  • Machete Fighting in Haiti, Cuba, and Colombia
    MEMORIAS Revista digital de Historia y Arqueología desde el Caribe colombiano Peinillas y participación popular: Pelea de machetes en Haiti, Cuba y Colombia 1 Peinillas and Popular Participation: Machete fighting in Haiti, Cuba, and Colombia ∗ Dr. T. J. Desch-Obi Recibido: Agosto 27 de 2009 Aceptado: Noviembre 8 de 2009 RESUMEN: Este artículo explora la historia de esgrima con machetes entre los afro- descendientes en Haití, Cuba y Colombia. El machete, como un ícono sagrado de éxito individual y de guerra en África, se convierte para los esclavizados Africanos en una herramienta usada en la explotación de su trabajo. Ellos retuvieron la maestría en esta arma a través de la extensión del arte de pelea con palos. Esta maestría en las armas blancas ayudó a transformar el machete en un importante instrumento en las batallas nacionales de esas tres naciones. Aún en el comienzo del siglo veinte, el arte de esgrima con machetes fue una práctica social muy expandida entre los Afro-Caucanos, que les permitía demostrar su honor individual, como también hacer importantes contribuciones a las batallas nacionales, como la Colombo-Peruana. Aunque la historia publicada de las batallas nacionales realza la importancia de los líderes políticos y militares, los practicantes de estas formas de esgrima perpetuaron importantes contra- memorias que enfatizan el papel de soldados Afros quienes con su maestría con el machete pavimentaron el camino para la victoria nacional. PALABRAS CLAVES: Esgrima, afro-descendientes, machete. ABSTRACT: This article explores the history of fencing with machetes among people of African descent in Haiti, Cuba, and Colombia. The machete, a sacred icon of individual success and warfare in Africa, became for enslaved Africans a tool used in exploiting their labor.

This guide has two goals: • Explain the current California knife laws using plain language. • Help individuals identify whether a knife is or is not “illegal.” This information is presented as a brief synopsis of the law and not as legal advice. Use of the guide does not create a lawyer/client relationship. Laws are interpreted differently by enforcement officers, prosecuting attorneys, and judges.

I have a Ruana Smoke Jumper and wear it regularly when working outside or just spending time in the woods. You couldn’t ask for a better short- bladed "belt" knife. Short bladed, under 4", will cut nearly everything that a person needs to cut. However, what if you don’t have a belt onto which to secure that sheath knife? Maybe you’re wearing sweat pants, coveralls or another beltless outfit. Or what if a knife on your belt is a bit too obvious in this politically correct world? Do you grab your folding knife with clip or your neck knife? Though both of these are viable options, I think there is an even better option.

  • The Dilucot Method a Clear Shot at an Excellent Edge
    THE DILUCOT METHOD A clear shot at an excellent edge The Dilucot method is unequivocally one of the most artisan ways to sharpen a straight razor. With some experience, results can be obtained that easily withstand comparison with results of high-technological synthetic sharpening setups. Those who went through the learning curve of shaving with a traditional straight razor, know that within the potential advantages of the straight razor also lie its disadvantages. Modern cartridge razors from the supermarket demand little user skill. The traditional straight razor offers us the promise of a perfectly smooth shave that leaves the skin in better condition than any other method, but at the same time, the potential for messing things up is dangerously more present than with modern shaving gear. The same is true for the Dilucot method. It is an acquired skill. At the beginning, expect variable outcomes with peaks and valleys in both directions. The challenge lies in reaching the desired keenness. The legendary smoothness of the Coticule edge arrives free. Don’t expect to meet that keenness at every attempt right from the start. But not to despair, Dilucot honing is not ardu- ous, and even if you don’t get exceptional results, your razor will have an impeccable bevel that needs minimal refinement. For that, you can transition to the final (taped) stages of the Unicot method or rely on a pasted strop. These are both easy ways to get past the sharpness barrier. Note that the latter will replace the characteristic Coticule feel with its own. At its essence, the Dilucot method exemplifies Zen-like sim- The Coticule rock contains billions of spessartine crys- plicity.

I immediately went in and was delighted at the chance to admire a won- derful exhibition of the Museum’s magnificent collection of about a hundred Japanese blades, all recently restored in Japan. Once back in Cambridge, I set out to organize a visit to the exhibition for members of our kendo dojo, Tsurugi-Bashi. Although, as one might expect, many of our kendoka have an interest in Japanese swords, none of us is really knowledgeable, let alone an expert or collector. We therefore needed some preparation and guidance in order fully to appreciate the visit. In the spirit of encouraging people to find out more about the subject, I there- fore requested that members wishing to join the guided tour carry out a little research about some aspect of the Japanese sword, write it up as a short essay and present it to the others.

  • State V. Harris, No
    IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF KANSAS No. 116,515 STATE OF KANSAS, Appellee, v. CHRISTOPHER M. HARRIS, Appellant. SYLLABUS BY THE COURT The residual clause "or any other dangerous or deadly cutting instrument of like character" in K.S.A. 2019 Supp. 21-6304 is unconstitutionally vague because it fails to provide an explicit and objective standard of enforcement. Review of the judgment of the Court of Appeals in an unpublished opinion filed January 19, 2018. Appeal from Sedgwick District Court; JOHN J. KISNER, JR., judge. Opinion filed July 17, 2020. Judgment of the Court of Appeals affirming in part and reversing in part the district court is reversed. Judgment of the district court is reversed, and the case is remanded with directions. Kasper C. Schirer, of Kansas Appellate Defender Office, argued the cause, and Kimberly Streit Vogelsberg and Clayton J. Perkins, of the same office, were on the briefs for appellant. Matt J. Maloney, assistant district attorney, argued the cause, and Marc Bennett, district attorney, and Derek Schmidt, attorney general, were with him on the briefs for appellee. The opinion of the court was delivered by STEGALL, J.: In Kansas, it is a crime for a convicted felon to possess a knife. At first blush, the statute appears straightforward. But the statute defines a knife as "a 1 dagger, dirk, switchblade, stiletto, straight-edged razor or any other dangerous or deadly cutting instrument of like character." K.S.A. 2019 Supp. 21-6304. And figuring out when an object is a "knife" because it is a "dangerous or deadly cutting instrument of like character" is not as easy as one might suppose.
