No, I'm talking about genuine warhammers/axes. They do in fact generate a lot of force, especially a flanged mace, since they are very tip-heavy and all of the force is concentrated on a small area. That a warhammer can easily break someones bones is not in doubt, questions is how much difference does a shield make.
I have been looking at sabers for a while, but this one seems like a winner just because of the knuckle guard. I am often in the habit of lightly punching my sparring partners to break a bind as it is how I would fight in real life. When will I ever get in an actual duel, probably never, but it would be nice to know my sword would allow me to fight as I train.
There work is Impeccable. I own apokatana and now I ordered the diphos. Beautifully Deadly the lot of them. Bad days are coming get prepared to defend yourself. the bullets will run out. A epidemic is coming! Thanks for making the videos bro.
I actually just purchased the zombie tools Mauler Karambit and still have a month before I receive it. I cannot find a good review or any cut tests anywhere on UA-cam but judging by your reviews of the company in general I have good faith in it
+Skallagrim hey Skall just in your opinion what do you think of the blades showcased on sunblades.com in my opinion they're pretty cool and look also very easy to handle I just was wondering what you thought on them are from a visual perspective
Skal I freaking love you. Please do the entire ZT lineup if you can (seems like they're more than happy to send you blades). I got my Zakasushi a few weeks ago and I'm absolutely in love with the thing. The D'Capitan was next on my wishlist... So this is great. Not many quality ZT reviews out there. So... what's it take for me to 'win' that one from you?! Lol.
It's great to see you struggling with words cause you can't stop smiling, absolutely fantastic. Blade wise, Gotta say, that was one of their blades I wasn't too keen on, but now I'm more than tempted, screwy customs be damned
I winced at 5:43 watching you pump the tip while it was stuck in wood. I'd prefer the same blade, longer tang and two handed katana handle. Excellent weapon.
Thank you! I was looking at the d'Capitan, after one of your previous Zombie Tools reviews. The price is good, and your thorough abuse convinced me. I believe I will invest in a d'Capitan. BTW, no more shooting your blades, Silly!
I am worried about its resistance to bullets. Could you test that?
Did Skall shoot one of his swords or something?
He shot some meat cleavers awhile back if I remember correctly.
yup he shot the cleaver (also by zombie tools) with a 7,62 mm bullet LOL
+Antoine Vello He shot a cleaver.
Yeah. he broke it and it was hilarous.
I was hoping for Skall to say: " I'm d'Capitan now."
"Close to indestructible" What caliber of bullet can this one take?
BTW, I don't think we will ever forget about that.
If you're a Mister Balisong, does that mean when you spread your legs, your 'blade' gets revealed?
Same
teach your kids to collect swords and theyll never have money for drugs
Tru dat!!
If a kid has a sword in each hand, he has no more hands left to pick up drugs with....
I know somebody that smoked one marijuana and got pregnant. She wouldn't have ruined her life if she only took your advice
Unless u dont consider pot then sorry it's a lie u can do both sorry if u know how to budget
🤣👍👍👍
"This you can really abuse
To your heart's content
If you so choose"
Is a poet side of you showing Skal?
"You'll have to go out of your mind to damage the edge" That's the whole idea of the Zombie Tools. the edge is unnecessarily thick because in the name of survival I personally rather have a blade which I can trust my life with that it doesn't break when things get rough.
I agree. Vs fast wild swinging

I once met a girl on a trip
who tested the strength of my tip.
Gnawing and biting,
spontaneous igniting,
Hadouken, takedown and back flip.

Sounds like some rather abusive testing.
Great value eminem over here.
It does not count as "ending him rightly" unless you can unscrew the pommel and throw it vigorously at your opponent
Can you imagine a warhammer made with pommels?
this seems like an amazing idea :)
I like this idea. A warhammer with a full length threaded shaft for a handle. You could then screw dozens of pommels to it all the way up its length. Use interrupted threads so you only needed a half or quarter turn to unscrew and remove each one. You could end a dozen men (or zombies) rightly.
Someone has to make one and send him, so he can make a review xD
It's called a murder-stroke.
That saber looks impressive definitely worth the price...
I wish zombie tools would come out with a rapier
Nexfero I heard Matt Easton was consulting for a Zombie Tools spadroon
Nexfero not very effective against zombies tho.
@@guywithakalashnikov1505 Solution is easy: flamberge blade rapier
That wouldn't make any sense.
I know I’m five years late, and I’m sorry to crush dreams, but ZT only makes practical weapons.
Best part about the sword is that even in fencing the guard is still kinda useful and that's great
I love the bloopers at the end, should include them in more of your videos just to break up the serious tone once and a while.
so pretty
RIP Reaver Cleaver, I miss you Q.Q
they did send him a new one with a don't shoot mark.
that has to be my all time favorite sword
Thfe strenpft offf ifs thiph was lacking, and that's why it failed against the bullets.
x)
Was it a zombie angel?
RuSosan
nah its weakness was abviously the lack of a threaded pommel.
The scenery and landscapes where you live are amazing!
[insert snide remark about green screen]
-Lovely beach though.-
***** There was actually footage of him actually oot and aboot.
***** Do you simply refuse to give me that? That I just stated that there was actual nature footage in there? I does not exclude the use of a green screen in other parts of the video, you know.
Either way, have a nice day.
When he was chopping, there were some fantastic shots of him on a pebbled beach with woods right up to the Ocean. Cmon, guys.
+Will 'n Co there is no green screen whatsoever in this video. What you see in the background is wallpaper.
But did you test the strength of the tip? ;)
that's gonna be the new "End him rightly"
5:28 yeah?
watch till the end
i'm crying :D
just the tip can end a wench rightly!
Yeah, I tested the strength of the tip by repeatedly thrusting into wood too...
hehehehehe
*rimshot*
I just acquired this D'Capitan after watching this video years ago and it's well worth the money.

Usually I prefer two-handed swords, but this saber really feels like someting I'd enjoy to have.

lancer D I know. I just love two-handed swords. Personal preference.
Lord JS Well, you can see from my avatar that I do have a soft spot fror my longswords as well
ALWAYS test your tip to ensure durability. c:
A fine drow blade if I ever saw one.
drizzt would approve
"I tested the strength of the tip"
I'm so sorry Skall. But this sound just like "They're taking the hobbits to Isengard"
Love the video Skall! Keep it up!
You should do more outtakes on your current videos, they are golden
A video about how gory and bloody medival battles were compared to movies and videogames would be really cool to see :)
yes we need this!
Loved the outtakes. I can't even begin to detail how many takes I do my videos...annoying, but you're right - speaking is a skill!
"I tested the strength of the tipthpfphhff" - Skallagrim 6/29/16
I am still a huge fan of your Knecht . what a blade . good to see you cutting again.
If I get enough money to buy swords, I'm definitely getting this one. Durable, functional, and looks friggin awesome.
Yes!!
It seems like the shoulder is doing much better. I'm glad to see you out and about again doing abusive testing.
Skallagrim, do an analysis of the weapons and fighting styles in Warframe!
The more I see you review Zombie Tools the more I like them!
I like that shirt.
ZOMBIE TOOLS

I still really love my custom ZT Diphos. I went with a satin finish on the blade so I don't have to worry about "weirdness" when resharpening the edge. Thankfully I've not had to resharpen it yet as it holds it's edge very well.

Did you test its durability with the .30 cal?
I love it when he tests the strength of the tip with powerful thrusts!
Dam it, you almost got the upper half of the bottle to sit on the cap. So close. Maybe next time.
Was thinking the same
Might have happened if the cutting stand had been larger and more stable.
I really like the addition of the outtakes at the end - funny stuff! I'm still drooling over the ZT blades; so nice.
Outtakes are a great addition! Ha!
I've looked at so many of these now because of you, I've wanted several but i think this is the one I'll actually buy.
That's a slightly weirdo design of the clasical european infantry briquets
The new way they do the leather wrap is so nice looking
did you test the tip's capacity to end rightly?
0/10 doesn't unscrew
+Humanity Network but would a bullet be considered"ending it rightly"?
Nope, Not a pommel.
I like your profile picture
+Trisha Chimera if it's not a pommel then you aren't ending him rightly 😀
Fell in love with this blade as soon as I saw it, thanks for reviewing.
The outtakes are the reason why this video has no dislikes
No dislikes? What strange kind of parallel earth are you living on? :)
+Skallagrim Your earth, but... FROM THE PAST! *dramatic sound effects
Love the review, I feel like your getting a lot more concise when you talk and are talking with a lot more confidence! Awesome job man!
Hey Skall, do you think you could add more testing footage?
Or even better, bring back the separate testing videos?
If I can finally find a decent and halfway affordable rental house I can record tons of testing footage. But seeing how ridiculous the housing market in Victoria (BC, not Australia) is and how I've already spent quite a few months without any luck, it's not looking too promising.

Fair enough.
Well, best of luck with that.
Thank you for replying!
Well made video, Skall. I really appreciate the editing. It's simple but effective.
That ending had me laughing so hard

Hey Skallagrim, this question doesn't have much to do with the video, but how likely is someone to break their arm if they defend a warhammer or waraxe with a shield?
Nice one!
As far as I know, you can get broken ribs or even internal bleeding if you're shot wearing a bulletproof vest.
Depends on what exactly the situation is, I would think.
If you're using a center-grip shield then obviously your arm would be perfectly fine, the impact might just be a little jarring.

Depends on the angle of deflection and if the arm was braced or not. Still probably not something fun to face 😔
+割烹着の悪魔 it does not have to be huge a small war hammer can generate a lot of force

we need a film/series/anime with this zombies tools!

So... what's it take for me to 'win' that one from you?! Lol.
Just the tip.
Tip strength is a major concern. At least that's what I've been told.
Excellently done review, as always.
Greatly appreciated the outtakes!
That is a beautiful blade. But that sheath is hideous!
Yep, that's what I wanted to say.
Stephen S buy the leather sheaths you can get
Frazer Fastin Yeah, the leather ones look much nicer.
(I'm not looking to buy though, just appreciating the craftsmanship.)

i wish ZT grips didn't look like electrical tape
Acherontic Arts looks like leather to me.
Acherontic Arts thy just look like that in some pics in real life they look like leather.
Thanks Frazer. I was afraid it was just leathery tape.

Did you just say "aluminum"?
where did he say that
Yes, that's how it's pronounced in North America. Deal with it. :)

I could watch another our of your outtakes :D so much fun

Awesome review. Also Yay outtakes!
Nice one skall, loved the bloopers😊
I winced at 5:43 watching you pump the tip while it was stuck in wood. I'd prefer the same blade, longer tang and two handed katana handle. Excellent weapon.
Those outtakes were the best.
If you want to touch up the finish you can clean/degrease the blade and splotch it with gunbluing (use a q-tip). I've done this on one of mine.
I loved the bloopers.
Really great review! Appreciate honest reviews
I'd really like to see Schola Gladiatora get some Zombietoolz merch. See what vids get made.
Absolutely great video! I love all of your reviews.
We are going to need some more outtakes.
Just bought it-- time for 6-8 weeks of stressful post-buy review watching.
Hey Skall, when you go back to reprofile the bevels, you should make sure to keep the blade cool to you don't ruin the temper in it
It'd be cool to see a Viking style sword (with a modern zombie slayer touch) by Zombie Tools.
Thank you! I was looking at the d'Capitan, after one of your previous Zombie Tools reviews. The price is good, and your thorough abuse convinced me. I believe I will invest in a d'Capitan.
BTW, no more shooting your blades, Silly!
I m glad that even though zombie tools have been very generous to you,your reviews seem legitnd impartial.Well done!!
