| I have built two giant reds. A war hammer that can knock the wind out of you (and still passes), and a double sided battle axe that stands 5'6" and has the surface area of a large shield. Both require two hands and have quite the intimidation factor. The first battle with the war hammer was a free for all and found me the victor. A good start. Who else has tells of reds? | |

| I miss SheildBane. I made a 5'8" red sword that weighted 30 ounces, and all the weight was in the handle. The balance point was one inch above the handle. It flowed like a lightsaber. Everybody loved it. Everybody wanted to buy it. It died. It got some unussually rough use at Sheildmeet in Joplin. The core suffered some minor fractures, which we didn't find out about for another month. Then it just exploded from the inside. No shrapnel or anything, it had been properly taped. I also have a 5'6" war hammer that has a head that is a 12 inch square striking surface, and is about 18inches thick. The courtesy pad is son nice that it could pass for a red on its own. My next red weapon I plan on building is called a bardiche'. It is similar to a pole axe. It will have a 6 foot shaft, with 3.5 foot blade. The blade sits infront of the shaft, and attaches at the base of the blade, and halfway up. I don't want it to look like a glaive. Here is a good picture of one. It is the weapon on the left. | |

| I'm pretty sure most people know about my old red, but only the people from the Rolla Province will know about the new 5' one that Iohn made for me. It's beautiful. ^.^ | |

| It may not be as combat effective as a basic glaive, but It will be more about character development. And, besides, I can make anything work for me. | |

| lol i love my battle axe, it is a beast. it can knock ppl off their feet, but it is heavy and slow, and on windy days it is hard to swing, lol. I'm gonna build me a nice big red sword with a green point tonight, maybe some daggers too... | |

| Yeah the axe really is quite nice. But it still needs a little bit more squishy on the striking surface. The thing is, when you have a weapon with as much mass centered at the head as that axe, it tends to hit hard. But not to fear, we will make it work! ^.^
BTW, all you guys (and gals) should show us your weapons. Pics or it didn't happen. | |

| well this was my first idea for a weapon, but it didn't get made till i got all the stuff i needed, lol. like i said, on windy days it is at the mercy of the wind, and as far as fighting goes, the most effective method i've discovered is using a stappy motion and the U-shape top to push single weapons up, then i turn it and hit down on the shoulder/torso area. but honestly, i haven't had much time with it, prolly anyone could beat me. lol | |
