saudi executioners sword

Which is a very slanted blade, I would say that a panabas might be the most efficient.

Heavy, well-tempered blade. short cutting edge, abrupt slant; sounds very effective, if not the best in a fighting situation.

In some countries, practicing decapitation on live criminals was the norm for young warriors; the actual experience was believed to be vital (!). Other countries and ethnic groups used animals to get the feel.

Sort of like a round of golf; practice, anyone?

Just don't start enjoying it and lose your head over it. (Sorry, couldn't resist)
