If anyone asks, you can tell them, "Yeah, I damaged the blade in a duel with a dude who was making unwelcome advances to my girlfriend. He won't be bothering her any more..."
Nah, that's how I explain away the rust spots on the blade of my sword cane! Victorian bamboo cane with a 30" german-made foil blade, definitely gets the job done....
