What kind of sword do you carry in the bush? Do you prefer a spear instead?
Well sword goes better aesthetically with my fedora and fingerless leather gloves.
Spear goes better with my wool cape and vibram five fingers.
My favourite of course is my thousand folded wakazashi as it's a good balance between size/weight and utility, you know for dealing with those pesky skin walkers.

I use a machete to clear light brush innawoods sometimes, does that count as a "sword"?
>>714909
I carry a machete too for utility but sometimes autism out and role play with myself running through the woods attacking trees pretending they're people.

Spear. Always a spear. My fat neckbeard ass finds a big enough shrub to hide in and then I wait. After a while my deodorant wears off and my grandma says the neighbors complain and she sprays me with a hose until I go back to the basement.

Tactical from YouTube, is that you?
A pork sword

I need no edged tools when I go out. None of my habits require them. None of my equipment needs them.

have fun sharpening that after every swing.
shit gets dull cutting air.

You might think I'm bullshitting, but I killed a wild hog last month with a sog spear tip on a broom handle.
I do use a sword set like this for bushwhacking though. Surprised its lasted like 7 years in the wilderness.

at least it won't break if you smack two together.
but frankly katana should be laminated steel.

>there aren't quality steels that will hold an edge and won't be brittle as fuck
1095 is where it's at, senpai
>>715272
1095 is too brittle to make swords out of
sorry
>>715272
>1095
it is known to break on wood let alone steel.
it has fine edge retention if you only plan on hacking flesh with it and never parry or something.
not good for combat not even with differential heat treat.

i have my trusted penis as a weapon

mustard race here! muffugah jungle hunter. i batton the shit out of logs 20" thick. this thing is a beast. not only will i survive the apocalypse with this, i feel, with my skill, i could easily take out a grizzly bear or pack of wolves with just this sword. making this the ultimate in self defense too. best of all i got it used, but in near mint condition for only $250. msrp is $700. going to upgrade it. skeletonizing it by drilling holes along the length to save wieght. also going to do a custom zombie duracoat paint job.

try smacking it sideways nignog like you know in fencing
unless you think swordsmen block with the edge then we have nothing to talk about
>>715347
>wood
all i see is bamboo btw
it relates to hardwood they made shields of like... nothing
>>715970
Clements you retard!
Try some real fencing some time.
>>715983
i meant parry not block damn anyways you shouldn't block with straight edge either but at an angle
and even if you present your edge your opponent will hit your flat anyways eventually
which is why 1095 steel is shit for swords
it will snap like glass if hardened

This is a good post, I think it deserves at least a few replies. Cmon, guys.
>>715347
Fuck me, it's such a pleasure seeing someone who actually knows how to handle a weapon review a sword rather than some fat american guy clumsily flailing at some water bottles.
I personally take a Kingdom Hearts keyblade reproduction when I go out into my stepdad's backyard. The perfect cutting tool.
>>715347
what is he cutting? giant stalks of celery?
>>714907
this truly is an excellent meme reply to an ok meme OP. truly under rated. is this place actually serious now?

>using a sword on wolves
just bodyslam them
>Cold Steel
No.
Spear, I made it for fun mostly but its turned out to be angread walking stick. I tempered it for maximum toughness so I walk with it point down.
I'm not sure why you guys are worried about looking cool in the woods, maybe you should just walk around the mall in nice cloths.
>>715097
Actually own these exact swords, they are overall mall ninja trash but I've used them pretty effectively as an edge to abuse and shit when innawoods.
>carrying a sword /out/
>not carrying a superior Klingon Bat'leth to deal with all those pesky critters
Get on my level city dwellers
If you have room to carry a sword, you may as well swap it out for a machete + shotgun/rifle.
People did carry swords when /out/ before firearms were commonplace.
For defense of robbers, but also for sticking boar from horseback.
