You might have to get a certain license to bear that kind of weapon. It would be like carrying a bazooka out in public.
well, for combat, a shorter katana allows for greater mobility. the only reason it'd be long is for the reach or extra weight, but if you want those just get a Naginata(i personally like these). but as for design, i think it'd have a nice look to it, though make sure to get a full tang katana no matter what as for decorative katana's i found this interesting also, though i think it's just the blade, if i could i would get a diff. sheath, and hand guard
I personally own a 2006 Katana 600 the fastest I could get it to go was about 143.
Samurai have a long laundry list of weapons to choose from. The traditional weapon of samurai would be a katana. A katana is a Japanese sword, kept in a sheath, the way of the sword is kenjitsu, a katana is curved. A nodachi is a extremely large katana that can be over a yard long, Kojiro Sasaki could hold a nodachi with one hand. A yari is a Japanese spear. A naginata is a girl samurai's weapon, it is like spear, except the blade is curved. A yumi is a Japanese bow or a long bow, maybe, sometimes a blade bow. A shuriken is a ninja star, a ninja weapon, it's kinda like a boomerang, but it can have three blades or more. A war fan, a Japanese strategist favorite, does not have a blade, from what I've heard. A tanto, a Japanese dagger, the size of a knife, but extremely sharp, sometimes sharper than a katana or nodachi, it is also kept in a sheath. Wakizashi is a shorter blade than a katana, since samurai also carry a second. A kama is a sickle blade, which is sometimes used on chain. That's all the japanese weapons I've heard of.
The best place to buy a Suzuki Katana motorcycle is from the official Suzuki Katana website. Alternatively these motorcycles can be purchased second hand from online auction sites such as eBay.
"Kaminari katana", or instead of "katana" for blade you could use "ken"
It depends on the skill of the maker and the quality they are making it. The average time for a completely hand made katana is around two weeks if it is of decent quality. But if it was meant to be a truly great katana it could take as long as a month.
There is an entire Budo art dedicated to drawing a sword, cutting, wiping off and returning the blade to the sheath. It's known as Iaido. There is no one way to draw a Katana properly - it depends on the instruction given to the student by the Master teaching Iaido. While you could learn the basic moves from a book or video, it's not the same as actually being taught how to perform the moves and then practicing it until it becomes instinct and fluid movement, and not something that is thought about prior to performing. I've attached a link to the Wiki on Iaido, but if you really want to learn, find a local dojo that teaches it properly and learn there.
"This is thy sheath" could be interpreted as a poetic way of saying "This is your resting place" or "This is where you belong." It may suggest a sense of finality or peace.
Only diamonds can damage other diamonds (or, of course, extremely heavy weights). Possibly if the katana was diamond-studded, or the edges were made of diamonds. I suppose if you could swing it hard enough you could shatter the diamond (like the heavy weight thing above) but you'd have to have superhuman strength.
Great Sword, broadsword, and short sword. Also, a fourth could be a katana.
黒 kuro or 黒い kuroi means "black," and 剣 kenor 刀 katana refer to a sword. 黒い剣 kuroi ken, 黒い刀 kuroi katana, 黒の剣 kuro no ken, 黒の刀 kuro no katana, 黒剣 kuro ken or 黒刀 kuro katana could translate to "black sword."
The katana would make a good display piece, but there is not much else you can use it for, unless you want to become a samurai. On the other hand a shotgun could be used for sporting (clay pigeon, target shooting), hunting or even defensive purposes. If you want a good display piece- Katana. If you want something you can use- shotgun.
