subject: 33 Inch Twin Blade Baton Short Sword Review [print this page] What a 33 Inch Twin Blade Baton Short Sword is modeled after is what many today refer to as a "police baton." This is basically a stick that is about an arm's length made from wood, heavy plastic or steel that many law enforcement agencies carry conducting anti-crowd movements as a method of non-lethal defense.
The baton can be used in a number of maneuvers including defensive blocking as well as offensively striking, jabbing, thrusting and used applying restraining arm locks on targets. This product, however is a baton with a hidden sword.
Place in History
The baton is an ancient weapon that has seen little improvement since pre-historic times other than the inclusion of a hidden blade in more recent times. There are two reasons that blades have been concealed inside of batons; the first merely the need for providing lethal stealth, since typically a wooden baton was not the weapon of choice for the quick dispatch of an enemy, even by a skilled assassin.
However, hiding a blade within a baton would provide any assassin the necessary killing tool to make the task quick and efficient. Without a hidden blade, an assassin would have to pummel a target severely taking up a great deal of time that would not be necessary with one deadly jab of a sharp blade.
Although much of the Orient was ruled by a warrior class through the late 1800s, the public display and carrying of swords began to become politicized in the late 1800s as societies in Japan, Korea and China sought to legally ban public display and use of these "sidearm" weapons much as took place in western portions of the U.S. banning the public carrying and use of handguns. Therefore, carrying a concealed weapon like the 33 Inch Twin Blade Baton Short Sword became a popular choice for those seeking to have a weapon readily at hand that could easily produce a lethal strike.
During the same period in the west, smaller guns such as derringers became popular since they could be hidden easily. Additionally, since the carrying of swords became pass in Western culture, blades began to become concealed in a number of devices such as walking sticks and yes, batons. Unlike their close cousins the Billy club, baton swords were not merely used as cudgels since if a non-lethal knock over the head was not the intent, perhaps withdrawing the hidden blade to cut a target's throat might be.
Fabulous Features
The 33 Inch Twin Blade Baton Short Sword described here is actually two swords made from one piece of steel. The two blades fit into one another inserted into the other's handle. And when formed together create a larger staff with high quality concealed blades.
