Hi there
I managed to salvage my tang-broken kit rae and made it into a 70cm "sword". I was satisfied of how i managed to "fix" it and it gave me new ideas.
Basically, leaving any hope aside for that so much desired two handed greatsword, i decided to switch to "shorter" objects, but i don't think i'm even talking about knives here, that's it.
I'm having problems in finding what i'd like to buy because i don't know how to search it: i'm not looking for knives with a max lenght of 30cm and neither looking for 1m long swords, but rather for an hybrid. I got the idea from that salvaged sword: What about an "object" that handles like a knife but that is long enough to be compared to a short sword?
For example, i found this knife that is 42 cm long www.maxblade.it/image/cache/data ... 50x650.jpg and i wanted to know how i should research this kind of item (perhaps, are they called in another manner?). I tried using the keywords "Dagger" or "short sword", but it didn't lead to the desired result, since it mostly lists medieval stuff in which i'm not interested.
I'm looking for a pretty much "modern" design, with a very little guard (Like knives) but a medium long blade. Length between 40 and 60cm are preferred, but i'm okay even if it's in the 35 - 40 range, as long as the handle doesn't suck all the length.
Moreover, i would like it to be double edged, and that's the best i could find so far (and it's only one side edge).
Does this type of item fall under any category or i just have the bad luck to like unusual and hard to obtain items D: ? If you had any suggestion, it would be much appreciated, but keep it in price range <60€.
Thanks for your attention, i hope you can help me
