Also, these fancy toys are hard to find! Relying on your own skills is much wiser.

Yep...and if all else fails I can resort to my axe, sword and shield. It can be more fun too. Lol.
You are so crazy like me, LOL! I'm sharpening some katanas right now; and I have an axe from Fiskar!
But I'd have to run out of pew pews first....
👍😁💗🎯🤠👌
I am a bit, sometimes. It keeps things interesting right? I've got a few Fiskars axes, pretty good quality, keep their edge and all. Good for cleaving things in twain. Lol.
A bit? Right now lots of crazy is better! It does allow for unlimited options....
The Fiskar products are top quality, and even when I'm trying to prep on a budget; some really good gear is still required. I did buy it on sale though, LOL!
Cleaving in twain like the black knight on Monty Python? Yup, that's what it's for! The katanas are supposed to be real, but they are a good copy; with many folded steel layers. It's good steel, and is beginning to show a nice edge. Once sharpened they will have to stay in the scabbard as much as possible, dangerous to handle....

You know you've got a good edge when you say, needs to remain in the scabbard as it's too dangerous.
I've seen people cut themselves badly through poor handling techniques.
I bought a friend of mine a SOG key knife like mine for her keyring. It's sharp. I get mine through airport security every time, just looks like a key. Anyway, she used it to cut some cable ties on her desk at work, nearly sliced her finger right off. Dumbass. Lol.
Had she had that katana she might be minus one head.
There is no substitute for a really fine edge! And handling is an issue, so I intend to be very careful after it's sharpened. I will initially practice with one of the dull ones, until I get it into muscle memory. Then I'll see if I can do some damage to some target items!
I had an idiot in high school that grabbed a knife I was sharpening on the bus to the vo tech. He drew it across his thumb...and cut it to the bone! He didn't even know he'd cut himself....
