Well, buddy, I like a katana (Japanese "samurai" sword). However, I have found that I can only use it well with both hands, so if I am doing something where I want a weapon in each hand, I will drop down to a smaller sized sword- like a Wakizashi (which is the smaller version of the katana).

For some reason, I have never liked the "feel" of a straight bladed sword like a Ninja-To, most Chinese swords, and most European swords. And, since I am fairly small, I do not like the feel of the heavy "barbarian" style sword you might see in magazines. I just could never use one properly with my size and strength.

It kinda depends on my mood. I really enjoy the quick movements of the gim, I like using the katana when fighting two handed, and the dao when fighting two weapon style.

How expensive do those run Bushido? I'm looking for a new katana, which is my preferred bladed weapon, but butterfly knives, wakizashi, and even ginsu knives are great too. Broad swords I'm not a fan of, but double edged daggers I have no problem with. Nothing longer than six inches for me if it has two edges.

they run anywhere from $600 to $1500

i paid $795 for my thaitsuki katana and its razor sharp, super strong and flexible high carbon steel, and the fittings are 94% silver. ive cut a lot of bamboo with it since ive gotten it and there arent even any scratches on the blade, its a really awesome sword and well worth the money

here is a pretty good sword dealer site
