My brother just called me.
Me: "Hello."
Him: "Hey. I just bought a sword."
Me: "A what?"
Him: "A sword. You know SWORD. Long, sharp pointy thing. A sword."
Me: "What?"
Him: "A swor..."
Me: "I know what the fuck a sword is. Why did you buy a sword?"
Him: "You know a katana..."
Me: "I know what a katana is. WHy the fuck did you buy one?"
Him: "You know, for home defense..."
Me: "And where did you buy this thing?"
Him: "Online..some site called swordsdirect.com or something..."
Me: "Dude, those swords are crap. It'll more likely break than hurt someone..."
Him: "It'll cut you! It's like $150 or something. That's a good price..."
Me: "Is this some sort of April Fool's thing..?"
Him: "No. It's a sword..."
Me: "Alright.OK."
<strange silence>
Me: "Well, I'll call you later then..."
Him: "OK. Later."

A 150$ Katana isn't going to make it's way through an uncooked sausage without needing some reformation on the side.

Flying in the face of the angry masses, I still recommend a dog and a shotgun for home protection. A sword, regardless of the quality, would not be my first choice. Likely, not in the top five.
- does the dog carry the shotgun or is it afixed to the dog in some way?7point34
- Dude, I would NOT trust a dog to know what to do with a shotgun. Phooo!Spookytim
- More of a "don't come in here" and "hey, dummy, wake up" role.blaw
- fires when tail wags....oh boy.tasty
- Astute observations. Never trust firearms to anything that eats its own feces.blaw
- If fact, that rule alone could end the gun control debate once and for all.blaw
- could the gun be modified to fire dogs into the face of attackers? like some sort of dog gun7point34
- please understand that i dont mean a gun to kill dogs but a gun instead that creates projectile dogs7point34
- You'd need an RPG and a house full of chihuahuas.blaw
- I may have been off base with my initial recommendation. Perhaps a monkey with a box-cutter would be better.blaw
- How about a dog with bees in it's mouth and when he barks he shoots bees?fugged

He want's to get himself a carbon steel, forged, bambo tested katana.
That's the shit you use for Iaido, much better than a 220 'shatter on contact' display POS.

With a $150 katana, you're not going to cut anything, but you'll absolutely be able to swing it like a bat for maximum blunt-force trauma. Then the plastic handle will break.
- BWAHAHAHASpookytim
- And the blade will fly out and almost kill your little sister. Not talking from experience here or anything.scrap_paper

Tell your brother to keep that thing on the wall or in a closet unless he knows how to use the damn thing. Even them tell him to put it away. He'll end up cutting something off that he wants to keep attached.
Little Anecdote:
A number of years ago I brought a work colleague to my Kali class (Filipino Martial Arts). Dealing with edged weapons is a big part Kali. Two weeks later this bonehead comes into work with a huge bandage on his hand that he can quite open and close properly anymore.
I asked him "Dude, did you get into a fight or something? What the hell happened?". He was apparenlty showing off the basic drills he "learned" in the first two weeks of class to a buddy of his using a pair of steak knives. He ended up severing almost three ligaments in his left hand and will probably have nerve damage the rest of his life.
Fuckin dumb dumb.

do me a favor and either consume/take away all the alcohol from your brother's house... and avoid speaking about politics religion or any other stupid theme that people are passionate or something... like sports teams and stuff

Look like little more than a fance machete to me. Also, if you are looking to purchase an authentically forged Katana you are looking to spend about $5000 USD.
You can sharpen any metal club and call it a sword.

For home defense? hahaha, what if the burglar has a gun?
*cues KillBill theme song....
- For close quarters knife is better. Hands down. To hell with the sword thoughscrap_paper

its not a sword, a shotgun or a dog that is the perfect home defense.
get yourself a huge fat chick thats hard as nails and aint afraid of anyc*nt.
laugh as you watch burglars cry as she rips their nuts off rather than accidentally gettin your sword caught up in your curtains or shooting your kids with the shotgun or the dog mauling them one day.
