I had a friend who came and swung my two-handed long sword around for hours, in the front yard.
That was always his “payment” for climbing my old antennae tower and fixing the motor.
He ‘worked cheap’ and I enjoyed watching him.
He was half Irish and half Hispanic.
Wild combination of genes.

I got it cheap, and it's indestructible...sensing a theme? El Cheapo the Bandido.
But it's hand hammered tempered carbon steel, closer to the Chinese sabers I'm used to, and I got it on "Deal of the Day" at MuseumReplicas ridiculously cheap last year. It's also my exercise for joint therapy...I have "itis" creeping into my shoulders and the recommended exercises use Therabands...but Therabands are for Girly Men!
