I'm with Paul on this one. To me, a 10" blade seems a little excessive for a fighter. And even with the regrind, I assume the knife is still pretty blade heavy. I just don't think it would be quick enough to use as a fighter. Then again, Roman soldiers seemed to do pretty well with the Gladius. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
