What?Also, the guard kept hitting me in the wrist.
Yeah the things more of a baseball bat than a sword, flimsy one at that--hence why its a replica and the tomahawk isn't. I would certainly choose my bat in a scruffle (or the tomahawk)I can't imagine actually using something like that as a solo weapon. Maybe in formation, but wouldn't a spear be better for reach, and shorter sword be better at closer range?
No doubt, in a battle against longer weapons length would matter, but if you met a man who could wield that sword...he'd likely crush you with one hand anyways.
Spears and shorter swords are a much better choice in reality...of course if you were a fencing master so would a thin sword, its a matter of personal fit for the weapon.
Again I agree, I throw EVERYTHING, its a hobby I love and have sacrificed many weapons to learning. I've always wanted to throw my hatchet but never have clear land to do it...I did however buy an actual throwing axe at an axe throwing alley after trying the trash they gave you and trying the instructors axe once--which is made by the same company that made my favorite foot long throwing knife that I do throw all the time.I have a hatchet. Amusingly, when I bought it, it was seized by customs as a "throwing axe" and so I got a refund. I then ordered another one, and it arrived. You can throw any axe, and even get it to stick blade first if you're good enough. Meanwhile, I doubt your average noob could throw even a perfectly balanced tomahawk style hatchet and get it to stick very often.
I can stick screwdrivers into thick cardboard from across the room, even some that are less than an inch long...but I have trouble with actual competition knives because they're meant for soft targets and I have too many sharp ones to use a soft target

22" blade to hilt. both at once in quick succession. And they were meant to be replicas...they're from some cheap mall store lol.
One is sadly bent now after using it as a booby trap (that likely fucked someone up) in my apartment, I been looking for a local blacksmith to beat it back into place lmao.
