sharp pointy things

[yoippari]

I'm not so sure the hammer was quite as effective as you seem to put it Dread. If so then hammers would have been much more common. Polearms that *may* have had a hammer head along with the spike/hook/axe/can opener seem to be much more common throughout a longer period of time.

I'm picturing a mixed kilt/weapons night at a pub. Bring yer kilt and yer favorite man killer. maces, 4 pronged hammers, baskethilts of course, and the occasional big 4 pound great sword (war sword if you prefer). Some places this is completely legal (yay for Oregon), but others you might have a hard time explaining why you and 6 men in kilts are walking to a pub carrying gun cases and scabbards with swords in them. I'm up for it. Are there any plans for a national or international kilt meet in the US?

BTW a hammer with a pick on the other side is completely on the topic of sharp pointy things The mace on the other hand... is it flanged or spiky ball style?
