Poll: Do you own a sword?

[Jedoro]

I do not, but I assure you that I'd like to purchase a good one.

EDIT: Damn, forgot about my replica katana before I voted. So yes, I do have one. It's just not good for much.

 

[SageRuffin]

I have a plastic sword that I use to practice Iai, a rokushubo (read: six-foot staff), a piar of wooden tonfas, and a pair of foam nunchaku. All I need is a three-section staff and my collection will be complete.

 

[EMFCRACKSHOT]

No.

I do own a big fucking knife and a smaller one.

And being the nerd I am, I'm going to get a crossbow as well.

I am on the verge of ordering one. A very nice hunting crossbow. complements my air rifle perfectly. costs a bomb though. If it weren't for escapism UK and needing to save for that i would go and buy it now.
And plans for a sword are in motion. As well as a chainmail vest

 

[Lord of Maggots]

I own two katana's ive won from Kempo tournaments, and a katana/ wazikashi combo that i got for my birthday years back and i also own a bastard sword.

 

[Bilbo536]

I friggin' wish.

 

[FluffyNeurosis]

They are perpetual reminders that I Was a retarded teenager.

^ this. I have guns now. In addition to the one functional and 4 or so non functional swords.

 

[Julianking93]

Yes.

Its a katana that is actually really sharp.

Cut through a fresh pumpkin once

Though I like my knife better.

 

[Souplex]

Dude, zombies aren't much of a threat (It will be like Dead rising) Killbots are the real threat, and a sword won't do much against them. Besides, you want a bludgeoning weapon when fighting zombies as an edged weapon will probably get stuck in one when you are mobbed and then you are screwed.

 

[CNKFan]

I have a machete that is a mans knife.

 

[dkyros]

I went through a phase in which i would list reassons to my family why i needed a sword, the top being that ninjas could attack at any moment and the fact that we do not see them makes them especially dangerous. Then i did say that it would be useful during a break in but i would need a wakisashi because of the small hallways. However, after hours of pleading, i never go one. Now, well insufficient funds would be the main reason for no sword but some day...

 

[the1ultimate]

Well, I do but I think I'd rather use my rubber-ended stick. At least if I drop that I don't get cut.

It works well discouraging people, but probably doesn't do more than +1 damage.

I guess I should upgrade to crowbar...

 

[The Heik]

If not, why? Zombie's a comin one day, and the chainsaws all the way out in the tool shed. I guess you could use a gun, but wheres the fun in that?

There's nothing better than the good old machete for killing zombies. One swing can cleave through bone and it's short enough so that you can stab a grapplin' zombie through the skull

But for pure beauty in motion you gotta have the katana. That thing can cut it's way through three guys in less than a tenth of a second. A swordgasm If I've ever known one.

 

[Sacman]

I own 2 Katana, an Irish Claymore, an golden laced Indian Scimitar, and a scythe... oh and a crap load of knives and daggers if those count...

 

[fer1wi]

I own a katana, a rapier, and a hand and a half bastard sword. All are combat ready, not showroom replicas.

I would never ever rely on them for protection though...I have guns for that.

Holy crap! There's some diversity!
OT: No, I do not. Wish I did, though, but I'll probably get a machete instead, according to the Zombie Survival Guide.

 

[Swaki]

i own six crowbars, a bat, a whole set of golf clubs, a big ass knife i got from my friend whos a cook, apparently its made especially for ham, but its blade is about 50cm long, i got plenty of pots and pans, i got an dibaridu (on of those australian staffs/maces who can also play "music").

i dont need no sword.

let the zombies come.

 

[ParticleBliss]

I'm saving up the cash to forge my own Gallic sword. Until then, I'll have to do with my replica spatha.
