Sure, but let’s be real: the weapon itself matters far less than the person wielding it. It doesn't matter if you're holding a high-end tactical knife or just a basic folding blade.

Take Miyamoto Musashi, for instance. As he aged, he started relying almost exclusively on a bokken—a wooden training sword—and he still managed to clinch his most legendary duel against Sasaki Kojiro with it. Most people back then were obsessed with swapping a katana for a smaller wakizashi, and so on...

Look, it isn't about the hardware; it's about the internal energy behind the strike.

😂🙂

I honestly don't get it. Why is nobody in the UFC utilizing Kung Fu or those "spiritual energy" techniques? Is it because the "tradition" of Kung Fu forbids it? Or maybe they just can't pull it off.

Quincy:

Don't believe everything you hear. And no, they don't go sharpening blades under a waterfall.

You clearly have no clue what you're talking about.😂

A true master? When he grips a katana, the chi energy flows through the blade, causing it to self-sharpen... were you unaware of that?🙂 🙂

Since we're on the subject, though—is anyone heading to the Shaolin Kung Fu demonstration at Madison Square Garden? They say the actual monks from Shaolin are coming.

Anyone got an extra ticket? I'm looking to pay $50 😲 😲

I'm not dropping that much cash, but I'd really love to catch the show.

Quincy:

Mine isn't a "battle" blade, though it's stainless steel—top tier for that category. Sure, you could hack a limb off with it, but if that thing hits high-quality, expensive steel? It’s game over. It’s cheap, sure, but like I said, it’s priced way too low. It’s that classic "I know a guy who knows a guy" kind of setup.

Then we aren't talking about a real katana anymore; it's just a wall ornament.

Besides, how do they even sell those things in corner stores without the cops busting them?

Now, it all depends on your objective. If you just want a wall hanger or something for practicing kata, stainless steel is fine—maybe look in the $400-$333 range. But if you’re actually looking for steel meant for a real Fight and cutting? That’s a different price bracket entirely. You’re looking at a minimum of a Cold Steel model or maybe something from Paul Chen; those are your real best buys. Honestly, don't expect to find anything decent for less than $500 or $600.

Exactly what I said: this guy is a real sweetheart.🙂

I couldn't care less about fighting. My interest lies in the perfection and the sheer beauty of a traditional katana—and sure, some cutting, but just a single Letter through the woods... ha! Just me and the Forester out there.🙂

Porky Pig has a fetish for amputations.

Kill Bill rules😁 .. The first one, obviously🙂 🙂

Sure, they’re useless if you’re just trying to look cool for protection... plus they're illegal for that. You can't carry them out in public. Not even nunchucks.

Someone please explain what's going on here.. What is this nonsense about not being able to touch "long knives" or Cat's katanas?

You can kill a man with a kitchen knife.. just look at the selection of high-end cutlery they have over at General Electric in the city..

🙂

In my view.. a baseball bat is far more lethal than knives or swords... yet somehow everyone assumes it's perfectly legal to carry one.. strange

And you can just make your own nunchucks🙂

Just two pieces of wood or metal connected by a chain or some rope🙂

Quinn:

Man, those Gurkha kukris look lethal. Once I've got the cash, I'm definitely picking one up.

Wait, what even is this...?

Look, everyone knows that if you have a high-quality katana, a true master can slice right through a steel pillar.😲

At least, that’s the legend.

Quinn:

The balance is better, allowing for massive striking power without needing insane physical strength.

Well, obviously that's harder for someone who hasn't a clue how to actually wield a katana...

You have to feel it. That surge of energy flowing through you, through the blade. Just... like that. 😂😂🙂

Quinn:

The budget range sits somewhere between $500 and $1,000. Quality varies wildly—you can find decent stuff, then there's the tier costing tens of thousands. And don't even get me started on custom, hand-forged masterpieces.

For a katana?

So, what about yours? How much did you drop...?? And where'd you pick it up?

Quinn:

If we’re going to brag about legitimate blades, I’ve got a real katana coming my way. Soon after, I'm picking up a crossbow equipped with high-end optics for big game hunting. Go ahead, feel free to volunteer for the beta test.

😲 😲

So, where does one actually buy a REAL katana, and what’s the damage? I’m looking to make a serious purchase—not that cheap garbage you find in mall kiosks for $67 that’s duller than a butter knife.

Quinn:

I don't even own a TV.

😲 😲 😲

Godless, you're something else🙂 🙂

And Villa Maria 😂😂🙂

Quinn:

When I think of knights, I picture you stuck in some nerdy roleplay scenario... you know, that specific crowd wearing pajama sets and foam armor, sprinting through the woods like total weirdos.

And what exactly was your grand vision? Should they have just rolled up in Levi’s instead?😂 😂🙂

Quincy:

Dorothy is my secret torment and my deepest ache. She’s the kind of woman you stare at from across the street because you know damn well you don't have the guts to actually walk up and talk to her.

😂

As far as that absolute nightmare goes, get in line.😂
But stay BEHIND me.🙂 🙂 😂

Quincy:

Dorothy is my secret torment and my deepest ache.

YES, Dorothy.😍

No, not really—it’s just some coarse fuzz. 😂😂

Jamie Cox48 said:And maybe he’s got a spare set of whiskers where they don't belong. 😁 🙂

😂😂

A little fuzz upon the lip😂

Honestly, I still can't wrap my head around WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON WITH THE EARS 😂😂😂

Shumar and the handyman say:
You know I'm busy trying to charm master Alabaster, right? Every little bit of attention helps, and then you come at me like this. Since when did you even see my backside? Honestly, you can barely tell where your head ends and your rear begins.
😲 👎

That kind of talk works on women 😂😂

Is that how it is, masterblaster? 😎 🙂

Hey Shumar—and the name really says it all—first you’re stripping down for anyone who looks, and now you’re hunting for a blaster? You’re a true professional gigolo. 😂😂

And frankly, I have no clue which end is up. Maybe my intuition is reading your mustache rather than some little forest growing on your backside.🙂

Jamie Cox48 said:And how exactly do you claim to know that?

😂😂

Pure intuition. 😂😂

...it’s all just a bunch of nonsense!

Listen, I know you’ve got a whole forest growing on your backside🙂 🙂 🙂😂

Naked people are just heaps of meat. People wearing clothes actually possess opinions and convictions.
Isn't an emotion expressed through clothing just another way of stating an opinion?

😂 And yet, you somehow disagree with that🙂

Jamie Cox48 said:Practice makes perfect, they say. As if repetition alone could fix a fundamental lack of talent. 😁

😂😂

🙂

People tend to pin their happiness and their love onto external things, but both exist entirely independent of any object.

I suppose I didn't phrase that perfectly, but I trust you all catch my drift.

clothing dictates emotion

I honestly don't get you🙄

The idea that naked people lack all emotion is just absurd.🙄 🙂
