He studied the blade

By Ryoichi - 17/09/2015 11:13 - Germany

Today, it was my dad's retirement. He is traditional Japanese, so I had custom-ordered a samurai sword from a traditional Japanese blacksmith with dad's name engraved on the blade in kanji script. He loved it, right up til my drunk cousin tried to use it to cut down a tree and snapped it in two. FML

Maybe you should swing the cousin at a tree and see if he breaks..? Seriously though, make him repay you, and then some.

sounds like your cousin needs a sword to the face. sorry OP :( at least your dad loved his gift

Your cousin should do the honorable thing and commit seppuku with the broken blade.

I hate to say this, but it's more a FTL. Still, that's an awesome gift to give someone. Maybe make the drunk pay for another one?

You get the "Son of the Year" award. I would *almost* kill someone for a traditional forged sword.

Unfortunately paper beats scissors this time

Maybe his abdomen would be a good place to keep the pieces

Garbage craftsmanship I'd get a refund

Actually most Japanese swords while they slash well, aren't very strong, particularly when used on objects that won't yield...such as a strong tree and often shatter as a result.

He has Dishonored your family....he must atone and commit Seppuku

If it was a katana it shouldn't have broke like that. They are supposed to be very strong and flexible
