What would be the price range for such a blade, Crayne?

**Crayne** · 07-28-2008

No idea, I don't even want to look at the price, haha. Not right now, anyway. I've seen the price vary between $40 and $160. And I'm pretty sure the quality scales up with the price, but I'm not denying the possiblity of rip-offs...

Compensating for something?

**Crayne** · 07-28-2008

Why, yes. Compensating for the lack of a proper way to get rid of stress.

So I'd be chopping. Trees, people, who knows.

I've got a wooden backscratcher that I use as a weapon. Does that count?

Lol, yes, I would consider that a weapon of some sort... Just not a sword.

Bashing things with that could constitute serious abrasions. :(

What does it look like?
