I wonder how many people here on the city own a samurai sword, or any sword for that matter? are you profficient with it? I myself own several swords, most notibly a carbide steel samurai style sword. I had it custom made, and honed to a razors edge in the japenese way (with a wet stone and about 3 weeks of sharpening, followed by leather sharpening to bring the edge to a fine line). I do own a real samurai sword, but its just for aesthetic pouroses, My grandfather took it off a japenese tank commander in 1942, off sai-pan. I am profficient with all my swords, trained in the martial arts since I was 10. I own other swords, a chinese imperial guardsmens sword, with a spring release, the movie sword from blade, and from troy, then a set of swords my dad gave me, thats a katana, the mid sized blade (I forget the term at the moment, stoned), and the sipoko knife.
i have a japanese sword, called the "katana" its a phone by sanyo, works wonderfully! haha im high...as hell
Ahh dude, I have 3 samurai swords! a Set, and 2 mongolian style knives. Maybe if you come close to my town, I can show them to you. So, what do you think?
thats a nice set zimed. the set I have is similar, but with blue scabbards, and red ties. But the same end cap and bladeguard. When I come down your way I am bringing my custom made one with me, I always take it on vacation to train.
Yeah definatly dude. I need to train more with my katana, I am better with the short blade, and the 'wakazashi' (middle size blade). The long is difficult to master.
did you get that set in venice beach? they have the same exact sets for $40 a set...my friend always wanted to get one just to chop watermelons in half. haha. that set looks nice though. POTSYLZ - my grandpa also grabbed a sword off a jap in ww2, im hopin to get my hands on it one day just to own a little piece of history i dont do martial arts with swords, thats just too gnarly. but i love training in martial arts like mui tai, jui jitzu and judo. stuff i might actually use, i wouldnt want to learn how to use swords i might chop someones something off. haha
ha ha damn my grandpa also took a sword of a japanese guy in world war2! It sitting in my basement right now. Its pretty crude but its real sharp.
