  BTW, any one tried to sharpen the sword? I think it will be useful then right?

  There is a reason why it's called a CEREMONIAL sword in the first place.

  Wad's the use? The sword in the end can't use!
  
  I really hope they issue out swords that can be used in real warfare instead of just for ceremonial duties only.

  Kind of funny right? Imagine, on top of all your equipment, still must bring out a damn sword...where you gonna put it? inside fieldpack with the hilt sticking out arh? Then if kana capture by enemy how? And what if the enemy got a sense of humour, behead you with your own sword?
