well the Destiny blade Wakizashi was basically a kokat by the length of its tsuka. but a wakizashi by blade length. probably would have been perfect for CQB.

Here's a non-sword suggestion for ya... Cold Steel makes a pretty mean shilelagh. Their Irish Blackthorn Walking Stick is perfect for an apartment, and it's even on sale for the holidays!
And no, i don't work for them, i just really like the blackthorn!

I was ust over at the SwordNArmory web site, here's a hint: check out their wakizashi called "bonsai"
looks like a hell of a good sword for a great price.

I don't own any SwordNArmory swords but when I was there for a visit two weeks ago I got a sort of a tour of a lot of their new swords and just from looking at them and holding some of them, I can tell you they are some of the best Japanese style swords in the under $300; easily.
now I hear they are working on getting Geometric yokote in the future, next hing I know they'll be doing a good DH Kissaki Moroha, a light and fast Unokubi (both of those with naginata bohi) or Kanmuri Otoshi and THEN I will truly and fully be SwordNArmory's slave.
seriously though Kevin does some really good wrap-work and upgrades on the tsuka and fittings and I know he inspects the swords for quality control so you have no need to worry about the normal cracking and poor tsukamaki issues found on so many Japanese style swords in our price range. it's really getting hard to resist buying one.

Ah... yeah that makes more sense. I take it that sword is DH? It is light and seems like it would be a good sword. Thoughts?
