All my weapons have a steel counterpart, my seax included. I use the steel one to limb trees and split wood. I have some faith it would perform admirably against a person.

My first fighting kit cost under $100, complete with helmet. My first paintball marker alone cost that. I then quickly realized that where paintball got expensive was paint.

Nope. I just won't fight against it. People can play with it all they want... but few do. Heavy rapier looks and feels better.
