    • @DarkLordDiablos
      @DarkLordDiablos 10 років тому +6

      They use the basketball because of the density and resistance it can give due to the properties of compressed air.
      Anyone who has been hit in a soft area but either a football or basketball will know it hurts.
      Using one for this test shows how sharp their swords are, filling it with meat would require them to cut it open and thus weakening its structural integrity.

In fact, the only real complaint i have is that the sheath does not come with any sort of device so that would allow you to strap the sword to a belt. But, that's not a huge deal, considering could probably make one easily enough.

The size and width of the blade is staggering, and is like a Katana on steroids. This sword is a beast of a weapon. This is probably in the top 5 most fearsome single-edged weapons that are available.

  • @cpu46
    @cpu46 13 років тому

    @MadPyrotechnicus There are several reasons it bends that far; the fact that the bending is balanced throughout the entire length of the blade and not focused on a single point as well as the fact that type of steel used (1055 carbon steel) is a medium to high carbon steel (.50-.60 carbon content, steels with .60 carbon content are generally used in springs) so it has the right strength to ductility balance to bend without deforming.

    Hi i am from Switzerland i buy your Grosse messer from a reseller from you. after few duels and demostration. things start to get shacking i kontakt the reseller he said i have to send it back to him for inspecktion. To send it back it will cost me over 120 $. So i decide to fix it to my self and i did with some welding and epoxi. So after all i have to say your grosse messer is good but not that good as you put it on this video. You can not do those kind of things everytime without getting some damage to the sword. So to all people out thier just inspeckt your sword everytime you use it. So you dont injure your self. Thx and have a nice time using your Grosse Messer.

    • @edi9892
      @edi9892 7 років тому

      I like their videos, but when it comes to their products, I'm really skeptical, since their quality control sucks. My Shamshir came with an oblique crossguard, protrusions and decoloration etc. and I've seen sellers that warn that CS has too many rattly guards that they can't even check themselves and sort out, since that would be too costly sending all those blowouts back. There are also plenty of videos of CS blades breaking or getting seriously notched. Moreover, when it comes to fittings and especially handling, other manufacturers are simply far better.

I've joked with my friends that I received the original blade that was bent to show the durability of the heat treated blade. Guess I have the tried and true version, eh?

    Grosse Messer translates to large cutter in German. In parallel to the "da dao" in Chinese, which means "big blade", aka the "Chinese War Sword" also by CS. These were meant for use with conscripted peasants, who tend to have good upper body strength, and unlike double edge swords, these need only minimum training to create a formidable opponent.

  • @stridingshadow
    @stridingshadow 14 років тому

    @SweStuff94 Sharpness depends on... you guessed it, sharpening! So if a grosse Messer is made out of quality steel and is well sharpened by a skilled specialist, it will cut very well. European Longswords were generally less sharp than katanas, because they were designed to be swinged at armoured opponents (among others), which would quickly dull the blade anyway. Many longsword techniques involved gripping one's own sword's blade (through gloves of course) as well.

    @allshallbelosttoyou there is a lot to consider.. like the length the curve and handle.. of course if it's one or two handed counts a lot too.. but still you can have the worlds most durable and sharpest warblade and can't cut a mere plasticbottle half.. on the other you can have cheap pocket knife and get it through steel plate (if the knife itself can handle it without breaking).. so the way of effective cutting is only a matter of technique and how well can you handle your blade.

    COLD STEEL makes knives that you can use, not only do they look like original pieces of history but they work even better perhaps. This monster is a 4 pound sword, i'd rather be carrying this around when zombies come than that katana on the walking dead. Very cool piece of history remade right. They test their products vigorously, so you know they work, worth the money. I came across em looking for a pocket knife and ended up a collector, they have tons of cool stuff.
