The one guy is holding a Kukri knife, but he doesn't look like a Gurkha to me. 

Cheers

Not just any old kukri, but a big assed kukri! I have a machete with a kukri blade that ain't that big. It looks almost like the kukris the Ghurkas use to behead oxen for their ceremonies.

The other guy he's facing off with has a pretty damned big knife, too. I guess when you haven't mastered technique, you have to make up for the shortfall with size.

I usually carry a boar spear when I'm out and about the property here. It has an 18 inch blade mounted to a 6 foot shaft. I like the reach, because I probably haven't mastered technique, either. Besides, I can whack 'em with the butt of it if I don't feel like peeling them open at the moment... I kid you not, it will wear a bear out, so I don't worry about anything smaller. I'm not a real man, though, not like that kid that worked for me that ran a bear out of his truck with just a switch...

For Londoners, I recommend shillaleighs or sjamboks, You can wear a sword wielding motherfucker out with either of those, without having to slice him up. A steel-shod solid ash or hickory shovel handle will do the job, too, and doubles as a mighty fine walking stick, for the perambulators amongst them.
