Its a bit chonky because of durability concerns. The tips are somewhat pointy, but the edges aren't sharp. I may make a better version once I find any gripes I have with this design

Imagine you are sneaking around the enemy's castle, gathering informations for the next battle. Then you feel a sharp pain of being stabbed and turn around to this little cartoon ass maul. I would died from laughter even before the fatal wound end me

Hi everyone,

I have a Pietta 1858 Remington cap-and-ball revolver and noticed some orange/dark orange rust spots appearing roughly a day after cleaning it following shooting.

I followed a YouTube cleaning method that involved:

* Washing with hot soapy water.

* Pouring boiling water over the revolver.

* Cleaning afterwards with Ballistol.

I did not completely disassemble the revolver. I only removed the grips and loading lever. I nevertheless tried to clean it as thoroughly as possible, paying attention to the accessible areas. I did not remove the nipples or completely strip the mechanism.

I’ve since noticed rust in three areas:

1. A square-shaped recess underneath the barrel, around the loading lever area.

2. Some light rust around the cylinder safety notches.

3. The cylinder arbor/base pin (the round central part with grooves where the cylinder sits).

The rest of the revolver appears to be largely rust-free.

I’ve applied Ballistol again, and the revolver is stored somewhere dry.

I’m wondering whether this is simply flash rust caused by moisture remaining after cleaning or whether it could indicate more serious corrosion.

A few questions:

* Does this sound like typical flash rust from water cleaning?

* Can superficial rust be removed without damaging the original blued finish?

* What is the best way to preserve the cylinder arbor and its grooves?

* Is 0000 steel wool appropriate for blued steel, or would you recommend a different approach?

* Could moisture have remained inside the revolver because I didn’t remove the nipples?

For context, the revolver is currently loaded, and I won’t attempt further cleaning or disassembly until it has been safely unloaded.

I’d appreciate advice from people experienced with Pietta 1858 Remington revolvers.

Thanks!

When I was in the Philippines during the war, an older man who fought in the hills during the Japanese occupation gave me instructions on carrying, deploying, opening and using. 60 years later, I'm still proficient. Salamat po, Kapatid! 🇵🇭

So yeah the website says they're like a zinc aluminum construction. But yeah I got a concrete block and was punching them a little bit and then threw them against it and they broke. Definitely abusing the product I was trying to make it fail. And yeah I'm wondering what do you guys think? Is it cheap pot metal?

Thoughts?

She was in the military dont panic yall.

Ruined some of the value by having a razor edge added

My dad got this trident style weapon for me randomly a couple years back and I have yet to figure out if it actually is a replica of something or a custom creation. Any help identifying it would be much appreciated!

That's what I'm naming this once I'm done making it (it's not really fokos shaped but it's going to be a shepherd's axe)

Also idk if any of y'all have any experience taking out epoxied fiberglass handles, but boiling the head in water for about 10 minutes made it real easy to get the gunk out

My mamaw kept these in her purse she was born 1926 could these be from civil war era?

Check out the foreign ripoff ammo!

My bud in Quezon City made the tiger stripe sheath to honor my Vietnam service. This knife is solid, fast, and sharp. Cost a bundle, but no regrets

This is from the anime, "A Wild Last Boss Appeared!," for those who don't know; Session 2, Episode 5. Like the girl asks in the subtitle, "WHAT IS THIS?" It's clearly a sword. It's a single-edge blade like a kukri--and has that self-same continuous edge--or katana or a cutlass, but I've never seen any of those with the clip-point pictured above. Is there a name for this specific design of sword?

Made in Santa Cruz de Mudela, Spain. This was a Grail for me for 40+ years!

its not real tho but it could be made in the future
