Actually I want both, so that when an intruder such as a rabid grizzly enters my sacred domicile and I look around for something with which to send it speedily on to the great bear den in the sky, my eye will alight upon the glint of steel hanging on the wall and I'll know, "oh yes, this will do."
Neighbors looking on from afar will report their certainty of my imminent doom until they saw me grab something shiny off my wall, yell, "By the Power of Greyskull," and go to swingin'.
So wall hanger 99% of the time, but something I can still defend the family with in that 1% situation.
But that's just me...:unsure
Yes,..I'm sure you would fight bravely and die,...very slowly and painfully. :lol opcorn :lol
