I will have to read the other messages in this thread shortly...
I believe the large Asain style spear/axe polearms are shurikens...I could
be wrong though...
I made a simpler and shorter version after I got my first A-wing. I used
the silver light saber handle w/ the black rod in one end and a Ninja theme
Black Katana sword in the other. I have since experimented with <shudder>
cutting down the katana blade to make a unique looking blade.
Your use of the Pirate/Western theme sabers w/ the lance is truly
inspired...I never thought to combine those elements into a more formidable
weapon ...I wish I had thought to do that.
Thank you for sharing that design!
