"New Orleans airport machete suspect is dead"

"White was shot three times at the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport during his horrific attack and was pronounced dead at 5:02 pm Saturday."
Authorities say the suspect in the brazen machete attack may have been planning to bomb the site as well.

Bystanders caught in the chaos said police quickly fired shots to subdue the alleged attacker, sending passengers fleeing and ducking for cover.

"Mostly everybody was getting down to the ground and trying to hide under chairs," Nicole Danjean told The Times-Picayune. Danjean, who had been traveling from New Orleans to Washington, D.C., said she was at her gate when she heard three or four gunshots, then heard someone yell, "Everybody get down!"

Eric...machetes are cheap, genuine Samurai swords are not :-) The tempering of the edge is an art form, when leaving the back of the back blade less brittle for over all strength. It can be done, with not quite the same results, with ordinary steel or stainless, but you'll need both a forge, and good hammer, a good fume mask, and some Cyanide powder for edge hardening. Nice blue glasses help with detecting the right color of the steel edge as well. Good luck :-)
