"Awesome, must be a clean-cutting weapon.

But please, get a hobby. =)"

"interesting idea, its basically a short handled naginata.

the blade looks like its off of a china made toy though."

"It's a sword. One that will leave this guy with nubs when the fabric fails."

"swords made out of 440a are garbage, normally for decoration only. Find a better blade.

also to test your handle, take it outside and test it this way.

hold your hands at the end of the handle like a baseball bat. then hit the spine of the blade against the tree as hard as you can, like swinging a baseball bat. Make sure you catch the blade near the tip. I think you'll find that the gorilla glue isn't going to hold up."

"Good answer. I've just always liked the idea of a bank blade. I swung one years ago doing some community service for a DUI. Cleaned off a half mile of brush and briers for the county. Never had to sharpen it once. They probly don't make them that good anymore. But you are right indoors you wouldn't have enough room."
