Hello I posted this on the HI forum and wanted your input also.

Working Sword?

The reason I ask. I was telling my best freind about the kukri I will purchase next month (thats when my wife will let me) and I will also now get him one as a present. Since it's his birthday I want to get him a good starter katana or wakizashi that he can really cut loose with also. He always eye my katana that I got as a wedding present from my wifes family from the 1800s. I know anything I give him he will take it out back and start to hack away so I wanted something that can withstand an unskilled persons abuse and in his mind can be called a real weapon. So beside the kukri which seems indestructible I need a cheap sword also for him.

Paul Chen Practical Katana
Kris Cutlery Ninjato

Thanks All

Weapon X
 
If ya need a beater that can stand up to abuse, Try:
Kris Cutlery ninjato or Wakizashi (I like the wak's convex grind)
Himalayan Imports Tarwar short sword or Tibetan sword.
