BurnSide Posted February 23, 2005 #2 Share Posted February 23, 2005 You have all those? Must have cost a fortune. The Sword of Darkness alone costs like 300 American. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkSinister Posted February 23, 2005 #3 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Wow...that looks tough. Nice collection.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotoke Posted February 23, 2005 Author #4 Share Posted February 23, 2005 yeah you should never buy it from the store. they buy it expensive from the supplier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurnSide Posted February 23, 2005 #5 Share Posted February 23, 2005 I know. I was tempted with swordsonline.com several times, their prices are cheaper than the actual booths in the malls around here. I've been very tempted with buying Narsil from LotR actually.

One from the US navy costs 200 or something like that 497523[/snapback] I honestly dont kno wher the sabre is from. I want to find out tho. I know the Bayonet is 1907 pattern British. And has Australia carved in the handle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotoke Posted February 23, 2005 Author #11 Share Posted February 23, 2005 (edited) that is cool, that is museum material, you could get rich i think i hate katana''s for some reason Edited February 23, 2005 by Hotoke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boff Posted February 23, 2005 #12 Share Posted February 23, 2005 I like Japanese officers Katanas from WW2, but there very expensive. They usally go for around 1k USD on Ebay. Oh well...one day.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shivel Posted February 23, 2005 #13 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Ohh swords..finally something i know about. Although the stainless steal swords are beautiful..i go for more of a stronger metal over beauty. The stainless steal swords that you have Hotoke range from 420-440 J2 which means that the metal is very weak but it shines beautifully. My sword (i have a few but this is my favorite) is 1050 J2, which means its stronger but its luster isnt as great as the lesser metal. (The picture is too big so you'll have to click the link) http://www.knightsedge.com/swords/reverse-...sword-2044g.jpg ^^ Its a Reverse Blade sword...I love it because of how different the blade is and also how inexpensive it is. Katanas are my favorite swords of all..ive always been fascinated by the japanese history and culture. And for all you Kension fans out there..no i didnt get the sword because of the show..i actually found out about the show 2 months after i purchased the sword. But i gotta say, having a guy on a show use this kind of sword makes it even cooler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotoke Posted February 23, 2005 Author #14 Share Posted February 23, 2005 reverse blade katana eh? i was planning one ordering one. And for all you Kension fans out there..no i didnt get the sword because of the show my reason was that how much was it? if i remember correctly it was very expensive because it is functional right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shivel Posted February 23, 2005 #15 Share Posted February 23, 2005 how much was it? if i remember correctly it was very expensive because it is functional right Not expensive at all..probably less than your swords. It was exactly $186 and yes it is functional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boff Posted February 23, 2005 #16 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Could you cut through a baseball is someone through one at you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotoke Posted February 23, 2005 Author #17 Share Posted February 23, 2005 (edited) http://di-links.com/link118 check this video out of a katana cutting through a bullet Edited February 23, 2005 by Hotoke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH2097 Posted February 23, 2005 #18 Share Posted February 23, 2005 I don't have a camera or scanner, but I'll use the pictures from swordsonline. I have another knife, but I cannot find a picture of it. I plan on getting a katana in the future, but not a cheap one, fully functional Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seraphina Posted February 23, 2005 #19 Share Posted February 23, 2005 (edited) Three sword katana set from "Stuff" in Glasgow: £49.99 or was it 59.99, I honestly can't remember... The reason this picture is sideon is because I don't have enough hands to hold the sword, hold the camera, and click the mouse...the camera was held in my mouth instead Which is probably not good, since it's not my camera Edited February 23, 2005 by Seraphina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shivel Posted February 23, 2005 #20 Share Posted February 23, 2005 (edited) Could you cut through a baseball is someone through one at you? Yes if i was facing the person..ive only been practicing with my katana for a short while so im not nearly an expert or anything...and i dont plain to become one (too time consuming with no real reason to become an expert) Oh thats right..i also have a dagger almost forgot about it. Its not a Tanto or anything which you would probably expect..but its still cool. (yes it is stainless steel) And Hotoke that video wouldnt work for me..

Hotoke Posted February 23, 2005 Author #21 Share Posted February 23, 2005 you know what i hate? people coming over and asking what you are going to do with all the swords Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shivel Posted February 23, 2005 #22 Share Posted February 23, 2005 (edited) Yea i would hate that too..its pretty obvious you just like collecting them..do they think your going to kill someone or something? Luckily that hasnt happened to me yet, mostly because my friends already know that im into martial arts..so they dont even think twice about why i would have some weapons in my room. By the way Seraphina, very nice looking swords the second picture actually looks like a functional sword to me..very hard to tell though..

Vitalogy Posted February 23, 2005 #23 Share Posted February 23, 2005 http://di-links.com/link118 check this video out of a katana cutting through a bullet 498328[/snapback] Wow, my sword/samurai knowledge is zero, but that was amazing, there was hardly a shudder from the blade. Amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seraphina Posted February 23, 2005 #24 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Probably would be functional if I sharpened it (the blade is fairly high quality, not like the overgrown butter knives you usually find in novelty shops), but it's fairly blunt as is...you could probably cut yourself on the edge if you tried really hard, and I definately wouldn't want to drop it point first on my foot, but it's not exactly razor sharp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vitalogy Posted February 23, 2005 #25 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Haha, I love this: "you could probably cut yourself on the edge if you tried really hard" As if to prove a point, lol. "See! I told you I could!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
