RIP MAGNA CARTA Mar 17, 2012

I can't trust websites withy here advertising. If anyone owns a katana, any information would be great.

I bet I could find an entire forum dedicated to katanas. Probably get better answers than on a mobster game forum.

Nah, green is the way to go. And with a metal blade, preferably.

Does the quality really matter much. In modern society it's a purely decorative piece. I've played with $12,000 katanas and am quite happy with my wall hangers

I love Katanas. I am also deadly as hell with one. Watch the warriors way or play assassins creed to get a level of my skill. Btw, black Katanas are the way to go.

Quality matters. When a master swings a 100 dollar one it can break under the pressure. Good ones aren't that expensive, but EXTREMELY rare.

Get a wooden bokken. By the time you are ready to move to a real katana you will know what to get.

Bugei makes excellent katanas. They also used the highest quality Swedish folded steel.

Oh and I'd check out the dragonfly by Bugei. My favorite.

Try in Japan.
There are a few master swordsmiths left, hammering them out by hand.

Qvc had one years ago and it broke in half and stabbed the guy on air. I suggest against that one.

I have one I bought for about $13.50 at the mall. Not the best quality though, it got dented while I fought my friend with his. Red and black make the best combo btw

You can't take katanas out of japan. It's illegal in japan. They kinda frown on that and take it pretty serious.

I'm no swordsmith but I can actually hammer it out by hand. Preferably not my own but that's not always the case!
