A good sword for home defense? (viewer question)

One of the most frequent questions that people have asked me. If you had to defend yourself with a sword against an intruder, what would you pick?

This is merely for entertainment purposes. It’s your responsibility to check your local laws to see what is considered legally justifiable, and I’m not advising anyone to attack a burglar with a weapon.

But I’m also not saying that a sword wouldn’t work well in such a situation. It certainly would.

The first one I’m showing is an old gladius by Raven Armoury, made in the mid-90s. The second one is a Cobra Steel kindjal.
