A light sabre vs the Katana/Wakisashi combo

1. How is a Katana blade going to block a strike from a

light sabre ?

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

3. If your skills are great enough, shouldn't you never need to block?

[Huckebein the Raven]

7. I'll concede to you on that point

but when not against a master swordsman I stand by my original statement

[derby378]

2. If a lightsabre gives you reasonable protection from a blaster...

...how are two pretty steel blades gonna stand a chance?

5. Hey - I don't have the answwers - I only ask the questions

4. I have wielded a 16th Century Edo Blade...

Albeit not to cut a human(thank you jeebus!). No way in hell would I want to face such a thing. Horrifyingly efficient, amazingly sharp. In the hands of a half-assed master, you would not have a prayer.

6. Light sabres are bad ass BUT

Kenshin "Hitokiri Battousai" Himura with a katana/wakizashi? When he's go the Battousai crazy eyes? :crazy:

You are so toast, dude.

8. I'm a Saito fan myself

but respect the Battousai.

9. Man I love that show

But then I guess you can tell from the Chibi Kenshin slicing his way through my sig, LOL.

10. where did you get that ?

it's cool

11. *this* budoka

voted for cold steel & determination, but shdnt we have the option of the red oak bokken to commemorate the true master?

12. I'll take the daisho, thank you very much

while you basement dwelling SW fans are waiting for your light sabre blade to erect itself over washed out pics of Carrie Fisher from a 1978 Starlog profile, I'll draw, step, and cut you in half.

Won't even need the wakizashi.

13. If Mifune

is the man with the blade, I pick that one every time.

14. It all depends on what we're trying to do

If we're trying to fight off Darth Vader, the light saber, definitely. And you can find your keys with it.

But if we're holding a Seppuku ceremony and Bush is the guest of honor, then only the blades will do.

15. lol
