I have a question... I was thinking of making a 6' long double-ended weapon and according to the rules you can only have 24 inches of handle. Is there any rule about breaking up the handle length into two different sections?
something like this...
= incidental padding
- unpadded handle
( striking surface
((((((((--=====--))))))))
EDIT:
Are you allowed to check somebody with a two-handed weapon like you do in hockey if there is 18 inches of striking surface between your hands? I heard a "probably not" once before at practice then never followed it up. (just think replace incidental padding with a strike legal padding and presume it passes for hit)
