Maybe everyone will join in and discuss what 'they would do' and all the hubris and bravado to go with it.
Now what I want to know is, how do we know it was a 'Samurai' sword....what if it was simply a Showa era military sword that was industrially produced? Would a true collector of early Samurai swords and blades grab a tens of thousands of dollar valued katana to hack away at a burgler with ?

It could have been a dha the police would have no clue and call it a samurai sword anyway

Officer I was just oiling my 19th century wootz tulwar when I heard a strange noise coming from the garage.

The buglar jump high into the air and when he came down on the blade it just sliced him in two just like those silk scarfs
