Be honest, you are all going to dress up as Ninja's and run around the house taking a swipe at the dog.

Wow, that one looks nice!

Whilst on holiday i came across one that looked like a lightsaber, take the sheeth off for a 4ft+ blade :eek:

A question i need to ask to collectors of them though, wth do you do with them? :confused:

You can't call a Samurai sword a Samurai sword if it doesn't come with the short blade.

sigh...there is no such thing as a "Samurai Sword" the picture above is a Katana. The ones that look similar are wakizashi sword, and the smallest ones like a knife are Tanto.

If you want quality don't buy a movie prop as these are usually stainless steel. Don't swing them around or cut things, they'll just shatter. Buy a "practical " sword, but be aware these are razor sharp and can easily cut fingers off, or even wrists if you swing hard enough.

There's a clip from QVC showing "quality" stainless steel swords, banging on the desk and then...

The Question is, could you have someone's head off with a clean swipe?

Vertically or Horizontally?

Proper Katana. Just remember it's steel, so it WILL rust if you don't oil it. Don't touch the blade, nor run your finger on the edge. Or attempt to cut bricks with it!

Shouldn't it be "can it cut a person clean in half with a single blow"?

Steve09 · 13 Sep 2006 at 00:31

Yes you could!

My Uncle has 5 or so Katana Swords

Dunno, try it on yourself first, then report back

Was going to say the same thing.

Did he tell you this from inside a prison cell?

so im guessing these swords will be fully functional against the upcoming zombie uprising thats long over due?

Im tempted to get a samurai one now just incase of civil war/rebellions/zombie-hoards/invasion/war :cool:
