sorry to hear that they broke your glass.. but glad that no one got in and you didn't have to put that blade to use..

swords are great for home defense... my wife insists on keeping a few around the house for just that purpose.. the last place we lived wasn't a great area and crime was on the rise.. now though, I feel that they'll be sitting around more for looks.. my neighbors already stay out of my yard.. think it might be the sight of me cutting grass kilted?? or maybe me sitting on my front porch cleaning my shotgun
