And a car or two no doubt. More lethal then a couple things people are listing.

Forgot to mention my buffalo jawbone weapon. Bought it in a gift shop 15 years ago, it's painted, has fur and rawhide decoration, and a really nasty sharpened tip that would cause quite a gash before it broke off...

Hey, when you've got room to swing one of those properly, they can be pretty damned deadly. A friend of mine put a pretty big gouge in a wooden pillar with his machete.

I have a collection of some very nasty silver forks. Tresspassers, beware.

Have a very nice day.

Oh, and did I mention that they're absolutely great for fighting off vampires/werewolves? Gives them the shits every time

Have a very nice day.

Ah, my bad. A deranged rabid Fiver armed with forks it is then.

I also have a letter opener. It's not very sharp, but this makes it even more painful for them as I cut their limbs off.

Have a very nice day.

No, I have no idea how well they would fare against a traditionally forged Katana, but they do wonders against old furniture, 2x4's, baseball bats, each other, metal bars, hockey sticks
Have you tried them steel on steel combat with an edge?
440 is at the better end of materials used for mass produced swords, but to be honest, it'll still get broken in a full on contact with another blade.

I'd be intrested if you still have the order codes on those items, I know for sure the swords of darkness are pure decorative shit, but the highlander knock off might be one of the others apart from the UC piece, which would mean something a little tougher than a rat tail tang, but that wouldn't alter it's fate in any real blade to blade contact.

Unfortunately, no I don't

I can tell you the prices for a few of them (note: They were not ordered via Swordsonline.com) All prices are American

Highlander Katana: $250 plus tax
Claymore: $210 plus tax
Katana Set: $140 plus tax
Sword of the Daywalker: $110 plus tax

The Claymore has done blade to blade combat already, and it's just fine.
(A friend of mine has a REAL Katana, and we did a quick 'fencing'. He then tried the claymore out and said it was good. I'll take his word for it until it actually breaks. Besides, in blade to blade combat, I'll use a gun)

Anyone call BS on this?

To elaborate, you can't cut jack shit with 17 watts.

Most Laser MARKING systems are 40-60 watts just to
write LETTERS on metal surfaces.

CUTTING lasers are 220-500~ watts.

No such thing as the Royal Army. There is a large collection of British regiments however, most with royal title.

Of course I do! I just love to nitpick when people get basic facts wrong
