I just wanted to point out that we don't all use "crowbar" type blades. My group in particular uses blades that you would have probably grouped under "cut blades", but ground so that *if* we miss, we don't kill each other. It makes blades more expensive, but you also find yourself carrying a more "realistic" weapon, with the attendant balance, weight, and audience reaction.
