A stiff blade is more likely to glance off the ribs, whereas a flexible blade seeks the path of least resistance between the ribs to the delicate organs beneath.

What if I needed to put it in his skull? I also want a blade that's edge can be sharpened a bit since i don't want anyone being able to grab it. | |

Then you want a katana.
Without a pistol grip.

So that you can come on here and pretend to be astute. I never see you talking tech or strategy in the fencing discussion. You are just another blonde entertainer to me. | |

And what do you mean by tech, equipment etc? I do discuss that, but I have also become weary of all the endless "Which is the best shoe/grip/bag/kit" questions.
Why don't you make up your mind already if you're going to be a nice person or not? Occassionally you post something good, but then the next second you're just being rude to everyone.
F.net is a great place to spend time, I'm having fun. I may be an entertainer, but my haircolour has as little to do with that as the colour of your skin does.

It splits people open dude, forget "what if I want to stab him in the head?" Instead, you can bust his head open... Doesn't that appeal? Doesnt it, RL?

No way in hell. If I have to kill someone i want to do it with some class and style. I want to kill as a swordsman not a shovelman. | |

You want prestige? This is bu#.#$&#t.
