what if the sword was a machined replica of a hand-made sword and precisely cut using lasers to give an extremely sharp edge. I think that sword would definately be better than you handmade JDM carp. USDM BABY!! WOOHOO!

It can be made hollow to be lighter and far sharper. So my machined ultra mega mega sword > your eating utensil

There is that aspect to it as well. That is the heat welding process, also called "billeting." My knowledge of forging comes from making knives and watching a sword being made, so I admit I am not the worlds foremost expert on swordmaking.

Kane:

A hollow sword wouldn't do much for you except shatter nicely when you tried a cut

My dad has 2 samurai swords, he plays with them once in a while, and I am smart and I stay the hell away.

why do you think that Dave (the guy taking the pics) was about 5 meters from me when I went through the kata for the pics? Safety first

I have to say, people like you are the reason that this site shouldn't have an off topic section. You are a ing idiot. Go troll on ClubSI or something, no one likes your single celled banter here, peon.
