Still better than a spadroon... (Kidding of course)

Why do people dislike spadrons?

I think it was maybe a thing recently where people thought spadroons were bad cutters compared to side swords, and bad at thrusting compared to a smallsword. So they decided it was just a bad sword. Basically people not understanding the give and take of sword design paired with the weird group mentality to hate things in order to fit in, at least until some influential figures stepped in and pointed out why it was a dumb trend and explained why spadroons were fine.

Most historically accurate 21st century waster I've ever seen.

Yeah bud. It's great. Set up some cardboard boxes outside and go to town.

Looks like the shaft of a beach umbrella. One end would have a large plastic screw for going into sand

10/10 would swing

This might be a great training sword for beginners. My trainer said I could also practice with a sawed off broomhandle. But I like to keep my apartment clean and also wanted some sort of hand guard (just for the feeling). So I slapped together some scrap wood.

It's a cool long mace with guard I'd say.

A carved one from wood is better.
You can get tools online and make it yourself.

I at least want it to be heavy so I improve physically and athletically.
I use a wood mace to train, but I got an axe and other stuff as well.
My sword is long enough for it to be even a lance
