Korean style sword

I think this is really cool. Not that I'd own one, but I know there are plenty of people ("garlic eaters," just kidding) who have been desperately waiting for an authentic sword done in the Korean style.

Korean weapons show many similarities with both Chinese and Japanese weapons, much as you'd expect from a country wedged between these two cultural juggernauts. You can see the influences in this sword.

Uhhhh... No, thanks.

I actually have a real (i.e. Feudal Ninja Leader, not QT Sushi Chef/Swordsmith) Hattori Hanzo/Sonny Chiba action figure. I'm sure I reviewed it in a previous post somewhere. Go search for it.
