I was kinda thinking about how it would be fun to have at least one sword hanging on the wall, as a nice complement to art & photos & such. I did mention I was a bachelor, didn't I?
So what sword should I get? The criteria are:
Original(preferred) or quality reproduction (it is really hardened and can take a sharp edge)
nice looking and/or interesting history
useful for defense, in the rare chance some nitwit bursts in before I can get to a gun.
Tolerably priced (like say under $500)
Seems like some of the original Katanas (and repros) I have seen on Ebay would qualify, as would a lot of military sabers, heck even some tomahawks might qualify as well.
Suggestions?
