Man fights off home invasion with katana. WARNING NSFW link

http://knowledgeglue.com/man-uses-katana-stop-home-invasion-gory-aftermath-nsfw/

Warning the link has pictures of bad guys attacked by home owner with a katana. Its pretty gory.

I definitely need a good sword now. Anyone know of a good sword that isnt crazy expensive?

I like the homeowner’s attitude about resisting an attack. This homeowner is welcome in my neighborhood any day of the week.

Can’t wait until Steyr posts.

Chop suey!!.. Katana, the original Glock.:jester:

I heard it was this guys house.

Saw the pics and thought they didn’t appear that impressive. Then I read it was an elderly man and a decorative sword. Thugs are lucky it wasn’t a real katana and a stronger home owner.

I clicked the link hoping to see some good old fashion body parts laying around a house. I feel robbed.

Was my thoughts as well.

PM me, I can hook you up with something correct that won’t kill your budget.

He left them alive. He needs training, and something better than a decorative sword.

wonder if it was a Hatori Hanzo sword

Damn that looks like it hurt.

You are standing 10 feet from an opening outside in a field. You are both wearing T shirts. He has a holstered Glock. You can have any weapon you want. What do you choose?

This is my choice.

All advise welcome I’m not really informed enough to make good choice. Maybe one of our members could start a sticky on battle ready swords for defense. Some of us are required to travel in hostile territory and a sword in our hotel room or car may save our family’s bacon.

a rifle in ready position :slight_smile: I win :slight_smile:

good machete is nice to have and easy to justify why you have it :wink:

I prefer a corn knife, but would use a machete in a pinch.

Hell, when I read the thread title I thought it was Steyr’s home that must have been broken in.

a heavy ended but kinda square style machete used to trim coconut trees a lot :slight_smile:
cane knife or banana knife also look kinda like a corn knife that I googled unless you mean something else :wink:

not much corn in the islands :slight_smile: hahahahahaha

when I lived in Honduras watching some of the folks use the machete though doing gardening etc… freaking sharp and good with those things
micasa ? have to google it again but those had some nice steel for the more traditional looking machete

but the heavy end style seems like it could do a ton of damage with a hard swing as in lop off limbs I would think

Well, as Sharpe says, the point always beats the edge…

Cold Steel should hire the guy for demonstration videos cutting meat.
