Are we talking about Mace here?
Or a mace? I'd go with that - distance action, lots of jabbing potential. And it would enhance any home.

Made me smile, SG.
Although, I think your picture is a scepter. Scroll down this page to see a battle mace. Just $109.95 for the nice steel one.

 LOL....and it's made by Paul Chen too! I have a Paul Chen sword.  I can't edit my post above so I'll add the information here to reduce posts. If anyone is interested in the Kershew knife, do a search on Kershaw Onion, Leek, or Chive. There are size differences. Last edited by Tulip; 06-12-2008 at 12:21 AM. |

Actually, that might work if you looked crazy enough when you said it. Plus, the CM is much more decorative. So there you have it.

Ceremonial maces at least in England have a somewhat curious design history.
Carrying a mace for opening Parliament, IIRC, the order of the day was to carry this weapon inverted -- peaceful intentions but royal muscle behind 'em, and all that. The mace also got fancy, and an ornamental knob or finial adorned the end of the haft. Said finial was about the most visible part of a mace being ritually carried inverted. Said finial got bigger and fancier. Eventually the base of the mace got bigger than the head was, which was shrinking, atrophying with time. So guess what you're looking at now!

My answer for home defense, the Black Bear Classic... so far it's Home Invasions Repelled: 2, Personal injury/loss: 0. I'd love to be able to legally carry this bad boy around.
Coldsteel or nothing at all.

A "powerhead" or "bang stick" is a steel shaft with a length of tubing at the end which serves as a chamber for a cartridge. The chamber has a firing pin at the back which generally has some sort of safety mechanism. To use it you simply press the business end into the target; the pressure will force the cartridge against the firing pin and discharge it into the target. The minimum length of the shaft is 18 inches, and the general maximum size cartridge is for a 12 gauge shotgun shell. A 12 gauge shotgun shell discharged point-blank *will* stop whoever is coming after you, and afterwards you still have at least an 18 inch steel rod to fend them off. Of course, you might as well simply use a firearm at that point. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bangstick |
