After you watch the above, make sure to watch my good friend Eric illustrate why you should leave this feat to the skilled pirates like meself! Yarr!

Hahaha..
John, your pretty darn good. But i want to know how many times you cut yourself before you mastered that technique!

Lupulin Threshold Shift
lupulin threshold shift \lu·pu·lin thresh·old shift\ n
1. When a once extraordinarily hoppy beer now seems pedestrian.
2. The phenomenon a person has when craving more bitterness in beer.
3. The long-term exposure to extremely hoppy beers; if excessive or prolonged, a habitual dependence on hops will occur.
4. When a "Double IPA" just is not enough

Surprisingly, I have been fortunate enough to avoid the inevitable thus far. I am confident my day will come though. After all, every good pirate must loose an eye at some point.Blktre wrote:Hahaha..

quite the hobby you picked up there John. I'm sure the Mrs loves it. I think Monette would rather me own a Harley that dispenses home brew then to start doing that.
so, I guess Eric now carries a change of clothes with him when he hangs w/ the Monaghan's?
Okay, sorry, I'm done. But that's one crazy way to open a bottle my man.
Thanks!

WTF??
The French guy used the back of his sabre not the cutting edge. Did you put a big nick in the blade? Look and see how many copy cats there are in the similar videos.
Opportunity favors the prepared mind

It is traditional to use the back of the blade, but holding a basket hilt cutlass backwards and maintaining any level of coordination with it would be quite a challenge. My sword is unsharpened, so it may as well be the back of a blade. I don't think a quality sharpened blade would chip though if used properly. Sabrage takes very little force when done correctly.
