vito Posted January 21, 2023 at 07:08 PM Share Posted January 21, 2023 at 07:08 PM My Glock 17 has a bit further reach than a sword. I think I'll stick with firearms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You at least need a Katzbalger, but I'd personally go as far as an Oakeshott Type XII. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikew Posted February 2, 2023 at 03:44 AM Share Posted February 2, 2023 at 03:44 AM My parents met at a fencing club in Philadelphia. Swords are in my DNA. I have a few of their weapons, something to remember them by. Some of you may have seen my tongue-in-cheek "sword of social distancing" from the start of the pandemic, where I put a tennis ball on a foil. I had to use it once at WalMart.
