Mph, fantasy ****. Actually use that thing the handle'd take your ****in' hand off before you did anything.

Really, if you're buying nonfunctional weapons because you saw something like them in a fairy tale movie once, you could spend the same money on a tiara and frilly dress and convey precisely the same message to your friends without looking like a fool to boot.

Mind, my cheapass wakazashi has a severe risk of the blade flying off in mid-thwack and the machete isn't exactly capable of that whole stabbity action that's rather important to the knife thing (even if you can shave with it), but it's the principle of the thing, dammit!

Those real katana's are damn hard to break.  My dad has one that his dad took off a japanese fighter in WWII.  He says that the sword took a shotgun round and is still razor sharp.

I saw one exactly like you are describing on Mail Call (history Channel show) the other day

Yeah, but the $30 kind are so flimsy the handle is just screwed-on stacking.

[Tiara]

Well, the only thing that makes the sword non functional is that its not sharpened, that can be easily fixed. Its a real tempered sword, so the blade wont fly off if you play around with it. But my question is, why play around with it? What do you need real sword for anyway? I'm happy with this, be it sharp or not.

[Turnsky]

that, and the local authorities might have a little problem with  people waving blades around, sharpened or not:p

[Gloriano]

i got 3 katanas those swords are very old 500 years and they belong to my familys history we all moust lost them 10 years ago
after that we hide them

[Turnsky]

let me geuss, wherever you live, they have a strict 'NO LARGE SHARP, POINTY OBJECTS ALLOWED - lest the be ginsu knives' or somesuch?

[Gloriano]

[Turnsky]
