Synthetic Fighting Sticks by Eric Blair

Not only should you have your own postal scale, but it helps to add an "Irate Ninja" clause to your insurance.

Phil, great review on a cheap stick alternative.

The 1" diameter Acetal feels fairly indestructible. I've whacked it against things with no real damage, though there must be a point at which the plastic will crack or shatter. Shock is transferred readily to the hand.

I thought the shorter length would probably increase shock transmission. I guess the extra 7 inches that I throw around dissipates the shock enough that I'm not bothered by it. I like what you did with the para cord, though I personally prefer them bare.

Thanks, William. I'll bet in longer length those things are monstrous breakers.

I'm obtaining a supply of 3/4" Acetal that I may end up cord-wrapping for handles. We'll see how it goes. I have a few other ideas in mind, too.
