<Snip Kyotos stuff about Katanas>
I own a Katana. It was japanese made(I think), And is very good quality.
And what you said about being taken seriously, when I'm outside
practicing with my sword, people walking by tend to either stop nad
admire the blade(mostly gang members) or start to walk faster.So I guess
they do take this chunk of 440 stainless steel more seriously than I
would have thought.
