  • Big bad sword

    You might think you can't live without your phone and laptop, but back when men were men and things made sense, a big fucking sword was all you needed. These days, however, swords are strictly for weirdos. [ColdSteel via Geekologie]

      Two things come to mind. The sword Ice from A Song of Ice and Fire (George R.R. Martin) and Deadliest Warrior on Spike. They measured the lethality of a Scottish claymore on one ep (William Wallace vs Shaka Zulu) and it was brutal. Big swords = lots of damage. If you can dodge the bullets to get close enough.

        I'm actually buying a katana (Shinken) for cutting mats and stuff. An art called Tameshigiri.

        I've done it about 6 times, and really love the art.

          Just 1055 Carbon Steel, they don't seem to do any of the tricks that proper "premium" swords use.

          Eg cold folding, hardening with nitrides...etc

          Its a toy
