Sharpening up my fencing weapons. Well, not actually 'sharpening' them so much as filing out and sanding down the nicks in the edges, then giving them a coat of rust-proofing. In the Thai humidity, if I not properly cared for, they will rust up in a week! And blades tend to break at the point where they've been nicked up, so filing them down makes the blades last a lot longer. The fighting is going to be intense this weekend. There are 196 fencers from 12 different countries entered into this tournament. Competition will be fierce!
