    Nice documentary:

    A tranquil mind is neither happy nor sad, it is uninfluenced by external conditions.

    Why all that work when you reuse a leaf spring? I have ideas of a X-bow using leaf springs shaped with a wet cutting wheel, and use a cordless screwdriver transmission to build the necessary pressure in a single action bow for greater speed and viscosity. I’m thinking a rack and pinion on a combination wood and steel mainframe would work flawless, steel projectiles too, auto-load from a clip underneath!

    I could see that doing some damage…

    I own a Katana, a thing of beauty. But I don’t have a clue how to use it. I actually bought it at a convention which probably means if I ever decided to embrace my inner Samurai it would probably snap like a twig. And even if it didn’t? I am more liable to gut myself like a fish than my opponent.

    Yea, if you have one of the sharp ones you really do have to be careful! I think the Practical Katana comes barely sharp, but it is meant to be sharpened and used in cutting exercises… Even before it is sharpened it could be a bit on the sketchy side if one were to mess up while swinging it around…

    My Ninjato was super sharp right out of the box.

    I used to fence, both sport and historical. My preference is for sabre, although I have fought with rapier/epée as well.

    I have the Cold Steel 1797 Light Cavalry sabre and would recommend it without hesitation.
