Dare I suggest that he is employed in the mens room of his local olive garden?

"They have been part of man's weaponry since the Paleolithic age, when the cutting edges were fashioned from flint and other stones. For the thousands of years before the invention of gunpowder, they were the mainstay of every army's arsenal. Today, they are still in constant use, whether for recreation, practical purposes or ceremony.

AXES, SWORDS AND KNIVES is a comprehensive look at the world of edged weapons. Trace their development through the ages by looking at ancient blades recovered at historic sites worldwide. Watch as a craftsman hones swords from scratch using traditional methods. Meet John Clements, whose research into historic combat has shed light on the reasons behind certain designs. Attend an axe-throwing contest in Eagle River, Wisconsin and tour the legendary Victorinox factory where Swiss Army Knives are made.

Whether felling trees or spreading butter, blades remain a vital tool today."

There was a guy on this show forging Swords, Axes and all kinds of weapons, maybe you can find him?!?!?

When I was 14 a family friend offered to give me a cane with a blade in it. I turned it down. WTF would I do with it? Self-defense? I did not have any enemies there was not anyone who wanted to kill me.

I would have looked lame carrying around a cane

the cane sword wouldnt be this gigantic monolithic sword. it'd be about 1.5 feet long... it'd be more like a cane dagger/shortsword. a ninja-to without a guard.

and i've seen lots of people my age with canes and such. injuries, that kinda thing.

anyway, i will be finishing training before i'd ever think to use it. and besides, it's meant for use when i'm well dressed (that's why a cane sword, and not just a tanto)

and i dont plan on living in california when i get the cane sword commissioned. not sure where i will be living, but i want OUT of this state.
