reverse blade sword

[matsumo itsu offline]

Hi guys me with another question.I'm wanting to buy a reverse blade sword after Christmas but i don't know if my parents will let me. What should i do?

*laughing* I really don't know what to tell you. If they think you're too young they sure as heck aren't going to buy you a sword. Try starting off with a wooden training sword, or a lightsaber. When you've proved to your parents that you can flail it around without cutting your head off, then maybe they'll buy it. If it's just to showcase on the wall then I don't see why they shouldn't get it.
By the way, I don't think this kind of topic is going to spark much discussion besides more "oh it's that kid who is training to be a ninja" controversy. Be careful that what you post won't be considered spam. The moderators are watching. *looks around frightened*

what's wrong with a normal sword? A reverse blade? isn't that kinda like where the killing edge is on YOUR side of the bargain?

[Overcaffeinated Sloth offline]

Seriously, it''s a weapon. you're not gonna get one any time soon, and not until you're mature enough to use it (AKA, if you're gonna go running around in your u8nderewar with it, don't. You're not ready)

So, practice with a wooden sword for now, and get really good. Ypou'll learn a lot of good techniques.

Lightsaber, huh? I'm sure that's a lot more safe. I would know.;D

Dude, if it's to show, they should get it.
If it's to play around with, that's illegal. But I didn't say they shouldn't buy it.

Do you want a sword? Are you that ninja crazy? Let me tell you one thing:

FORGET ABOUT IT.

[JesusFreak offline]

I concur.

You aren't going to get anywhere if you dress up in Spandex and shoot metal stars at inanimate/animate objects. You have to have a real job, or else you're going to be like the Chief in Cuckoo's Nest, who thought he was going to be a Chief: in the mental hospital, making friends with Jack Nicholson. Focus your sights on other careers, like music or computers. I don't think of being a big rock star (sometimes), but I'd like to be a computer technician or a book writer (if I can improve) or an artist (albeit very experimental). I don't ever think about being a ninja. That's too risky and plus, they dress funny.

The sword...FORGET ABOUT IT!!

[Kamekai offline]

Dress... funny?

I disagree!

[zex marquise offline]

OUCH! See what I mean? I could sense it coming. I'm psychic like that. Seriously guys, lay off him. If he wants to train to be a ninja then let him. I'm sure the secret service or Chinese police (like Rush Hour 2) could find a use for him. as for the sword, train with a wooden one.

I meant toy lightsabers. They're fun.

and so are the real ones!

I just called my sword expert friend and he said reverse blade swords don't exist and whoever thinks they do should pull their head out of a samurai X cartoon...harsh...but anyway. he says get an iyato (I think that's how it's spelled). It's the kind of sword he has. It's really good for stuff but not sharp at all so you won't cut yourself

[ambitiouslove offline]

Wow... some harsh replies :O
He didn't say he wanted it to try and be Kenshin or anything...
(But if you did, I would try looking up replica swords... I did the google work for you and found this: Kenshin replica blade)
Besides from using it, you could also put it for display.

I collect blades and so do my husband. We don't use all of them, some of them are just for display or collectable items. The only one I use is my Cold Steel knife.... And I don't want to be a ninja unless I can be one with Real Ultimate Power. D:

We have a candy/souvenir shop in town that sells loads of katanas if you like those.

I'm being serious for once. >_>

mmm thats incorrect. Cheif didn't think he was an indian chief. the fellow residence decided to call him that because of his native american heritage and because they figured he was deaf and dumb and couldn't understand them anyway. His problem was his insecurity, he didn't think highly of himself and saw everyone as bigger then him. And now bare in mind Cheif was like 7 feet tall.

R.P. McMurphy was a kickass character though

Hmm, I'd say go for it. Personally, a samurai is what I'd rather train as, but, whatever floats your boat dude.
