Back from stretching my tendons. I was swinging in the yard and saw a Subaru wagon across the street with the back hatch open, no one around, wtf? Someone was sleeping in it! Neighborhood is turning to crap.

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!

I wandered off in search of your suggestion and found myself lost in myriad blade sites, slobbering over repros of GOT Arya’s “Needle”.

Damn, do I ever want that glorious little pig sticker.
