In case Y'all haven't figured it out my reasons for wanting a Japanese style blade follows:
1. I like the way they look 2. I have wanted one for over 50 years and have had a few, wall hangers, not counting my real WWII Wakizashi or my Honshu. 3. I DO NOT like Wall Hangers in ANY kind of bladed instrument. 4. To use against "Bad Guy" in the event a gun can not be utilized (when we Vacation it will be going with us) and It is "Do or Die". 5. Look neat on display at home, that is why I want a larger and smaller blade.
There is nothing wrong with just wanting something ... especially when its a good weapon!!!
