Aside from anime and samurai flicks, I think a lot of the myths surrounding katanas come from apocryphal WWII stories. "My friends grandpa was at Iwo Jima and he saw a Jap officer cut the barrel off of a machine gun with his sword" or something like that. Which is of course bullshit. Not is that pretty much impossible, but who the hell would try and cut the barrel off of a gun instead of trying to cut the man wielding it.

I also wonder, where are all the sabre and composite bow fanboys? As a huge steppeaboo myself, I think it bears mentioning that no one ever stomped their way through much of the Eurasian landmass with fucking katanas.
 
These weapons are probably made of such cheap materials that they would snap just by hitting anything harder than a tin can with them
Wallhanger swords usually are made of 420 Stainless Steel, which is fine for blades shorter than (say) 20cm, however that stuff is far too brittle/soft for swords or similar weapons. Also, due to the high amount of chrome in the steel, you can't sharpen it and it becomes dull rather fast (even if you manage to get it halfway sharp).

Another point is the way the handle is attached. With cheap swords, it's usually just a so called "rat tail tang" and as you can see, that's flimsy as fuck. The handle is just stuck on the tang and fastened with a nut. Not only can this nut become loose over time, the screw-like attachement on the blade can simply snap off (since it's just a wielded-on piece of shit).
 
Do they even realize that those swords are nothing more than decorative wall hangers?

Sadly, they probably think they are high quality functional blades. Most of these schmucks are either still in school, working McJobs, or dropout stoners sucking the Government Teat. A $50 flea market/county fair special is all they can afford/could convince mommy to spend, and they probably haven't seen anything of higher quality in their lives. Maybe a few of them have a $250 Hanwei practical katana which is a bit nicer, but it isn't a hand forged and "folded glorious Nippon steel blade of honour" like they think, it's a mass produced, stamped out blade of 1060 carbon. Which isn't bad, at least it IS functional, but still low end.
 
I hope you're aware you're now legally bound to provide a photo of yourself, holding your swords in an awkward pose. Fedora optional but highly recommended.

Like I'm gonna give you meanieheads more ammunition against me! Besides, I don't own a fedora...

The trenchcoat, however, is mandatory.

Nor do I own a trenchcoat.
 
I'm not sure what's more cringey besides that katana or that haircut.
"Nerdiest thing I've ever done."

Highly doubt that, Champ...



Wow, is this cat full of himself, or what? Get a load of that guy.
The funniest part is, the haircut isn't even that bad, it's just the fact that he saw the haircut in a video game and thought "Wow, I would look great like that!". It just goes to show that these types get their idea of what's cool/fashionable/badass from their Anime/Video Games/Movies.
