"BatLeth" meant nothing to me, and it's not clear
the thing is a very useful weapon.
But the part I'm amazed at, is that swords/knives
are outlawed? Can someone clarify this for me,
I mean you have to be able to have kitchen knives,
and maybe a machete for the "garden"?

As someone on another list pointed out, most of the knifings in the
UK involve kitchen knives, so your point is a good one. (I don't
know what you grow in your garden: I use my machete when the bushes
at the far end of the yard get out of control. Though more often I
use pruning shears except for the big limbs, which is when I get out
the power saw . . . )
We live in New York state, and have a couple
katanas. (Why? Ask my son...)
Sounds like you're okay* unless you decide to move to old York.
