I'm sorry, I've seem to have given the impression, somehow, that I am lurking about my house at night like some crazed vigilante Jedi wanna-be. This is not the case.
I like swords.
I like to know how to use swords.
I was wondering if there is an ideal geometry for a particular type of blade compared to an individual.
I have the means to get a custom sword, and want to get the best value for my money as well as the most efficient tool.
That's pretty much it.
The circumstances which would require its use in defending my family are
highly unlikely. There is, regrettably, a non-zero chance that I will have an intruder and that the boken, kitchen knife, baseball bat, other sword, spear, chemical reagents, kukri, teddy bear, dictionary, flintlock rifle, cash, iron, fry pan, scimitar, guppy or any other potential implement of harm that I own will be farther away than this, currently potential, custom sword.
I do, however, appreciate y'all's concern that I am about to do something foolish. Thank you. I am not.
Thank you to those who replied.
