can train using it but cant use it...and when u train, it is highly dangerous to do so..so gotta train with a boken...so it's only for display purposes. Hence why the need of a katana since it doesn't represent anything(power, strength, coolness,beauty etc)....

I want Muramasa!!!

katana ... looks cool , but if you dunno how to wield it , it'll become a weakness if a robber breaks in ... maybe even accessory for murder

my kendo sensei once showed us his naginata ... freakin long. but they train with that only for the movements , not for fighting.

after soooooooo...... long, i've finally manage to get one for myself

it's a single handed katana (medium length). suppose to come in a matching pair, but the seller has one natural color, and the other black. both made from wood.

so no bulk order meh?
i wan 1 katana fer myself too. preferably reverse-edged one.

those things looks cool on display.

not easy bringing those stuff in bulk.
i'd recomend buying those stuff individually in small quantity to avoid any holdup at customs.

btw, i boutght mine from a flea market.

Err, I heard theres one shop in Melaka.. ANyone know if there is one? and near where?

actually, there are a lot of so-called samurai swords selling in lelong.com, some designs are quite cool i must say. maybe somebody can arrange a bulk and we all can get it at a cheaper price?

Rusty Nail, how much is yours?

A good website is trueswords.com , they got some cheap ok decent blade for like 30 dollars, but they also got nice ones like this http://www.trueswords.com/cold-steel-battl...bck-p-1956.html
for 200 dollars and more.. it all depends at what u look at..

wow..they even selling naruto throwing knives

Nothing fancy here.

This is a real practise katana. No fancy ribbon, just properly balance sharp blade for smooth slashing.

Btw, real stuff have no silver or gold or fancy ribbon, just dark or black color for cammo. Most real katana have 2 mode, norm display setup with the fancy stuff and during actual war, those part is been took off for 100% cammo. In fact, during ancient time the blade is purposely smear with dark color fat/grease to camo the blade more for assault purpose.

Also no reverse blade thingy. that only use in SamuraiX as big myth. The actual pulling out need the welder to pull it with sharp edge face top. Reverse blade will cut the welde's finger before fight...

cheers.

Well anyone know of the store in Melaka then?

Rm160 after a lengthy bargian.

will police arrest you guys for collecting these katanas?

If you have friends in Dubai or UAE countries, you can actually ask them to get you one. Even those axe or spear that looks like the one in Gladiator also got. All are unsharpen, and you can just tell the kastam its for decoration purposes, because they mainly are. But they are made with good steel and can be sharpen when you bring them back.

Sharpen it for wad huh?

for decoration purpose and 'other' purposes

such as??Can u tell me??

that's quite expensive.

sharpen it to slash nozy ppl like you...

Slash your self 1st la
