Hello fellow blade aficionados, my name is Erin but you may call me what you what you wish. This is my first time posting but not my first time to the site. By the way I really like the design, the color and attitude of this place it's just so bright and welcoming. And the navigation is great never got lost of had trouble finding anything. But thats not the only reason I'm posting. I have a question regarding swords. Now you may have already been asked this question before but I couldn't find any info on the subject so I must ask.
But first some backgroung on my current predicament. As you know if you've read my profile I hail from the imprisoned state of California. Here it is almost illegal to walk outside now. I wish to be able to defend my self and those around me, Ifthe need should present itself. However since our government will not agknowledge the existence of the Constitution or The Second Ammendment, I being only sixteen years of age cannot carry a firearm in California. So I thought of carrying a sword. It would be carried openly so as not to break any consealed weapons laws but I can't decide what I want to use.
In Wesley Snipes movie BLADE he used a sword that looked to be perfect for my needs. The blade wasn't to long so that it would be cubbersum but still long enough to reach all vital organs and vessels of even a large human body. At a not so recent firearms exibition I was able to hold a replica of the movie sword at a knife vendors both. the handal was to round and slippery to be useful but thats easy to fix. My question is about blade materials. In the movie Steven Dorff in describing BLADEs' sword said it was made of titanium. Is it possible to make a combat capable sword out of or using titanium. The reason I ask is that I need a sword that is very strong but light weight so as to give my power and speed.
If any of you could help me I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you so much for your time and consideration.
