a proper samurai sword in the hands of a master swordsman can cut multiple people in half in one blow so... it was improper use that did him in

Cover the cheese with half inch plate armor and see what happens!
Construct a replica of traditional samurai battle regalia from salty crackers, and adorn the cheese with it, then cut it.
Psh, please. Go for historical accuracy.

Construct a replica of traditional samurai battle regalia from salty crackers, adorn the cheese with it, then stab it.
...Or, have the cheese cut itself to satisfy its honour.

first of all .. that isn't a PROPER samurai sword ... the ones i have from aikido class are all folded steel and each worth more than a grand .. that's just some cheap camden replica

secondly .. a proper samurai sword can quite easily take a low calibur round and even split it ... and a PROPER samurai sword would've gone through that cheese with nothing but its own weight (you wouldn't have had to swing ... not that i'd call that a swing)
HEY a fellow Aikidoka!
my thoughts exactly it was probly a hanwei practical i have one of those from when i started collecting i just use it for show im gonna save up for a really nice one blood line and everything probly gonna change the hilt though cause i'd rather have the hilt from my first boken (more energy in it i guess)

I'd like to see you try that on a moving target. I'm so tired of all the weeaboos who feel like they have to prostrate themselves over katana without understanding one thing whatsoever about the importance of the dai-sho. You want to feel like Chrisopher Lambert? You want to feel like you live your life by the rules of bushido? Then peel your ass away from the computer screen and go take some kendo classes.

Real kendo-ka would be absolutely thrilled to take you on wearing no bogu or men, with just their bamboo shinai. They will show just what they think about over-privileged little yuppie larva who have more money than sense, and feel like they could take a centuries old way of life and cut cheese with it.
A man on a mission to prove the Internet is serious business. chill out a bit you'll live longer.

On side note i have never seen the users of the escapist get so disgruntled about such a small issue. If the dude bought a replica sword and wants to use it to cut cheese then fair enough. Who really cares if they are screwing around a bit ?
