Unique Weapons Put to the Test: From Mall Ninja to Modern Tactical!

This week on Weapons Wednesday, we're exploring some of the most unique weapons available at KarateMart.com, including everything from practical self-defense tools to conversation-starting wall hangers. Watch the video to see our team put these distinctive weapons through their paces and vote for your favorite!

The first weapon we tested was the Behemoth Folding Kukri, a modern take on the traditional Gurkha kukri. This impressive folder features thick stainless steel construction with a beautiful satin finish that suggests 3CR13 steel composition. The G10 scales provide excellent grip in both forward and reverse holds, while strategic blade venting reduces weight without compromising strength. A heavy-duty liner lock keeps everything secure during use. Despite its size at 10 3/4 inches overall length, the 4 3/4 inch blade remains comfortable and manageable at 8.6 ounces.

Next up was the Self-Defense Hammer Spray, an American-made marvel that combines multiple defensive capabilities in one package. This 6 1/4 inch tool features military-grade aluminum construction, available in both black and red finishes. What sets this apart is its ingenious design - not only does it function as a strike weapon and kubotan, but it also houses replaceable .5oz pepper spray cartridges with 46% more stopping power than standard formulas. The UV marking dye helps identify attackers, while subtle DNA collection grooves add another layer of security. At just 5.1 ounces, it's an ideal everyday carry option that includes both belt loop and wrist strap attachments.

The Steampunk Gun Blade brought some theatrical flair to our testing session. This 27-inch conversation piece features an 18-inch stainless steel blade with laser-etched detailing and decorative cast metal components. While it may be more at home on display than in practical use, our testing showed it could still deliver effective strikes when needed. The unique pistol-grip design and ornate styling make it a perfect gift for collectors or costume enthusiasts.

We wrapped up with the Modern Tactical Khopesh, a compact interpretation of the ancient Egyptian sword design. Featuring a curved 8 1/2 inch blade made of 3CR13 stainless steel, this nearly 20 inch weapon proved surprisingly capable in testing. The nylon fiber handle is wrapped in paracord and provides excellent grip, while the integrated hook allows for weapon trapping techniques. Despite having a partial tang, the 1lbs 1oz sword showed impressive durability during our dummy testing. It comes complete with a heavy-duty nylon sheath for storage and transport.
