Sonata for Solo Sabre

Conductor leads music with a fencing sabre instead of a baton  I'm getting the idea that we probably shouldn't tick off the conductor

I'm currently taking a conducting class (yet another joy of being a music major).  On the first day of class, the professor gave us an almighty lecture on the quality and balance of batons.  Having the twisted mind that I do, the first thing that came to mind where the balance of pointy handheld objects was concerned was swords, of course.  Naturally, it is now my duty to try to figure out a scenario where I'd actually have an excuse to bring a sword to class in this manner.
