Bellum Eternus Gallente Death of Virtue MeatSausage EXPRESS	Posted - 2010.02.18 03:57:00 - [1] I carry a Microtech SOCOM automatic with a tanto profile blade in D2 tool steel. Anyone who carries something as archaic as a simple folded steel katana for self defense is a fool. I'd at least expect anyone with common sense to carry a katana produced with more up to date materials. My SOCOM works equally well for both stabbing and cutting. It's point profile performs exceptionally when penetrating body armor up to class IIIa (without a strike plate). It's also holds an edge well enough to shave with. It makes a good short range weapon for the 0-3' range where my firearm may not be sufficiently dexterous or safe to use while in such close proximity to my body. The good news is that my sidearm will take care of anything outside that range, which is the best part about not having a katana. Tamishigri aside, katanas these days are pretty useless. I like mine for Tamishigiri however. -- Bellum Eternus Inveniam viam aut faciam. Tier 5 Battleships
Bellum Eternus Gallente Death of Virtue MeatSausage EXPRESS	Posted - 2010.02.18 07:35:00 - [2] Originally by: Brigsby5987 I also own a Katana, but I can't seriously claim that it's more efficient than a firearm. It isn't a comparison. However, I prefer the precision and the how shall I say, intimacy of the weapon. Call me sadistic, but if/when a burglar with a handgun breaks in, tries to hurt me or my family, I want to see the look on his face as he is cut down. The fear. Where I live it is LEGAL to carry a sword so long as it isn't concealed. (lol) you still can't take it anywhere that guns aren't allowed but in public it's fair game. Police can hassle you I suppose but they have no legal grounds to do anything. I hope you practice often and with great frequency with your katana in your home with the lights out in the middle of the night while running through your house in your pajamas and bare feet. -- Bellum Eternus Inveniam viam aut faciam.

So you're telling us that you have a 400 year old katana? You got out done mother***er. & American mad he has no history and before anyone comes rabbling back, this is not a serious post This isn't a contest you noob. A Kotetsu katana is a very narrow thing as far as who made it and when, and what time in his life the smith made it, and where. -- Bellum Eternus Inveniam viam aut faciam.* Tier 5 Battleships

Where do you live Arvald? I'm interested because 'sword canes' are illegal in most of the US and classified as an "any other weapon" which is regulated under the US's "National Firearms Act" (NFA) which also regulates such things as suppressors, fully automatic weapons and short barreled rifles (SBRs). All of which are legal mind you, depending on the state you live in. The BATFE tends to get really ***y about AOWs however. Weapons that are disguised to look like something other than a weapon as an example. -- Bellum Eternus Inveniam viam aut faciam.* Tier 5 Battleships

Weapons that are disguised to look like something other than a weapon as an example. utah, as far as ive been told by law enforcement in my area, as long as im not brandishing a blade about or threatening people no one will bother me, though it is up to the cop that is on the scene to decide if i should be charged. Utah is pretty relaxed as far as regulating concealed weapons go, but I'd take a good hard look at the laws. Not trying to pick a fight or anything. It's just that the legislation gets to be pretty twitchy when it comes to 'out of the ordinary' weapons like swords, 'throwing stars', 'nunchaku' etc. Particularly if you have to use something like that to actually defend yourself, the opposing legal team will have a field day with it in court. As an example, it's a really* bad idea for civilians to carry handcuffs. -- Bellum Eternus Inveniam viam aut faciam. Tier 5 Battleships
