Handle and sheath w/a wooden blade (for the $16k blade)
Mr Gocho's swords
There is a wooden blade inside to keep it together.
Introduced warm-season annual herb with stout erect green rough-surfaced stems to 1 m tall; plants tend to be single stemmed when growing in dense patches. Isolated plants have branched and spreading stems. Leaves are alternately-arranged, green, rough, broad ovate to triangular and usually 3-lobed. Burrs are woody, 25-30 mm long and more or less egg-shaped; terminal spines are 5-7 mm long and curve inward at the tips. A native of the Americas, it competes with summer crops and pastures. Left untreated, infestations result in reduced yields and downgrading of grain due to contamination. It causes problems in livestock production by creating barriers to movement. The burrs can cling to livestock, making handling difficult and causing physical injury to people and livestock.
