Sjambok

Y'all,

Just pulled my 36" Cold Steel Sjambok out of a closet and was playing with it. It is a nasty cardboard whacker & bush trimmer, but I'm wondering about its usefulness for real SD applications, particularly for places where one cannot carry, since it is very light & flexible (concealable) & can still give you some range advantage.

Anyone ever use one of these in a SD situation? I'd imagine it hurts like hell to get hit with it & know police & locals in Africa carry them, but does anyone know of them used successfully against a determined aggressor (not police for riot control)? Any ideas on ability to disarm an opponent with one?

OK, no replies so far.

Here's another question then, has anyone ever been hit with a Sjambok? How did it feel?

Letzfetz, I know you're out there, maybe you have some observations to share about this!


For anyone who doesn't know what a Sjambok is, try this link:
