Angel Sword, unless I am mistaken is right down the road from me. He cryo's his product too.

SMART MAN!!

That sword is absurd. I want to know if this man has ever worked for an organization known as "SOLDIER," and how Shin-Ra Inc.'s stock is doing ASAP.

That sword is absurd.

Absurd, how? You need a long weapon when fighting people on horseback (those blades have a nickname of "Horsekiller").

Most commonly, they were used ceremonially, or as gifts, and were made to show off the swordsmith's skills since they are MUCH harder to make than a regular Katana or Wakazashi.

My dumbass ex-neighbor had a beautiful samurai sword he inherited from his grandfather, who received it from a Japanese officer during the surrender on the USS Missouri at the end of WWII. The officer was thought to have committed seppuku afterwards. The sword supposedly had a ridiculously high value; he's a dumbass because he sold it for a pittance on ebay or such when he got hard up for money.

Oh, btw, I was aware of how many mats equaled how many bodies, that's why I used the .

[Jericho941]

Ahem.

Anyway, yeah, that was cool.

[Mud_Dog]

Ahem.

Anyway, yeah, that was cool.

Oh, I got it, but I just couldn't think of anything witty to add.

Something like, "it's still too short, but probably work just as good for murdering flower merchant girls." It just doesn't come out right.

Plus I took the last nerd reference with the Black Lagoon stuff. It's someone else's turn dammit!

[Dedicated_Dad]

by a gaijin no less, huh?

[workinwifdakids]

I need a good 6" more blade, and 2" more hilt just to be in proper proportion with proper grip.

Hey, don't underestimate yourself, big guy.
