Indecipherable Scrawlings

Bunnie - None of the above.

It’s not a flogger, so for me it’s a no to calling it flogging.
It’s not a cane, so for me it’s a no to calling it caning.
It’s not being used in what I consider to be the context of “knife play.”

So, I’d say it’s “impact play.”

Zedland​(dom male) - I was going to point out that a sword cane remains a cane, though significantly thicker and more ridged than anything I'd use for caning. But my research indicates that a walking stick and punishment device are two entirely different categories of things made in different ways despite sharing the same name at least in American English. This would have never happened with German...

I felt the need to share this linguistic annoyance and I do hope you will forgive it's form as a reply to you despite not being relevant.

ribbonbaby​(sub female){Guarded} - Lol, nice. I'd call it fun 😆
