It is for home protection as well, though I hope I never have to use it in that way.

Katanas are nice for offensive fighting, but I prefer longswords all around. Can't stand short swords, though.

cool

I've been wanting to learn fencing, but the classes are so darn expensive

the reason i prefer knives over swords is because knives are easier to toss when you need to. it's a lot harder to through a sword at someone. but swords are fine by me, i guess a few shuriken and an odichi would work well together.

Just like you always carry a pistol when you fight with a more powerful gun, the same thing goes for knives and swords. Knives are like a sidearm.

i suppose so. but i'd just feel more at ease with a good knife in my hand over a sword.

If someone with a knife fought someone with a sword, I think I know who'd win...

you forget that you have to draw a knife as well and if the person with the sword is good enough, i.e. me (without sounding big headed) you can successfully either dodge the knife or deflect it while in the same move set launch an attack of your own.

how bout this. I'll get a good pair of knives, you get your katana, and well meat somewhere and you wont know i'm there till you're drenched in your own blood.

i'd make a good assassin if i were so inclined, and if my legs weren't mess'd up.

What if I throw my knife first?
