1) I use the German styles, so I don't have any use for a bokken, and I have polyurethane(or whatever the fuck it is) longswords for that. Well, okay, they're actually bastard swords, but that's beside the point.

2) Nothing "collapsible" should ever be used to swordfight...

3) wooden handled rake + saw + elbow grease = quarterstaff.

4) You have a hand carved Fijian throwing axe? I looked up pictures of them, and... they call that an axe in Fiji? I mean, it looks cool, I'll give you that... but the first picture is what I consider a weapon. I'll back off if you can show me video proving it's effective.
