Samurai Katana
My Evening With The Ninja Samurai Warrior
There is a story I must tell you. It requires me along with a ninja sword. There are not many people who know this story given it was a delicate situation. So delicate I shutter just thinking about it now. A ninja sword is not in a situation that you should be apart of and especially when you don't have one yourself.
Everything started years ago when I was the tv show personality, Kristoff Handleson. We utilized to catch criminals trying to seduce people against their will. There is this one episode where I recall this guy. Average size using a trench coat walking into our decoy houses. The decoy told him to have a seat as they went to get clothes out of your dryer. The guy was calm and politely sat at the counter.
This is the point where I come out and pay attention to their excuses about how precisely this was an oversight and they didn't come there for that. This time, however, it was different. I've got a transcript of what transpired after i entered the bedroom
Me: What are you doing here?
Him: I came here trying to find booty
Me: (Which has a shocked look on my face) You came for sex with an under age boy?
Him: I didnrrrt come in charge of no little boys. I ain't got no milk. No cookies. None of these. I came here seeking man's butt!
Me: A guys butt??
Him: Yeah. I realize who you are, Kristoff Handleson. I enjoy call ya Kris Handsome. Now I say to you what: I prefer ya and I want ya. Now we are able to do this the easiest way or we could do this hard way. Are you going to...
Break: He pulls out an extremely magnificent Katana sword as he's finishing his spill. At this point, I am shocked and appalled but I can not back down before cameras. In hindsight, I should probably have...
Me: Pardon me, but I can't think we'll be doing anything, just about any way.
Him: Therefore i see you choosing hard way...
Break: I finally decided to cut the tape and merely get the cops in that room to arrest the guy but I used to be sadly past too far. I was attacked while using sword and basically embarrassed before my peers. I never wanted to be involved with that relate after that. My date using the Ninja Warrior would have been a terrible experience and that i hope when confronted with the same situation you will do the contrary of some tips i did and acquire out of there.

katana/samurai swords?
if i were to buy a real japanese samurai or katana sword that say they are made in japan. (i know the fakes will say made in china lol.) but how can i tell the difference between the real and the fakes if they both have japanese symbols on them. are there curtain specs, like the curve in the blade, length, etc.
dude im pretty sure the japanese makes some cheap fake ones.
Your best bet to buy a good katana is to stick with a know/reputable seller. Bugei Trading company sells excellent katana. Expect to pay for the quality. If you are on a tighter budget Cheness sells pretty good katana for the price. Expect to pay at least $230 or more for a Cheness katana and more for the Bugei.

By the way I practice Iaido with the Kaze Ko-Katana from Cheness. It cost me about $240. The quality is good and the shorter blade length fits my style and my body size (I'm short).

EDIT:
I thought I'd heard about all the variations on what is and what is not a legitimate Katana. I see some answers here that are saying that the sword must have this symbol next to the maker name and something about some kanji engraved in gold,...etc. I don't know where you guys get this stuff. There may be cases of that, but it is certainly not the norm. There are some antique swords that have kanji on the tang. Then again I know of swords that are antique, yet have no kanji at all. The comment about the handle length really gets me too. I was told by an authority on Japanese swords that the samurai actually tended to have longer Tsuka/Handles than many of the swords you see today. The comment about Tsuka having two pegs is also not correct. A katana having tow pegs is a good thing. but most have only one. That certainly does not mean that it is less than a good sword. Come on guys!
NOTE: some of the Paul Chen swords are OK. The problem with them is they are as heavy as a lead pipe. I had a Golden Oriel a few years ago. It tired me out holding it up. I quickly sold it and got a better sword that is well made and much lighter. The Paul Chen would have been able to stand hard use, but It would be so slow to use that I'd get killed using it against a skilled person with a more reasonable weight.
