I don?t know what worries me more you wanting to get a sword that will get the job done or all the people here that know where to find one. :D

my local mall has some fine claymores for 40 bux, i think i will go with them. i dont plan on fencing, but since you say these things can still be sharpened, i think it will get the job done. thanks your all your help!

Seppuku.
Isn't Seppuku the ancient art of killing yourself if you get super pissed and can?t find anybody else to kill? Ninjas use all sorts of crap to kill themselves?guns, ropes, knives, lasers, spears, etc.?and don?t even think twice about it. These guys would kill themselves for just about any reason and often for no reason at all: that?s why we there are so few ninjas today

Brooks,

I have a sword, sharpened japanese style, I bought it to hang on the wall, but it's just propped up in the corner of my room. I paid about a bill for it.

These days though, I'd rather have my money back. I'd rather have bought a gun instead.
