Thank you. The Comminus is my favorite as well. I might have a hybrid in the works soon. Here's a picture an owner sent me a few weeks back. I thought it was awesome that he bought it to use it.

Your Gladius is one of the best looking blades I've ever seen, If not the best looking! Now, where to get the funds for one???? |

i did smack one a few times, sometimes it bounced and sometimes it stuck. they were drying out (also it was raining and i was out in flip flops so i did not linger long). i bet a fresh one would get hurt pretty good. gotta get a ladder to cut some down, dont think the neighbors would like me shooting a stalk of coconuts off the tree, lol they are up there at least 20 feet or more
