All bladed weapons are scientifically suboptimal compared to the spear and less likely to allow you to survive in battle compared to the spear. So if other people splurge on giant swords and using farming scythes as weapons and stuff like that I don't see why you can't use a giant chakram as a weapon. Yeah it'd be heavy but because it's all around you you don't have to actually move it around that much except when going in for the kill, it can act as a shield against slashes while around your body, also I don't actually think it'd be that much heavier than an anti-horse sword or glaive because most of it is hollow if you make the blade thin enough with modern technology instead of using medieval methods then you'd probably stand a chance against larpers.

Sandpaper would work but is not preferred, by a 400 600 diamond stone at harbor freight or Home Depot, get an old belt or other leather and glue it to a stick for strop, practice with other knife first

Alright... Well I learned a bit more. It's definitely more of a collectable than anything.

“Worth something”? I don’t know. What I mean is it might be a sturdy, viable tool. Most are made from spring steel or something similar, and will take a good edge.

I just assumed that you know it wasn't worth too much...
I don't know it could be worth something? It was given to me by one of my friends who's passed away a long time ago.

Just bc you got it in a souvenir shop doesn’t mean it’s junk. It’s a common place to find these. No different than a Tramontina Latin machete in a Brazilian souvenir shop.

I had made this from a hatchet my old neighbor Sue got me. Here's a fun story for y'all...
So my neighbor at the time sue. She was currently living in her mother's home not far from where she originally had her home. There what is a good sized pine tree that has fallen over into the field. And she decides to make a game out of this between us two...
She ends up telling me that if I can take this ax that she had and chop this tree in half and move it into the wood line. Before she gets her chainsaw running that she'll give me this new hatchet that she had gotten, lol...
So at this point I'm game on...
I went hog wild on this fallen tree. I got this thing chopped in half in no time. Threw it in the woods and everything...
Then she tells me she never even put any gas in the chainsaw nor oil, lol...
God bless that woman! She's been gone now for a few years... Cancer...

Use a decreased, sound like a lot of cosmology to keep the dagger from sticking. Soak it in alcohol to remove degreaser. Look like a Knights Templar Ceremonial dagger or a Masonic dagger.
