    Don't try this at home! These guys are highly trained warriors.

    Very cool. That looks ideal for home defense........or not. About as ideal as a Desert Eagle with hollow point rounds.
    I would consider buying something like that if I had the money and a good place to store it just because.
    reminds me of Highlander

    Only if you have the room to swing it. I'd be taking out chunks of wall board if I swung that thing anywhere inside the house.

    Cutting that trash barrel full of water was impressive though.

    That was always my sword of choice in D&D.

    My sword of choice in life, is the katana.

    Nothing to make you feel awesome quite like pummeling six pounds of sword through a dead pigs face to the sounds of cheesy rock n' roll riffs...

    "I love that ching!"

    Yeah, Cold Steel is serious about their swords. The test video for their katana is pretty ridiculous.

    I'm a fan of their Chinese war sword, myself. That thing is like a two-handed meat cleaver.

    Weirdly, there are probably people watching that, saying "Yeah, that's exactly what I need for the melee we have planned for the weekend". Just don't bring a sword to a gunfight ;)

    Certainly not. There is a special kind of retard that devotes their time to learning ancient weapons for the purpose of using them to defend their home.

    There haven't been a lot of visigoths, Mongolian horsemen or Vikings passed the house lately. I'm just not seeing the need (though carving the roast would be mighty impressive).

    I have a one and a half hand bastard sword, myself. I sleep with it next to my bed, and I do have defense in mind. Most burglars in our area are not heavily armed (i.e, they usually don't carry guns, according to police statistics); and besides, I think anyone is likely to freeze up a bit if a big naked hairy Jew wielding a claymore and screaming a Hebrew battle cry comes flying at them out of the dark....

    I've seen pictures of you, brother. You don't need the sword. The beard and a good war cry would be enough.

    I don't know about you guys, but the way that guy popped the balloon really made me question my manhood. And to think all these years I've been using pins like some kind of pussy.

    The fat guy, while certainly representing the target market, is a terrible person to choose for demonstrations (though he's madly entertaining as I keep thinking he's going to keel over clutching his chest after every strike).

    All I kept thinking throughout the video was, "Wow, these guys really like chopping meat."

    I hope they didn't let that beautiful meat go to waste. Brush off the dirt and grill 'er up.

    I hope they were given proper burials.

    I would prefer a katana. There was one shot in the video where he was cutting through the board but only made it halfway and I thought: a katana could've done that and gone all the way through, easy.
