alright i have a friend that is interested in dag and she said that she would want to use a chakram and i cant think of a reason why she couldnt use it. i mean its not a punching weapon, you can put a handle on it so you're not gripping the blade, and it may be kind of hard to make the right shape into, but its do-able and not something crazy. at least not to me it isnt. feel free to prove me wrong  |

a chakram like that, no. She could easily make a rock that looks like one, but anything made like that would almost have to be a punching weapon to work. to make it work it wouldnt look anything like a chakram

Also it could not be throwing and slashing. Can't be done. I've heard people try to make them and have them pass and believe me when I say it will not be worth the effort by any stretch of the imagination. It will look nothing like the weapon you are trying to emulate IF you can get it legal, and actually getting it legal will be a nightmare. Especially if she is new, get her in the game fighting with the tried and true basic weapons. If some time down the road (like say, a few years) she still wants to make one, have her experiment with it. Chances are she'll say screw it.

Just to say  Those aren't chakrams, or atleast I'm pretty sure they're not. Chakrams are complete circles, those look like they aren't weighted to be thrown at all. I would consider them more like ornate short swords than anything else. |

those look more like wushu weapons, maybe fire wheels or something like that.
