I can't recommend any particular book, but I'm sure any good one would advise you to use a blade much shorter than 5'.
Why? If I KNEW I was going to have to "fight with a knife", I'd want the longest blade I have available to me, in-order to keep as much "distance" as I could, which would mean my Cold Steel Vaquero Grande (6 inch blade), my Ontario/Bagwell Hell's Belle (11 inch blade), or my chainsaw (26 inch bar).Originally posted by TorzJohnson

My bad...It looks like I need to learn to READ alittle bit better myself! HOWEVER, SIFU1A's idea of a 5 ft Claymore isn't such a BAD weapon to have in a fight...IF you are strong-enough to be able to swing that monster without spinning-around in circles due to its' momentum.Originally posted by Medic1210
It was meant to be a joke about the typo. 5' means 5 foot blade, whereas 5" is 5 inch. The original question mentioned a 5' blade, not a 5" blade. That's all.
