I'm partial to the Chinese Straight Sword (jian). Chow Yun Fat Li Mu Bai in CTHD showed the mastery of the sword. Also the classic Wu Tang movies (not Wu Tang Clan!) had great jian sword play. "Last Hurrah For Chivalry" is a classic movie that has the best jian sword play second to CTHD of course.

so many Official threads i just cant take it

I don't like many swords, but I do like nunchucks. I practice with them a lot. I got a sword once but I can't remember what it was called, and I almost killed myself with it. So, I'll just stick with the nunchucks.

I have a small Spanish sword, the blade is about 2 feet long, and the piece separating the blade from the handle is very elegant and ornamental. My sister got it for me when she went on a trip to Spain and France a couple years ago.

I took foil fencing several years back, but I hated it and barely remember anything from it.

My favorite types of swords are probably broadswords, butterfly swords (unless they count as knives), and, if they count as actual "swords," hookswords.

I'm more of a Firearm Man myself.

However I have one or two Razor Sharp Swords.
I have a Samurai Sword with blue lace around the handle and a Straight Sword.

I am partial to a Gladius myself. I have a gladius,2 katana,straight sword,barbarian sword,the F.A.K.K 2 sword,and an ornamental dagger.

Really?



...it's only $5.00 and all your worries will be gone

actually i own three Katanas(spell check) one is very sharp the other two are pretty dual

sword wise I use and own a very sharp Katana and a scimitar(like the one Rock used in Scorpion King only mine isn't black, and there are no animals on it). Aside from swords I have a nice halbred and black sais. I'll be getting a set of chrome nunchucks(I know spelling is very wrong),a nice bo-staff and finally a nice rod(think Huang Gai from the Dynasty Warriors series)

I want to own a Katana - like the one in Bloodsport! But all I own is a Tai Chi sword, it's very dull, but I could probably give someone a good poking with it!

I'm saving up for another saber right now... I hope to get a U.S. Marine one.

If you want one, join the Marines. But they are about $300.00. But really, if you want one join the Marine Corps.

Katana

Do you really get one if you join? Or was that a cruel joke?

No that was telling you if you want one,instead of buying one, earn it.

Love cutlery. I have a 21" dagger for now, and I'm looking towards a battle axe, and making my own custom war hammer.

My favorite sword site: www.ebay.com
Check out BladeTraders or Sword In the Stone EBay stores.
I'm more of a big gunz type of guy... I like the big messy types of cutlery and weaponry, which kind of explains why I am fancying a Barret M99 .50 cal sniper rifle over any blade additions for now.

Another good site for weaponry and accesories is awma.com. good site and good prices.

Ahhhhh! Asian World of Martial Arts. It's always been a cool place to find great stuff. But ask them to send you a friggin catalog, and you'll be waiting for a long time. I'm still waiting for the 5 I requested over the last two years! Bloody sons of bi...! Oh nevermind!

Broomy is my favorite sword of all
