So in my free time my mind was wandering down “what if” scenarios of different weapons and I landed on Japanese jitte and hachiwari. I drew a couple and this is one of them 
A beast of a baton in 1/4in 5160 hardened and tempered for sword blocking/catching and crowd control. It feels great in the hand and even at 26oz it is easy to maneuver. The balance point Is right at the entry to the fork. The scales are textured on small wheels for a comfortable but secure grip. It’s 17 1/8in overall with an 11 15/16 “blade”.
