thanks, josh. i'll keep my eyes out for it in the swap section....

i'm not into tai chi or anything that organised. i do prefer to have sharp users rather than dull wall hangers, and if i can pick up a cheap place-holder on ebay till a proper one comes along, i do. i like buying ones that are a bit distressed and have fun cleaning and doing some minor restoration.

i'd probably not swing one of these seriously as i'd need to do it outdoors and i'd probably get arrested for possession of an offensive weapon

, and i have ones i'd be inclined to pick up first.

if i WERE to swing one seriously i have a few modern steel replicas i'd be a lot more comfortable with, like this one from viktor berbekucz:

or a couple of antiques i'd bet my life on.
