No, no, what I meant with is that every time I've gone to the flea market, EVERY made-in-Pakistan katana is "at least 600 years old"...and people who are also buying throwing stars do buy them, awed.
The term "supposedly" is what rings the alarm bell. Every sword collector I know of with a real one has gone and gotten provenance on it, and keeps it securely.
And there is, shall we say, a certain demographic that has WASRs, flea market katanas, throwing stars and the like and does not secure any of them. The Cheaper than Dirt catalog seems to have evolved to solely suit that demographic, if you've looked at it lately.
As for the "AK-47", that's just the typical atrocious reporting that the nooz does over and over and over and over and over... That's the bit that annoyed me.
