Swords!

[Alpha Omega]

If I were you, I'd aim for a Kotetsu or a Wakizashi.  Very useful katanas.

If you're looking for something less japanese...
A rapier, or a zweihander if you want something so big it can split a tree trunk.

[Lazlo Falconi]

You shouldn't cut trees with swords. But I wouldn't expect you to know that.

[Alpha Omega]

I know quite a bit all forms of medieval weaponry.

While a normal sword shouldn't...with a zweihander it doesn't matter.  the zweihanders weren't users because they were sharp.  They were used because their sheer mass could split someone in two like a wedge, regardless of sharpness.  The fear of a zweihander came not from dying by it, but from slowly dying in a most painful fashion.

chainsaw > sword

chainsaw > sword

Quoted for truth.

But seriously, Katana.  No question.  Battle-ready.  And NOTHING from the flea markets!  They suck!

That's dumb. Most katanas nowadays aren't battle-ready.

Anyway, I've reffered him to some sites which have some battle ready blades (as well as some not-so-battle ready), so we'll see what he comes up with.

I'll say the same thing I said on random insanity, screw katanas they suck, get yourself a european blade like a bastard, long sword, or claymore. Also try to get a spanish sword they look good.

[Lazlo Falconi]

You and your racist crap.

[Anime man]

who the heck r u calling racist???

[Lazlo Falconi]

Anyone who shares the stupid idea that Japanese society and everything that comes from Japan is superior to everything else in the world.

[Byte Man Zero]

Lazlo, I'm not saying that, so don't put words into my mouth.  All I am saying is that katanas are perfectly balanced (literally), and they are the sharpest things on the market.

And for your information, my uncle has a katana that was forged in the traditional style.  It IS battle-ready, and would slice almost ANYTHING in half.  He acknowledges it's superiority, and he celtic!

That is stupid. Just because something is a katana does not mean it is perfectly balanced, or at all sharp.

Hey, I speak from personal experience, here.  I see your point, but we're just gonna have to agree to disagree.
