Hello, I am looking for some good videos or other resources on basic strikes and combatives performed in a manner for realistic self defense with a stick that is about 1 meter long (around 40 inches)... thats Hanbo/walking stick territory. I have done is a few basic Kali drills from time to...

I ordered a 3/4" G10 FR4 rod today from amazon, as well as a 4oz pear-shaped chromed brass knob for the top from Treeline, and a stainless ferrule with a rubber/hiking spike option for the bottom. Total weight should be about 23oz... I will post pictures and stats when I get it assembled...

Hey craftsman that was a really helpful post, I will definitely look into this... Where is this other post about the brass hardware? I did a quick search and didn't find it. I am not necessarily sold on g10, but do to it's high density, sheer strength, and machinability I think it is what I...

I am leaning toward a half inch G10 rod and learned that one can dye G10. I had another question I though you guys might have some experience with... do you know which of these materials I could screw a hanger bolt into to add some kind of knob to the top? I am worried that g10 might split...

I wonder how these composites stack up against other materials like fiberglass, carbon fiber, or UHMWPE in terms of cross grain impact strength? G10 is more dense than CE, but not five times more dense, so if those numbers are correct then G10 might be the most resistant to impact for its...

Rcmodel, Thanks for the links, that carbon fiber is at 2.1oz/foot using the same dimensions as above; less dense than even the fiberglass. John, I see the advantages of a heavier and longer stick if permissible, especially for someone like you who has developed the skeletal strength...

Sounds like I will just have to get one and work with it! I wonder about how brittle a 4' length would be, especially in the narrower diameters. If I am ordering from that website I will probably get a fiberglass rod too, as they are very cheap, and do some comparisons. Based on their...

Yeah nothing against pitbulls. I would hit ANY dog breed that was attacking me or another person in the right. Pitbulls are the most common breed that kills people according to the wikipedia page on fatal dog attacks in the US. Do you guys think there is any chance a 1/2" thick CE rod would...

Thanks Bikerdoc. Hope you are on the mend! I am thinking that even 3/4" may be heavier than I want to go. The 1/2" is much cheaper and they have diameters between the two. How would you say it is different than wood? Slower? Less rebound? One of my priorities is having something...

Looks good. Would like to see some more pics and thoughts on diameter. That looks like it might have been about 1" or even bigger.

Hello, I am interested in making a walking stick out of one of the composite fiber or glass materials (probably CE Phenolic rod). I am thinking about something between 1/2" and 1" and probably less than 4' in length (I am 6' 175lbs). My current walking stick is a ~1" diameter, 39" length of...

I am considering buying either the stoeger coach or the double defense. I have read two anecdotes of the defense having issues reliably firing. None about the coach despite it being decades old. I thought they were basically the same weapon? Anyone have any anecdotes or technical knowlege to...
