Folded Damascus

Which one should I get?

(Yes, I know this is not the right category, but i didn’t know what to put )
Okay, so it’s my birthday on the 10th. I collect knifes, and swords and stuff. I don’t really see anything else, I have just about everything I need. A computer, TV, and an ipod. Now that that’s out of the way, my dad said he would get me one sword. I was really hoping for a
Katana – http://budk.com/Swords/Shinwa-Black-Knight-Black-Cord-Katana-Sword-Damascus?
It’s folded, A-lot of reviews have called it amazing,
but then I saw this sword – http://budk.com/Swords/Kit-Raes-Exotath-Sword
The Kit-Rae exotath. People have called it very good quality, and sturdy.
So, I really don’t know what I want, so I would just your honest opinion, what you think.
I don’t know if I want to use my katana to cut stuff more, or just have the fantasy for looks.
Thanks for reading

It really depends on what you want to do with these. Are they to be part of a costume – cosplay? Simply for display? Do you just like owning them? Are you studying something that either of these is a part of the history / repertoire of the persona?

I love the fantasy — but don’t see it as being anything other than something to enjoy – never any kind of practicality. The other — you may learn how to handle correctly with classes – of course you would practice with a dummy version.

I think that your father is wonderful to indulge this hobby for you and that you need to seriously consider which will give you more pleasure in the long run.
