Well, I oiled my wooden sword this morning. Fun fact: oiling wooden weapons helps prevent cracking when they're struck (or strike something like another wooden weapon.)

One day I'm going to get a naginata.

    More weapons fun fact: in ancient Japan (at least in some eras), the naginata was traditionally used by (largely upper-class I think?) women.

    I like to believe this means that at some point, someone looked at this weapon that's basically a sword on a bigass stick and went "ah yes, the epitome of femininity". If I'm wrong, nobody tell me.
