How not to use a ken
Wasn't sure whether to post this in weapons or humour
http://www.killsometime.com/Video/vi...Network-Katana
I know I bought my "replica" sword to smash on the table

A difficult problem is easily solved by asking yourself the question, "Just how would the Lone Ranger handle this?"

Re: How not to use a ken
Seen this one before - No dear sir! a 'katana' is NOT for hammering nails
What he does is about as clever as trying to cut a sausage with a hammer. It wont work and it makes a mess....

Re: How not to use a ken
must confess, I didn't search to see if it's been posted before, so apologies if you've seen it. Having said that, it does make me chuckle each time I see it

Re: How not to use a ken
looks like the point stuck him in the chest before bouncing off. Although, being harsh, does sound like he's whimping around a bit don't you think ?

Re: How not to use a ken
Wow...... ommm..... i'm kinda at a loss of words. 100% hillarious. I think it might have scratched him. But ya... he is...... being a bit dramatic about it.

He got what he deserves. Still funny no matter how many times I see this video. Plus it was a stainless steel wallhanger. All the more that he got what he deserves.

Re: How not to use a ken
Just goes to show- if your going to buy a katana, get a proper one....
Not one of these replicas. Oh yes and no blood because the blade is not live no doubt. For a proper forged blade that has been folded at least 500 times your are looking at at least £500- £600.
Thats about $1000 for our friends across the pond...

Re: How not to use a ken
LoL, I posted the same video in the humor section, but from a different site. Rumor has it that there is a longer version of that video out there somewhere, and that this copy of it has been "cut." I have not been able to find the full version yet, despite my mad-internet-geek skills... anyone know of a site?
