This is just very gruesome but a good representation of what it my end up looking like if you defend your self with a blade.

"An Argentine steelworker and his wife were awoken early Friday morning by a gang of armed burglars looting their house. Two of the three men had guns, but they didn't get a chance to use them before the sleepy homeowner*took a samurai sword off the wall*and savagely*"smote them in the arms"with it."

This is the story with a pic of the gore encrusted getaway car

This is a album with a bunch of pictures of the incident, including injuries (nsfw) or your stomach for that matter

This is another album that contains more photos of the injured robbers (nsfw) that elbow with the chunks of joint coming out is extra nasty

Other countries heck and a few of these not so united states have arse backwards ideas about self defense, and who knows maybe he chased these guys out the house screaming "THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!"
 
A few years ago a BG broke into a house across town and kept running into the same piece of galvanized pipe. I never saw anything but the deputy I talked with said the guy hurt himself pretty badly on that piece of pipe.
 
So this just further reaffirms my belief that it completely and utterly sucks to be chopped with a sword.

Hell, I think ide rather be shot than end up like that

Wow. The guy that took the shot to the head nearly lost the ear. Too bad the rest of the scars will be able to be covered, at least open visible scars make people question, and would serve as a reminder not to steal other people's stuff.
 
The take-away here is that a ferociously executed defense with a decorative sword drove invaders with guns off the property.
 
Geeze!

What if it hadn't have been a dull decorative sword wielded by an amateur?

And instead, a really sharp Katina wielded by an expert swordsman!

They wouldn't be getting ears and fingers shown back on I betcha!!

Typical media bias. 3 guys--2 of which were armed with guns--invade a home and are called "alleged burglars" in the headline. Homeowner protecting his wife and home is called a "katana-wielding maniac". Good job by the "maniac". Shows the importance of mindset when confronted by superior odds in a life or death confrontation.
 
Why am I reminded of my uncle sitting down next to his anvil and pushing his hat brim up with a thumb...

Girl- keep in mind the deadliest weapon in mankind's arsenal is kept inside the few cubic inches inside every person's skull. The race isn't to the swift, that battle isn't to the strong, it's to the crazy son of a ... gun that is thinking about winning no matter what it takes.

Something to keep in mind when you consider this guy that took a knife to a gun fight.

So, there are a few things I am just itching to say here.

If the fellow is a "steel worker," does it mean that his day job is some kind of smelting operations kind of grunt fellow? Or is there something more subtle? That fellow could be a blacksmith who may be one of those custom swordsmiths who practices with his blades. :neener: Those decorative blades may have been hand forged, differentially tempered, layered carbon steel he made, and wrapped up and hung on the wall for just an occasion for home defense.

Here would be the OTHER irony. Assuming this fellow really is just a regular factory worker, and had the cheap decorative swords on the wall, those photos show some nasty wounds where cheap 420J steel or lesser could do such damage. SO, 22 to 26 inches of pot metal sharpened enough to slice and hack, would be pretty darned good against flesh and bone. Makes all kinds of super steel discussions a reminder of how much overkill these performance steels would be for a defensive situation.

Those slices really showed some depth of cut. I would swear those 3 young punks would wear the scars and tell the tale of wrong-victim and wrong-place.
 
For years and years before I got into guns, my go to apartment defenses were large knives and swords.

My bump in the night blade of choice was an Himalayan Imports "Everest Katana". Basically a heavy and not exactly graceful interpretation of the traditional katana that makes up for its lack of traditional styling with brute strength and being nearly indestructible. It could cleave and slice through pretty much anything, and I clocked in a fair amount of time swinging the weighty thing. Fingers and ears? Nah, arms and heads. One reviewer with a similar blade hacked through a free hanging cow spine like butter.

These days, it's a high cap 9mm and a carbine that defends the hearth. That said, my old faithful kat still rests by my bedside. In the midst of dire tuations, I would still be glad to have it in hand.

ever see pictures of someone whos been shanked in prison?...those were with sharpened tooth brushes and scrap steel from bed frames......

hell, i nearly cut myself opening clamshell packaging....just so long as its half way sharp and pointy itll cut through flesh pretty easily......it doesnt have to be "sweedish razor steel 90000" to get the job done.
 
I have an 18-20" Kukri, I'm certain it's a cheapo make for tourists or display. But that thing is so thick and heavy it's like a long bladed axe, and it's freakin' scary sharp! I'm not much of a blade guy other than bayonets, I have this because it was $40. But honest to God, I hate handling it because it really is razor sharp, and I'm kinda scared of it. I can't even imagine getting hacked with it, it would cleave an arm smooth off with no problem. And probably cut halfway through the body afterwards.

The thought of any kind of combat with blades has always given me the willies. Modern warfare with guns and explosives is bad enough, but the thought of thousands of years of armies clashing together with blades and spears..... The millions who've suffered horrific injuries, brutal maiming, and gruesome deaths. Pretty damned scary IMO.

Sharia law comes home to roost for those boyz, and Australia laws suck big time; how did those robbers get guns with the stringent back ground checks and bans?
 
Oh! No need to have a sword instead of a gun there! I went bird hunting there, it is a pretty kewl place. Yep we will have problems telling who is who slipping across our southern border. :(
 
Dang gum those 3 ran into a Buzz saw. As I was told when I was in Military Science , if you face a overwhelming force and you can retreat do so if not Attack.
