Sure, 3 feet (90 cm) I believe. But how much does
it weigh? If I just had a normal 3 foot sword, I'd
be faster, and speed does matter...

Considering wearing a metal gauntlet, so I can grab
one (sharp) end, and increase the reach.
Oh, it's pretty darned heavy, even made out of aircraft aluminum.
I could do a lot better just picking up a sword at random than picking
it up. But I could inflict some pretty serious pain from about a foot
closer than my farthest sword distance IF I were in practice. IF.
Julia-- Aluminum? So it's lighter than it looks--
good.
And the British police are proud of confiscating one?
(No comment.)
The one we have is aluminum. I don't know about the one they confiscated.
Our aluminum one is still fairly heavy. It was made by someone in
Texas; we got it at Aggiecon one year. I have a friend who has made a
couple working with the guy who made ours.
