    FTO is right. United Cutlery swords are fit only for swinging at the air....and the air might provide a bit too much resistance from time to time. Half tang usually, and I don't mean the drink mix.


    Still they look great & could probably stun a burglar.


    Still, I'll never forget the time a friend was out in his yard, swinging his SUPPOSED full tang Museum Replicas/United Cutlery broadsword....at the air, mind you. He said he was swinging it over his head, and the handle suddenly FELT LIGHT IN HIS HANDS. He immediately started running, full-tilt, in a random direction.....because he knew the blade was somewhere, up in the air, and soon to be on its way back down to earth.


    Be careful, kids. :p

    Cool. But I bet this is more expensive than our authentic samurai swords. Crazy that toys are more expensive than the real thing :\

    @stalin23: Whats not real about this? It's an actual sword based on one in a video game. More of a style over function approach, but still plenty lethal.

    @MDevonB: For one, it doesn't cut as well as my aforementioned samurai sword. It looks good though. Just can't accept the fact that a replica is expensive than a real sword. (Mine is really shiny too, with an awesome grip!) :(

    @stalin23: So, a claymore isn't a real sword since it doesn't cut as much as it cleaves? :P


    Actually reading the linked to article however proves you right, and its not a real sword. Still wish I had the money though, would sharpen the edge as soon as I got it.

    @MDevonB:

    would cause a great deal of lols even if you did sharpen it. i wouldnt want to swing anything made by united cutlery, sharp or not. they're made as replicas and replicas only. the steel is brittle and they blades arent fixed in the handles properly.


    id also love to see what stalin23 classes as an 'authentic replica' for less than what this will cost.

    @FTO_dude: no no, I'm not saying authentic replica, I was referring to a *real* samurai sword. If you've seen one, you would just snicker at people owning a "replica", as the blades are truly master class. We got it cheap (relative to other real swords) about USD350+ converted from our currency.

    @stalin23:
    If you got it for $350, then no way is that a _real_ katana, crafted by traditional methods. I saw a NOVA special on one of the very few remaining traditional swordsmiths in Japan, and it takes a three-person crew at least several months to craft a single blade to completion. There's no way they could afford to stay in business charging so little. No, for that price, what you have is surely either a mass-produced modern katana, or a quick-and-dirty handmade blade (i.e. something that took maybe one or two days _at_most_ to produce). While it may be a real edged sword, anyone who owns a truly master-quality katana would probably snicker at yours even more than any non-edged replica (at least the replica didn't cost $350).

    @stalin23:
    Don't care. Whoever told you it was a "master quality blade" was probably waiting to ring up the sale. And noone prices their merchandise that low just because they're trying to sell it in a less afluent market. This is why there are so many Chinese LEGO clones. The real stuff costs too much for the average Chinese customer, and they won't price it low enough to be affordable because then they'd lose money on every sale. Clones, on the other hand, can be churned out locally for a pretty low cost, and priced to sell on the Chinese market. But they're still always going to be clones, and they're never going to be up to the level of quality that you're going to get with the real deal.


    If it was a really-real master-quality katana, I'm sure the true value of it would be no less than five figures, so the only way it'd ever hit the $350 range is if someone stole it and had absolutely no idea what they'd got their hands on when it came time to unload it.

    @stalin23:
    To elaborate on my reasoning, if you got it for $350, and it was not stolen property, there's no way the blade was properly hammer-welded from different grades of steel. The metal might be folded a few times to get the distinctive look, but the entire blade would certainly be formed from a single piece of pre-forged metal, just like pretty much any other generic forged blade from any other culture. And thus, for a katana, it would be nowhere near master quality, and would either be unable to hold a proper edge (too soft) or far too likely to snap or shatter (too hard).

    Wow! Her ass looks like breasts! I mean the way they model breasts these days they're almost the same proportion.


    Now who in their right mind would go to a fight wearing that? Same question with Wonder Woman. I mean what's your goal? To give them erections till they pass out? Or give 'em erections till they squirm and try to hide it while fighting?
