Joker Re-Make?
« on: January 28, 2024, 08:53:34 PM »
So - I may be making a rather unlikely comeback to the game as a 4XI ornament / violent middle order smackbastard. If I do this, I want the biggest little weapon I can set my hands on.

What are the chances of anyone recreating a Joker style shape - is it possible? did he have access to stupid size clefts, did he have magical skills or could any of our forum bat-making genius's re-create?

The bat seemed such a flash in the pan, but surely with all the knowledge on here something similar could be re-created? I don't mind losing 4mm off my girth, but the concept was one of the finest ideas I've seen!

 I've made a few super short blade/longer handle Mongoose style bats for people. Happy to help mate if I can. Love doing different things like this!

I've got one of said Mongoose-like bats and it is a monstrosity in the best way possible.

That website says 1inch shorter blade, which isnt that much really. Were they much shorter back in the day? I've made ones around 500mm blade but std sh overall before. Think the one at @Jimbo has isn't far off 500mm blade tbh.

510mm I think mate. Pretty sure the Jokers were harrow length and width blade, SH length overall with the longer handle.

I'm sure they were about 50mm shorter blade than regular  - can anyone who's got one confirm?

@jonny77  - didn't you make something similar, wasn't there a pic on your thread?

Can get some photos of the Scott super short blade I've got tomorrow if you like.
