Hence the reason swords have sorta died out, save for novelty.

Interesting note though, 1 of the malls in the city I live in has had a Knife Kiosk in it for years and sold copies of various famous swords that it kept on display behind a glass case...til very recently.  Seems 1 nutcase finally took it upon himself to smash the case and grab 1 of the swords, using it to threaten quite a few shoppers in the mall before security got him under control.  :

hmm I always thought that would be fun to do... The only difference is, I have a little training, so I don't think I'd be so stupid... (Well, I can't say I haven't thought about it, because I already admitted that I've always thought it would be fun....) >
