NEW EPISODE: Premieres Sunday, July 12th, at 10am EST (link in bio):

“Discover The Bowie Khukri Barong Hybrid | RMJ Tactical Sapper Bowie Knife | Linton Custom Camp Bowie Knife”

https://youtu.be/oSmghh0y8eU?is=4IKseFGyUxwqCc7S

Bowie Knife Fighting has long sought the near mythological cleaving capabilities of the Khukri knife and the Barong Sword. Knife Designer Chris Linton has created a hybrid that integrates the best in all three. Named The Camp Bowie, the design was picked up for production by legendary tomahawk maker, RMJ Tactical. The production version is called The Sapper Bowie.

In this episode I am looking to explore:
- the specific transitions from one design template to another
- best handling options
- speed and liveliness capabilities

A very powerful and ambitious design, come watch the episode and explore the unique strengths of this innovative Bowie/Khukri/Barong Design.

I hope you enjoy this video! 🙏🏽🔥👊🏽

Family time is always the best part of Blade, but I am particularly proud of my young man this year, chip off the old block.

MAGNIFICENT GIFT: from my very good friend and brother, @rdburkh.art. Such a good friend to not only remember my birthday, but to also send me these gifts from the heart!

- RMJ Tactical Wyvern Short Sword (a modern re-imagining of the Filipino Sansibar)

- Two Davidoff Late Hour Churchill Vitola cigars (my favorites!)

The Wyvern, out of the box, handles extremely well - quick, substantial, light when it needs to be, forceful when called upon, sharp all throughout.

My good brother Ryan - THANK YOU for these amazing gifts! Grateful to you, always. 🙏🏽🔥👊🏽#filipinomartialarts #cigars

QUIET CALIBRATION - we measure the effort, but overlook the approximations. This is the difference between cutting and cutting through.

The exact moment the sword transfers from your pinky to your thumb, the precise moment your hips rotate and the shoulders release then reposition - these are the quiet considerations of a bladesman. Any fool can swing a blade, and still become a lesser man for it. The devoted few fulfill their studies through the uncelebrated tedium, acquiring the sacred knowledge that mimics the sound of gibberish to the uninitiated.

In a world that runs on deliberate inaccuracies, a bladesman practices quiet and calibrated precision.

The Bowie Khukri - in 80Crv2 with an acid etched and two tone patina finish, exceptionally executed by Christopher Linton @ospreyknifeandtool. On loan from my good friend and bladesman @rdburkh.art.

Paired with the impeccable @myfathercigars Le Bijou 1922 in torpedo vitola.

Much to study. Much.

Review and episode pending. #rolandoestocada #knives
