I just got a pair of Katanas - on the heel is a symbol that looks a little like the Pi sign - but I don't know why that might be - I figure it might be something in Chinese or whatever? Does anyone know what it stands for?

Let me guess, you're considering it as a tattoo?

Just wondering if it means something like "follow me" - "up" or maybe "heel goes here" or something else profound somehow? If no one actually knows we can make up our own meaning here on the forum - that ought to give us a laugh if nothing else :)

I know what it means, but let's see what you can come up with.

Pretty much - so the obvious answer is Katana or sword. On my feet probably gonna need sharpening hehe.

刀 means "katana" (sword).

Climbed in them for the first time at the climbing wall last night. Climbed real nice - edged super. They fit pretty tight - hope they stretch just a little - a half size would make them just right.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
