Zatoichi sword...
Bullshit.
It's just another fantasy pulled out of someone's a**.
Sorry to say it like this, but this kind of stuff pisses me off.
Don't be an idiot and walk on the street with your sword.
That's idiotic.
You'll just be another moron looking to see who's got the biggest knife.
These kind of swords may have been useful in the past, now they are just toys for imbeciles who can't bring themselves outside the fantasy world where they are the hero.
Swords are not toys to take on the street with you.
They are killing instruments.
If you cannot bring the respect for such an instrument that comes with the power to wield it, stay clear of it. It will only get you into trouble.
Besides, I do believe cops and the likes are trained to identify sword canes and other concealed weapons.
Wich shouldn't be too hard to do, seeing as how a good sword has an oval grip.
Fancy blades are collector's items. Like G.I.Joe's.
I don't see you playing with your dolls on the street. So keep your sword at home too.
And if you really want some protection, there are much better options.
Such as pepper spray (not just for girls), stun guns, batons or the more lethal .45 magnum and it's kin.
Don't be an idiot and take yourself for the incarnation of Musashi......
Or any other swordwielding celebrity, for that matter.
EDIT:
And Darkling, the authenticity of such a sword is of the highest doubtability.
If of any origin, it would be Chinese, maybe Korean.
Zatoichi being Japanese, I highly doubt it would be authentic.
More importantly, imagine drawing both swords at the same time.
Yes, that would seem near impossible and therefor very unpractical.
Not something any warrior with a sense for his weaponry would carry around.
