What type of waster is this?

Great site. I've been poring over it now for several days whenever I have a moment.

As I looked through the site, I ran across this photo:

Is this a waster specifically made for the pell, or just a extra-heavy workout tool?

Is this a home-made waster, and if so, are there how-to plans available on the web?

Any information will be greatly appreciated.

I honestly don't know. It reminds me of a tuck.

Thanks for the reply, Sal.

I've been expanding my search...GIS'ing "cudgel", there were one or two photos that resembled the waster (minus the grip and guard ) mixed in with lots of singlestick pics.

Now I'm really curious.

If i find anything further, I'll repost.

Done.

I thought that guy looked familiar.

Thank you, Keith.
