    Von Tempsky was NZs Custer, from a long lineage of Prussian professional soldiers. A man of his time. Met his nemesis at Te Ngutu o te Manu, a raid of fatal consequence.

    Doesn't sound like an infomercial at all. If you love something, you talk about it on video. I grew up competing in Kendo all of my childhood life in Asia and also studied the Sayok System in the PI and studied under Grand Master Dr. Remy Presas and competed for many years in Arnis Kali. I now work as a Defense Dept. Contractor and teach various Knife Fighting techniques so I love it when people talk about their favorite knives and love the history of various edge weapons. Thanks for sharing Hickok. As usual, I support your videos and you keep it interesting and educational for us.

    I'm an Aussie and I pronounce it "svord", bugger how the New Zealanders say it.
    I love my Von Tempsky, though I had to mod it a little, first up you should add a lanyard to the handle, as you don't want this big brute to fly out of your hand during heavy chopping.
    Second, add some camo form to the handle to dampen the handle vibration.
    I am also not really happy with the sheath, I am going to replace it eventually but will suffer the factory one for the moment.
    I also have found Ballistol the best rust preventive for the blades, smells like cat piss when applied but is really good at stopping the L-6 or 15n20 from rusting.

    Von Tempsky was respected by his enemies, even the Maori Chief whose warriors killed him.
    Although the corpses of some other soldiers were eaten, Tempsky was held in high esteem by the Maori, and Kimble Bent said that Titokowaru ordered that Tempsky's body be placed onto a funeral pyre in the centre of the marae.[8] In 1965, Mr Tonga Awikau, aged 101, described how as a child he had seen this cremation of 20 British dead, including Major von Tempksy [1].
    The local Maori returned his sword sheath to his widow and it is held these days by the Thomsons in Hawkes Bay.[citation needed]

    The Kiwis are probably too polite to correct you but Mauri is pronounced like mowree - (mow as in cow) - although it's probably impossible for a 'Merican to truly imitate the Kiwi accent so probably an exercise in futility anyway....

    After watching your video, i tried to buy one, and no one had any, ha ! You increased the demand so much that they could not keep up with production. Thus i put in multiple orders with different vendors- long story short, i now own 5 of them. I will give 2 to my son's and keep 2 for myself ( one to use, the other for display ), and number 5 not sure yet.
    If your interested there is a guy in Germany ( Chris ) who on RUclips is 'BlackForest Ghost'. He lives in a small village in the BF. He produces his video's in English & German... he really put mainly knives through quit a workout, testing their worth. He did a video on the Von Tempsy Bowie in Oct 2010.... very interesting guy !
    I told him about you and John, as i have also passed the word about your channel to my friends.
    Really enjoy your presentations....
    Thank You...

      @@hickok45 you're very fortunate to have viewers loyal viewers like Rob 83. He's watching out for what is best for your channel Hickok you should really appreciate that. Next time I would suggest before you post a video, you should check with Rob 83 after all he's only looking out for your channel and what is best for you and your family. As for the knives, the first three that I've tested have promptly sunk to the bottom of the lake. I am eagerly waiting my fourth sample hope it floats. Although I don't know how a knife that heavy could have much buoyancy, but I don't know all there is to know about Bowie knives. Anyway hickok45 stay in touch with Rob 83 he seems to know for your channel.

    @cmonsterz 7 лет назад +1

    Thanks for sharing, guys! I happen to know a bit about steel (particular the kinds...plural...used on knives). Interestingly, there are steels (1095 as an example) that are a little "softer" and are less likely to break...and then there are steels that are exceptionally hard and can actually be "brittle" (more prone to breaking). With Ontario, they usually use 1095 or 5160 spring steel in their larger knives. Typically, that steel will "bend" before it breaks, however, if it is hardened improperly, it'll break like you've described. Anyway, thanks for some awesome entertainment (overall; not only this video!)

    I had not gone far when a man of our company was shot. The Major went to
    his assistance, and was shot, the bullet entering the centre of his
    forehead. He fell dead on top of the man to whose assistance he was
    going. That was how Tempsky died.[7]
