I've got to say -- those are some pretty amazing swords. and you're right, the light cavalry saber is incredible, and I like the cutlass as well.

Man defends himself, friend with samurai sword

A Muncie man went to jail and suffered injuries from a samurai sword in late November after a failed attempt to break into another person's house to get his wife back, according to The Muncie Star Press.

According to a Muncie Police Department report, Joseph M. Hartman, 28, and friends Bobby Joe Overbay, 18, and Matthew Michail Wilson, 23, broke into Jessy Mann's house Nov. 22 to "take Hartman's estranged wife by force."

Mann told The Star Press the three men entered his house and refused to leave after he asked them. They began throwing things at him including an alarm clock and furniture. Mann grabbed a collectible sword and swung at the three, hitting Hartman in the head and chest and Overbay in the forehead.
"It was crazy," Mann told The Star Press. "It was like something you would see in a movie."

Before leaving the scene, the three men got into a Jeep Cherokee and crashed into the house three times.

Police arrested the suspects and took them to Ball Memorial Hospital before taking them to the Delaware County Jail.

Mann told the Star Press he never intended the sword to be a weapon and was glad no one was hurt.

"I just like swords," he said. "I just have them around for novelty. I never expected I'd have to do some crazy stuff like that."

I love the two Cold Steel knives that I have. Great construction and super sharp. I have the MED. TANTO POINT VOYAGER and the Safe Maker II

I don't know, Chad. Lynn C Thompson looks like the kinda guy who would take a sword to a gun fight. If the gun fight were in his mother's basement.

Never got the point of fancy concept swords, most of those are horrible inefficient, and as a result, useless.

The 1830 Napoleon saber is my favorite, a friend of mine owns one and soon I will too!

This thread makes me sad.
