PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."
Good reach on the mounting -- which is typically wood and barely able to take the weight of the very unbalanced metal at the far end, and will snap the instant anyone plants a strike on the right point. Also, you're holding it by handles attached to the wood. Both hands separated by a good distance, with no direct grip on the mount. Guess how well you can hold onto this thing when someone lands a non-snapping blow on it.
But at least there's a a very long blade -- that curves. Towards you. And the sharpened cutting surface for both blade and point is on the inner edge. Of course, that very long handle keeps them away from you, but there will be times your opponent can force the whole unit back and hello, self-impaling. And by the way, the blade is horizontal. Just try swinging it in an uppercut. Go on, try it -- oops, there went that handle again.
They look terrifying. The death inferences are locked in place. You don't want to actually be hit by one. But the best way to be on the receiving end is to be on the wielding one -- so as a weapon, it lacks something.
