Again with the Samurai swords! And in the UK??? I thought they banned them there!
The man, 65, had the sword on display in his living room and tried to scare off the youths in his garden in Barking Road, East Ham.
But it is thought two of them got inside the house and in the confrontation the man was stabbed.
The victim is in a stable condition with multiple stab wounds following the incident at 01:30 BST on Saturday.
don’t use a sword! The Thugs will just take it away from you! Worst part?
Police said the sword has not been found and have appealed for anyone with information to come forward.
It is now a black market Wall-hanger sword! Chances are this blade is a cheap decorative POS, but in a nation that has all but banned guns, that’s all you need! Isn’t gun control grand! At least they have low “Gun Death”!

I didn’t know that Baldr lived in England. I hope he’s ok.
Even a crappy sword will still kill you. The quality of the steel only really matters when the other guy also has a sword, or if you use it often. Heck, people make perfectly servicable machetes out of old car leaf springs!
Knife and sword bans are even more useless than gun bans, because they’re so much simpler to make.
Yep, I got a few cheap wall-hangers that would easily spill a man’s guts if I put a little force behind my swing.
Yeah they might crack bend, or shatter if I parried another blow, and I’m sure the edge won’t hold up to much, nor do they hold a very sharp edge.
But they can be used as weapons just as much as the claw hammer or my pry bar in my toolbox. Doesn’t matter WHAT they were built for.
