Swords need cared for, sharpened and all that.
A metal ball on a rod is a metal ball on a length of metal that can crack bone. Ball comes off, I still got a metal rod.
Yeah it sounds heavy as fuck. And also like there's a safe place to grab. I'm like a sort. There's no safe place on a sword there's also no safe place with chemical weapons...
So back to Bear mace.
Grabbing a sword to control it was more common than you think! Especially when wearing gloves, but a skilled fighter can hold on to the flat of a blade with the bare hand, and usually not get hurt
Put some little blades on the mace! They won't stay sharp for long, but the first few Nazis you hit with it will have a really bad day
Hey, dullness could be a benefit! Make for a nice tenderizer.
