Anna Posted November 2, 2001 Share Posted November 2, 2001 I'm going to buy a switchblade for myself as my Christmas present. I already have one of those army knives (the survival kind, with the little scissors n can opener, the kind you take with you when you go camping), but I want a switchblade to carry when I leave next year. I'm going to pretty much be on my own, and I'm a little paranoid. Mase wouldn't put me at ease enough, so I think a switchblade on top of that would make me feel safer...... and I have a friend who knows about proper use of knives, so I'll have him teach me a few things of course. I don't want to do more damage to myself than I would the assailant! :drunk: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flare Falcor Posted November 2, 2001 Share Posted November 2, 2001 I'd like a katana or a one-and-a-half handed sword (ones which you can use with one or two hands).... but it's probably illegal to have anything like that here... It's already illegal to walk around with anything sharper than a butter knife.... actually I think the only types of cutlery that people are allowed to take to schools and placea like that are plastic ones...

Stormbringer Posted November 2, 2001 Share Posted November 2, 2001 Don't think this has been said yet, but oh well. Samurai swords and katanas are the exact same thing. Single-edged sword with a slightly curved blade. Ninja swords have straight bladed. The longer swords are called Tachi. I buy swords for decoration. I do plan on taking Kendo this summer, then maybe branching out into Iaido if I can find a place that'll teach that around where I live, but I doubt I'll ever need to sword fight for real. It's just something you do. It's like buying cards for a game like Pokémon or Magic but never using them. Lots of people do that, it's the exact same thing. Now if only I can scrounge enough money together to get a real, hand-forged katana.... the kind that could cut through any of those worthless European blades..... that'd be cool.
