I'm not sure this belongs

This is a Cold Steel 1 lb throwing spike

Anodized for sickness.

It'll go 4 inches into a brand new telephone pole.

Takes me 15 minutes to wiggle it out.

They make the big brother at 2 lbs.

Coffee & Lucky Dog Fixed Blade

Enjoying a Forth & Further evening coffee in the backyard with my Lucky Dog RanchDog pocket fixed blade. It's a cool speyblade in 3V steel with a micarta handle that fits in your pocket.

Hi, pls help?

Dug these out of my storage & they're 98% rusted. I've soaked them in WD40 bit they still aren't coming out clean. What can I do OR where can I go to learn how to clean these?

Two handed machete?

https://preview.redd.it/kigcwcbqtrnd1.jpg?width=500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2641f554d07bc5dec8cf05a73ea8338a90638041

I finally found what I considered to be the perfect machete, but after watching Joe X's video on it, it's apparent that they recently switched from manufacturing it in South Africa with 1055 steel to China with 65mn steel, and the handle crumbled just from him using it. I was lucky enough to get the South Africa version, but I want to know that if I need to, I can replace it with something similar. The Fiskars machete is pretty much what I'm looking for, but it really bothers me that they don't tell you what kind of steel they use. The Condor Yoshimi looks good, but it's $200 and has a a blade similar to a tanto point, which I don't like. It's important for the handle to be long enough for two hands because I like to be able to stop the blade mid-air without straining my forearms. It feels like it should be common sense to me.

Trying to sell swords bought from china

Hi I have few swords which I bought many years ago, and wish to sell them if anyone's interested?

One of them is a final fantasy buster replica bought from a UK seller.

And 2 other katanas unique collectibles.

Exactly where can I use to sell them I didn't know the rules when I posted it on ebay and my account got banned :( which had many positive reviews.

Is gumtree OK they don't specify on description what is not allowed.

Anyway thanks.
