Scott...I will never forgive you...Scott tried to convince me that the katana was an inferior weapon....I love the katana...And here he is telling me it sucks....I hate him for that...no one crushes me like that...i'll get him back....good... ok i have had a major change of heart here KATANAS SUCK they really do while i still admire and honor the weapon its very inefficet for killing so then what IS efficient? a shorter, lighter, and more flexable sword i know the japanese make them but i do not know the name the katana is a single strike weapon you basically dishonor it by blocking so someone with one of these short swords could easly dodge and put the sword through thier overly armored samurai i see you have to admit its still good but its not good enough yes...i guess i didn't do enough research... all the while my blood was boiling...hotter and hotter...and my heart was pounding....but i didn't have anything to back it up...no factual information...nothing...so i sat there...wallowing in my despair...as he disgraces my favorite weapon....i dont know why i feel so bad...i dont even have one....
