Spoiler: 


You forget that Rand only has one hand now and has not relearned how to fight with his left hand.

I purposefully left that part out because we all know that without both his hands it's not even close.

Rand is so mangled--it's ridiculous.  He's one of my least favorite characters, though, so I don't mind.

Ham would win all the way!  I think Ham would use pewter to protect someone or something important even if it is "dishonorable" -- so I guess it depends on WHY they are fighting. 

Ham's wife insulted Nynaeve's hair or something?

Who needs hands when you have death gates and a sword formed from weaves.
You can always get what you want if you never count the cost.

To be nitpicky, I believe Rand was always left-handed, and unfortunately it was his left hand that he lost.  Don't have the book to look it up since I'm at work!

It doesn't matter which hand it is. The forms he were using before were two-handed, so now he needs to relearn the sword with only one hand.

He needs more than that his eyes are shot too...I wonder why he doesn't go back to TAR in the flesh and regenerate.

Of course, but I was only correcting the hand thing ;)  Although I don't see how he'll have time with what he all needs to wrap up before Tarmon Gaidon.

His eyes aren't useless; if I remember correctly, he just sees as if there is a gray haze over his eyes.

Well, that's my job.

You could modify it, you know.…

Why is it, when I see this thread title, I always think of Han Solo vs. Lando Calrissian?
