Been buying a lot of blades since the panic buying of guns, and still looking for more. So I'm thinking of a short sword now, for no other reason than its cool and, well, zombies. Something that would not get used a lot, I have a Junglas and that is my big, practical blade.
So I've found the Swamp Rat Rodent Rucki for around $300, and the Busse ones are much higher in cost and are out of my range. Don't want a Japanese style Samurai short sword. Love the aesthetics of the Rodent Rucki (blade width, straight blade, coated metal, handle) Are there other manufacturers out there that make a quality style that is comparable? And dare I ask, cheaper? |

I am somewhat a student of the Blade.
IMHO there is not a better Long Blade than a "Samari" sword, ie. a Katana. Its main advantage, besides its very good blade shape, is the fact that it can be weilded with two hands. It takes a LOT of training to be able to fight with a long blade with one hand. It is much quicker to be trained with basic long blade skills if you can use two hands. Remember I said BASIC long blade skills. |

I have a John Gage Gladius and I have only good things to say about it. |
