Sukerkin---Actually, I was in my friend's backyard so no one could see me.
matt.m---I actually don't know that much about my sword as it was a special gift from a friend. Wooden handle, shorter blade than most "normal" size katanas (22") to fit "my size", but it's not a wakizashi, and it's definitely sharp. I was just posing for the picture. I wish my friend got the whole sword in the picture.
