FullerH said:All of the above considered, I think that I would stand by my recommendation of a good, handy short sword that has both cut and thrust capability. Since I already have one, a Gladius Hispaniensis that is delightfully light and quick, I don't need to go looking, but I do understand that the Kris Cutlery gladius in the Pompeii style is quite solid and very handy.

David Goldberg's dislpay of lightening fast moves with a Waki made a believer out of me!Watchful said:What did they offer by way of evidence of this claim?

Love the spear idea. IMO the thrust is superior to the cut - especially in hallways.
I like the Gladius idea too. Especially if coupled with a shield - even a makeshift one (backpack, chair, sack of rice - whatever is handy)...

I stand by the cutlass over ANY wakizashi as more versitile, better protected and easier to use
