Strawberry Guava Short Sword

Yes, you read that right, Strawberry Guava wood.  I have a friend that brings me these pieces from Hawaii.  Normally we just use the straight, ugly pieces of wood to beat hard while practicing Pekiti Tersia.  Strawberry Guava takes a beating and then smells good.  Yes, really.  When the sticks are used in practice, the beating actually heats the wood up and it starts emitting a sweet, strawberry-like smell.

So, I took of the ugly pieces of guava and carved out a sleek, yet extremely hard short sword.  Now you can break bones and look good while doing it.
