I bring a friend to my boffing Group and he brings a really basic light bent weapon. really it was just a tube o foam and a hilt. i started using it and im like holy crap. the bend was perfect the pipe was sturdy light gray 3/4 with the perfect bend. It was very floose. It let me flow and let loose. i took the katana from him and made this. very basic katana the first version of my personal weapon.
