Roman sword part deux

>Anyway, thanks for the help when I originally posted. Come to find out after checking out the link that someone sent me to that the average roman sword weighed approximately 2 pounds, or under. So, to save some nice wood and to make life easier for me, I suggested he get 1" steel pipe, fill it with pea gravel and seal both ends with caps. Tape the handle and have at it.

Thanks

JH

>If you epoxy some broken glass to the outside of the pipe, it makes it easier to tell if you actually struck your opponent with the sword. HTH
