Martin,

I've never seen a real dai-katana, but I had a few special books on katana's when I did a bit of aki-jitsu in a subfield of aikido. Incredibly beautiful swords that live up to the legends you sometimes see on tv. Ever see the video of a katana splitting high powered 50 cal rifle bullets? Shame to do that to a sword - but it split 9 bullets - that had the power to explode a body (gross what a Macmillian can do to a flesh target) - before it split.
