Nah, those farmer swords that "aren't dhas" are still quite affordable

....I think I can about afford a screwdriver from Mindinao......

Battara, that's what I'd always heard about the spike. When I made one out of a buzz saw blade though, I put a sharp spike (and a peaked tip edge for parrying, and a 10" flat tang.

)......it was, as Therion said, even a little scary to handle; significantly moreso than a sharp double edged sword, holding which should make a person feel real alert right there.....
