Poll: Do you own a sword?

[Shaegor]

Swords are boring... I'm more of an axemurderer.

 

[Doctor What]

I bought a rapier from a Medieval Times I went to. Best souvenir. Ever.

 

[Zildjin81]

Yep, it's a replica of "Glamdring", Gandalf from Lord of The Rings'sword.

 

[Xeros]

I have 2 knives, that are very "nerdly" decorated (one is a dragon, the other is a scorpion). I also have a katana, a wakizashi, a kodachi, and a couple broadswords. Most of em are just for show, especially the knives, but the katana and wakizashi are full-contact use. (And they're sharpened >)

 

[I Stomp on Kittens]

Yeah, it was my grandfathers from WW2.

 

[Raventyr]

I have a scottish made hand-and-a-half (bastard) sword from my 14th century reenactment days, ah good times. Fought many a battle, though they were fake it was good fun. Never forget going up against a unit of guys dressed in full plate at tewkesbury. Our group wore padded cloth armour... Needles to say we got utterly spanked.

 

[mrhappyface]

Yes, the sword i'm holding in my avatar is a WW2 Japanese Office Sword that was used to execute various prisoners in Manchuria.

 

[Loop Stricken]

I own a couple, but they're cheap replica things that are as blunt as fook and won't kill anything if they break off in the first zombie skull.

The two-hander is heavy as fook too.

 

[Spiner909]

I have a wooden training sword...

 

[Fenixius]

Sure, I do! It's a tiny black one that lives on my keychain

 

[Carlan]

I am rather without sword, though I've owned a few knives in my life. I wouldn't mind having one around. Rapiers and other fencing weapons are good for personal defense as they give you substantial control over the amount of damage inflicted, assuming at least some training.

That said, I'd want something with a bit more umph if it came to zombies. A little rapier loses its effectiveness when turned against something bereft of working internal structures and pain receptors.

 

[Berethond]

I do.
Have you seen the "Eyelander" from TF2?
That's what I have.
But with a "Made in Pakistan" stamp on the blade.

 

[Yumi_and_Erea]

I have a WWII Japanese infantry katana.

And it kicks ass!

 

[dasUnbekannte]

I have a little shortsword that's not really functional, but I have a sweet butterfly knife which is all nice and sharp.

 

[Akai Shizuku]

I've got a katana. I love it, it's like the AK-47 of swords.

 

[Slayer_2]

Nah, if I could have a weapon, I'd prefer a good solid firearm. But I (luckily) don't need a weapon.

 

[phoenix352]

wheres the " No , but i want one " option =/

 

[[Gavo]]

I have a cheapass Chinese $10 dollar sword.

Anyways, on to the actually good ones. I have a European sword with a flintlock attached to the blade, a Turkish dagger, and a machete.

 

[Nihilism_Is_Bliss]

hehe i own an anime replica sword from bleach.
i plan to get sephiroth's masamune next!

 

[SnickeringHermit]

I've got 2 katana's , 2 short swords, various knives, and additionally, a metal shield and helmet. ...suit of armor, one day.
