Dang Johnny you got some sho enough whoomp em sticks!
I know what I'll be looking for at the Blade show... That is pretty Bad Ass... Cold Steel, Bad Ass... And for me that says alot...
The spear is arguably more utilitarian, so for "quietly hunting prey" maybe... First, define your need then decide a on a list of "tools for the job". I clearly love swords and I am trained in sword/axe&shield. But a sword won't kill something 10' away, a sword isn't intended to cut down a tree or smash thru a brick wall

Thank you, guys! It looks like the show may be a good starting point. After all this, it looks like I will have a lot of work to do.
To answer the question "need", no, want YES. I am starting in the Martial Arts and looking for a multiple purpose blade, practice, cutting, kata etc. On a lighter note, with the cost of ammo these days, I forsee a future when we may need to revert back to medieval tactics for protection.LOL... If you ask me I rather take a bullet over blade, or neither.
I kind of always felt like this since I was a kid. A strange atraction to blades and blunt instruments. Kind of like a reincarnation of some sort, if you know what I mean... by that, I mean not something homicidal or anything, just being a whole and a natural at it, even before I started formal training.

Ronin Dojo series, perfect for the bodged cuts of a beginner, cheap and durable.
Studied battojutsu for years now and I find its a good choice for cutting.
Sword buyers guide has all the info, go have a read and then pick one you like the look of

The ratswords video impressed me. They start at around $300. My cane knife will take those trees down about as quick for $15. That is not to say I don't want a ratsword, its just not my first choice for a survival "knife".
p.s. I would never do that with my katana as every job has a proper tool.

Where do you go about learning axe and shield fighting around here? Sounds kind of interesting.
