Anyone else like em?

All I have is a Katana and a replica of the sword off the movie Blade, with Wesley Snipes. I plan to collect more when I'm older. Maybe go to Cali and buy some there.

You'd like my den, it's a veritabe ******** On the walls I have: 3 broadswords, a great axe, a glaive, 2 rapiers, another polearm (bearded axe head on a 6 foot pole, and a foot long butt spike), my full-tang katana, and a ninjito. I also have a display case full of knives, including a spanish-american war era bayonet. There's also a roman style shield. I need a gladius and a spear to go with it though.

Yes. There is something cool about a sword. Beauty, power, mistique. My favorite currently is my swept hilt rapier. If you are looking for a good european style blade, check out http://www.starfireswords.com/

I never learend to fight katana. I'd like to someday. Do you fence?

I've always been fond of krises or however you spell it; they look really cool. Halberds are cool too.

For the last year or so my dojo has participated in chanbara, which is full contact sword fighting with hard foam and rubber swords. Unlike kendo, all you need is a helmet (as getting hit in the head is a bit overpainful.)

You can fight with short sword, long sword, two swords, bo, yari, naginata, nunchuku, tonfa, jo, escrima...etc...etc.

It is a pretty fantastic workout and alot of fun.

If you really like swords and the medieval scene check out the SCA.

Look for "Heavy Armor Fighting" I think you might like it.

They hold tourneys to crown the "Royalty" and all that jazz, it can get pretty brutal. 15lb wooden swords and men half drunk makes for some interesting viewing.

OOOooo ooO and if you're looking to get into buying swords they have blacksmiths who forge them. ^^ I used to date the wife of the blacksmith that did the "Pirates of the Carribbean" blades. ^^ He's from Seattle and does weaponry for the SCA.

Then there's also the society for creative anachronisms if you fancy strapping on armor and pounding on your friends with rattan swords. They also do fencing, with cool stuff like offhand weapons(or you can use a wee shield or a cloak) and you aren't limited to a runway type deal like most other fencing. There also have good parties after the tournaments. Even if you're not of martial bent, there's lots of other stuff to do if you're interested in the middle ages.

Here's a link to their official site.

Lol, yeah, np, I dated this girl in North Idaho, she broke it off with me, moved to Seattle and hooked up with Mischa (sp). The story of our relationship is kind of boring, *cough* dead fish. But she was really into Wicca, and taught me chain maille. ^^ We dated about 4 months, were broke up about a year, maybe a year and a half, then she went to Seattle and met a Blacksmith from the SCA. I guess the appropriate term is 'Master Blacksmith.' He apprentices people now, I'm not sure if he's the one who forged the swords or was a advisor in the prop department, or if its completely ********* (I found out he did it from her other Ex, my current GFs friend ^^ he still keeps in touch with her, and Mischa as well.)

It's kind of the.....grrr, now I can't remember the name of the idea, when you know some one, who knows some one who knows this guy, who knew Bob Hope, thereby you vicariously know Bob Hope as well. At anyrate ^^ she does **** too ^^ muahahahahahah I knew her BEFORE ****! Ahahahahaha I feel all sorts of special.

Yeah, most of the people I knew left marriage at the house along with their Mundane cloths.

And yes, ****, her entire goal from the time she was 16 was to be a stripper....Kind of amusing she only danced for a year or so before she found out it wasn't like 'ShowGirls'.....Or maybe she found out it was just like that...
