I've been a long time lurker on the boards, thought I'd make my first post count (...I hope )

Back in the 2.4 days, I made this tonfa mod (heavily inspired on and using some material from Elliot's Battle Axe mod), mainly because I wanted a non-instagib weapon that still packed a punch.
For info on tonfa, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonfa

Contract the wrists to spin the tonfa outward. Combined with the elbows, pecs and chest this can cause considerable damage. Also, I find that the added weight adds more power to spinning kicks and the like.

I've asked Uke to lie down for the picture ;)
Tori's right arm is in starting position, his left has been contracted at elbow and wrist.

One more thing... There's always room for improvement, so any feedback would be greatly appreciated. How could I use the new 2.5 modding options to improve upon my design?

Edit: In response to DeadorK's feedback, added "wooden" tonfa... Enjoy!
Edit: Added defensive mod, updated steel and wood with new alt_sides, now we have... sticky tonfa?
