i'm surprised noone has mentioned conan yet... we all just KNOW that dude used to kill like, dozens of ppl with one single blow. AWESOMEEE. damn straight, thats what i call super awesome effectiveness dude. the only handicap is, finding a good conan-ryu dojo is extremely difficult. and since o-sensei schwaertzerznigga is ma governator now, he stopped teaching the arts.... so sad. but its ok. you can always join some good ol' baseball lessons and swing this babe like a bat. awesommmmmeeeeeee. btw, a conan sword replica in toledo should be around 150-200 U.S. dollars. cheaper than a uzi!
