daizyblackbelt Posted October 11, 2006 Posted October 11, 2006 what do you all think of my new baby?http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y293/daizyblackbelt/Karate/DSC01039.jpghttp://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y293/daizyblackbelt/Karate/DSC01043.jpghttp://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y293/daizyblackbelt/Karate/DSC01042.jpghttp://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y293/daizyblackbelt/Karate/DSC01041.jpgit's spanish navaja fighting knife. it's a full 20 inches from the tip to knob at the end. the blade is 9 inches long by itself.It makes me pretty happy in its sheer deadly impracticallity, but i'm also learning how to use it (with a wooden replica) and it's a lot of fun.anyone else know anything about navajas?
lordtariel Posted October 11, 2006 Posted October 11, 2006 pretty... I don't think I've ever seen a folding knife that big before. There's no place like 127.0.0.1
Rainbow_Warrior Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 Well , as a guy with Spaniard roots (half spanish , half italian) , and spanish heritage. I would say that In my country our cowboys ( named ´´gauchos´´) used knifes derivated from navaja ( and pretty similars) in one on one fights to dead. One fighting technique is covering your left arm with a blanked/cloack/etc and use it as a shield...the other one is to carry the big knife and fight....You also may like spanish sevillanas ´´ The evil may win a round , but not the fight ´´
bushido_man96 Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 That's a pretty blade there. Are you getting structured instruction on how to use it? That's pretty cool. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
daizyblackbelt Posted October 12, 2006 Author Posted October 12, 2006 i am indeed learning how to use it. as i said Quote It makes me pretty happy in its sheer deadly impracticallity, but i'm also learning how to use it (with a wooden replica) and it's a lot of fun. and i'm not just making it up on my own either (like i ever would ), i've got an actual instructor who is familiar with navaja work, and am picking it up with a bunch of mutual friends. it's a blast so far.

Take as much advantage of that as you can. There's no place like 127.0.0.1
