Got me a Katana!

[QUOTE="andrucks"]

a true hand crafted katana costs about 600$ +++ the most expensive I've sen costs 12k usd.

that's the Price you have to pay to get a usable handcrafted masterpiece.

Apparently prices can go as high as $100,000. :o

you get one sexy pic of Japanese tradition for those bucks then...

I was at the mall one weekend when i noticed this little oriental shop and they were selling katanas, so i bought one all black, it was a replica from the movie "The Last Samurai" for thirty dollars, i was very excited cause i had always wanted a sword. Three days later i was swinging it as hard as i could and it broke! the handle came ajar, and the blade was wobbly. So after going from owning a sword to not being able to use it, i quickly wanted another well made one, so i went over to weaponmasters.com and purchased the 1st gen. black katana (was on flash sale, paid forty-five all together) and couple days later recieved it, and boy was i impressed waaay better and nicer! It feels so sturdy and has better weight to it then my old one. I plan to purchase a sharpner to make it razor sharp, and cut threw some stuff! Im very happy with it, i plan to buy maybe another more expensive one some time in the future, but for now im satisfied.

Anybody own any weapons and would like to share, i'd like to here what you own!

ive been considering buying a couple off of amazon...mostly replicas of animes and video games though ahhaha

Alright, there it is, the other "daggers" I mentioned earlier are at my aunts house :|

Anyway, there be me..erm...dagger..thing..

I always picture how crazy it would be to stab someone in the gut with that thing, you'd pull out their intestines if you ripped the thing out of them.

A few different choices of katanas on this site ranging from replica to handmade katanas. The site has a nice selection of plenty of other handheld weapons as well...check it :D

Budk.com is my favorite website for weapons, and they always have great deals on them, even rare ones like LoTR and Braveheart Etc.

I have a katana from Japan, 2 butterfly swords, a Japanese officer's dress sword from the Ruso-Japanese war, and my grandfather just gave me 2 fencing swords. Believe it or not, every single one of them is dull :x, but I have a machette that's sharp enough plus about 8 pocket knives. Interestingly enough all of them but one are in my bedroom. :PFlaminDeath

Yeah well i have lightsaber...and it makes a SHWERRRRRAAAA sound when i move it and it also collapses into the grip. I got if when i was 6 for christmas. That is pretty much the most dangerous melee weapon i have...it is super powerful against my brothers cheap pirate sword he got from the fair...

what are you a ninja wanna be?

I don't think decorative katanas should be used for things like that...jointed

It only cost me 45 dollars, i bought it to use, even though it is very pretty, i have it layed on a stand (blade up) up in my room when im not using it. If it had cost me like 200+ then that wouldnt be used, i do want to buy a handmade one, which will probablly cost more.

I keep a wooden tonfa below my drivers seat for self protection - the only thing I use it for is hitting mud/ice out from inside the wheel well

I swords, but they are all decorative - I don't own any real nice ones

Well unlike most of the members on this board, I used common sense. See, for about ohhh $500 you can purchase this weapon and its called a Colt M1911 .45. Maybe you wanna try something like that incase you ever need to defend yourself.

Ha im being scarcastic. Anyway, yeah, I would only wan't a katana if it were authentic.

Why would you just use a tire iron.. Instead of brass knuckles when its legal, and more effecitve.

I don't like guns,guns kill! However,you know whats a cool gun, the new MAGNUM 500. It's a five carttide, instead of six.FroMZeRo2HeRO
