Since the topic keeps popping up about the diffrence between "real" swords and display swords, I might as well show you a video explaining it.

This is why you don't bring a display sword into a fight -

Sorry for the delay, was busy typing essays and dating and such but no I do not fence in real life, my character is a level 12 kensai (Fencer) in D&D from the Oriental Adventures book.

<-- Is confused. Where do you get your swords?

I don't fence, that doesn't mean I don't have swords nor that I don't know how to use them. Fencing is a specific style.

You sure it got him in the arm? Looks like it might have gotten him in the side, I can't tell for sure.

I believe in the existance of magic, not because I have seen proof of its existance, but because I refuse to live in a world where it does not exist.

That seems so fake. I think the guy was just doing this to act like he has a good katana. I mean, he'd be like "OH MY GOD THE PAIN MY ARM AAAAAAAAAGH" or something if he really cut himself. He still has that salesman-like attitude, like pretending to cut himself is part of the pitch.

They may be made out of spring steel but that doesn't mean the quality of the sword is much better

Although I admit they have improved and hey, you get what you pay for.

Just don't bang swords made of Pakistani steel. Whatever idiot decided it would be a good idea to make a weapon out of that shit needs to be smacked.
