Serious question though where does one actually buy a genuine Nippon Katana? Everywhere I look it's usually stuff made in China, South Korea, and the Philippines. I'd settle for a Korean or Pinoy Katana though if that's all I can get but it would be nice to have a 'real' Katana as a choice too and I'm perfectly fine with spending a lot to ensure I get something I could actually hypothetically use for self defense that isn't a glorified fragile wall decoration.

Samurai where rarely able to deflect bullets and it was a lot more easy to just turn their rifles into very short SBR's once the barrels were hot. At that point with past ballistics being what they where it was damn near impossible to hit the broadside side of a entire ship anchored to port much less a fast moving target assuming their lead could even penetratre their armor.
