Since I started learning double edge form, I decided that I *need* my own double edge to work with. This as with all other martial arts purchases was not something to be bought on its own. I decided to pick up a sword maintenance kit. The kit comes with some oil, a little hammer, some talk in its own hammer like bag with a stick, some papers, and a bit of balsa wood. Im not quite sure how it all works, as I am not a sword smith, nor where there promised directions included. I will figure it out though, I can not imagine it is all that complex. Rub the oil on, put the powder to soak up the excess, wipe it off, etc. Along side these two wonderful product, the sword, and cleaning kit, I also purchased an 8.5 pound IRON long shaft. Let me tell you something, you have not done a staff form, until you have done it with iron. After about an hour of doing the form my shoulders could bare no more. Although once I picked up a wooden long shaft, I was able to wing that thing around like no bodies business. Furthermore when I picked up my spear to do the spear form, that too was much easier to manipulate. I believe I have found a new form to add to my daily todo list.

Soon my shoulders will no longer be weeping, but screaming in vengeance.
