Egregoros

not a sword, but I am excited to finally receive my lead loaded shillelagh fighting stick from Ireland. It is basically a walking stick made from blackthorn wood that was seasoned over a chimney for 3 years to harden, and its knob hollowed out to pour molten lead in it to make the end more devastating to strike someone with.

I had some friends that were into wrestling, they put on a show and one of the bits was hitting someone with a bamboo cane. No one knew it had a lead core. Guy that took the hit went down without acting.

hope the guy was okay! having lead makes it quite capable of splitting someones head open
