And he would have shot you.
I wasn't going to say anything, because I know you are very young, and have some growing to do yet...but this sounds a bit dangerous to me. I think you would be better focusing on your own maturity before the maturity of an inanimate object of any kind. I think one of many goals in aikido is to translate that respect of a bokken or a sword into respect for yourself and others. You are the real weapon...not the sword. The time of the sword has passed.
