Klingon Northern Style Bat'Leth Set

[Muad'dib]

I'm detecting some subtle hint of racism here. Nobody talks shit about Jedi wannabees...

[Muad'dib]

BTW, can i change my handle to "Dick Badsabre: Return of the PornStar"

[Muad'dib]

hahahaahaha. I was sort of kidding...

[meeks]

hey baby, I was just kidding ... (unless you said yes)

[Darth Rock&Roll]

the weapon itself is cumbersome and inelegant.

seems like kind of a waste of time really.

Use the disruptors already for fucks sake...

So far as I know, there is no historical weapon that resembles the bat'leth. This should be a warning sign. Every idea in edged weaponry has been tried somewhere by someone, and twice by the Chinese; some pretty silly weapons survived the culling process but nothing like this.

As I like to say, things that are traditional are traditional for a reason.

The case might be made that there is some slight resemblance to deer horn knives, but those are one handed weapons. Even the bagua chaps, who love to supersize weapons, never made a two handed version, AFAIK.

This bat'leth deal strikes me as a weapon designed by someone who knows nothing about weapons. The problems with it? Reach and mass. Not enough reach, too much inertia. A competent saber man would make mincemeat of the Klingon who tried to whip out one of these.




Ka' plach!

Looks kind of like:

[klonk]

Well, live and learn, I suppose. But what they heck are those things?

They look lighter than bat'leths, but there is still the problem of reach.

Looks kind of like:

There is just no way that thing could weigh 40 pounds, so stop lying, unless you smithed it yourself.

Ahh! Oh, I'm awake. Damn these RSF flashback nightmares.

[grady]

Bah ... everyone knows Klingons do Hung Gar.
