I know they're dorky as hell, but who cares?
 
At $100 an inch from the Custom Shop I guess that would run you ~$5K. :eek:
(If you could ever talk Jery into making one, I'm sure lots of JWB would be needed.) ;)

At a hundred dollars an inch, the JWB wouldn't really be that big a deal. What's an extra couple hundred when you're already spending six grand?

Does Swamp Rat or Scrap Yard make custom stuff for lots less money?
 
BTW-- The picture comes from an article in the UK Sun:


Star Trek blade seized

By MIKE SULLIVAN
Crime Editor

THIS five-foot martial arts sword capable of beheading a man was recovered by shocked cops in a house raid.

The terrifying Batleth weapon is identical to one wielded by Klingon aliens in the Star Trek sci-fi films.

Officers seized the three-handled sword — which has huge pointed blades at either end — at a home in Gloucester.

It was shown yesterday at the start of a five-week national knife amnesty. Cops hope 30,000 blades will be handed in, with owners free from prosecution.


Local Insp Mac McGarry wielded the sword, which he said had been sharpened to kill.

He said: “It is a particularly nasty weapon which could easily take someone’s head off.”

Home Office Minister Vernon Coaker launched the amnesty in St John’s Wood, North West London. He said: “We are determined to get the scourge of knife crime off our streets.”


But Victims of Crime campaigner Norman Brennan, a serving cop, branded the initiative a “futile PR stunt”.

He said: “It is likely to be supported by the law-abiding public and not those who carry knives for criminal activity.

“Knife crime will only get worse if we don’t introduce a five-year mandatory sentence for anyone carrying a knife.”

THE Queen’s grocer Fortnum & Mason was fined £2,000 by Horseferry Road Magistrates in London for selling a knife to a child under 16.

It's hard to believe that these people once had an empire on which the sun never set, and now they're reduced to this. I hate to think what the furture has in store for my country.
 
I have a hard time seeing how that thing can easily cut off a head. Richard Ramirez swung a machete into a woman's neck and only got it in half way. (He was usually hoped up on coke and was a beast.) The way you hold that thing wouldn't allow you to swing it properly. It seems odd that they would relate that thing with knife crime.

Careful - some dude got his cricket-ball confiscated last week on the train platform from some overzealous British cop. (Overzealous - see: EXPRESSION ON DINGDONG IN PICTURE ABOVE!)

I'm wondering when they will include hardened flesh as a dangerous threatening weapon and outlaw Tali-whackers (not the kind Jerry made) in Engrand. Gimme a break.

I guess that means the zombies will be mostly Brits and California Democrats.

As for me, after the hail of 9mm, .223, and .308 ends, my porky butt will be standing there with an AK in my hand.

please keep in mind the necks of zombies are already soft from years of decomposition. the bones are also very brittle.
 
I'm actually going to give a semi-serious answer.
No, I'm pretty sure Jerry couldn't do it because of the size.
When he made the AKs, he made some comments here about not being sure if he's be able to add the extra couple of inches longer than the last run he made (in A2). But he did, so I think it's safe to assume that's as long of a knife that Jerry is will to do for now.
But I could be wrong.
And, I'm also not sure how Jerry would feel about doing someone else's design or the legal implications.
