[Ansteorra] Sword question

[Ryan Shady]

Greetings Lord Owen,

I fight with a scimitar.  You need very hot water and a frame to put it 
into.  wet the rattan and put it into a frame with a small bend keep doing 
this and over the corse of a couple days it will hold the shape.  If you try 
and bend it too much at the start you will snap the stick.  This is a 
gradual way of bending the stick.  You might also look at your local rattan 
vender and see if they can get one that is already bent.

YIS, Sayyid al-Sadiq
