love the way his sword looks in that pic! One more thing about ken vs. jo: A lot of people think using a jo is pointless because the infinitely sharp sam-your-eye swords were too far superior. Not so! It's actually easier for the jo to break the ken!!! There's a convinient little spot near the habaki that, when hit, will break the sword in two!!! Metal harmonics is fun! Let's end all our sentences with exclaimation points! Multiple times!!!!! Also, you'd have to be like Swarsineggkak;lkadflkn...ah whatever, California's governor to cut a jo cleanly in half.
Is this something you've done or tried personally? Or seen done? Or know someone who has done it?
