Sword
Sword
Just realized Valiant does Axes and Flails too, but all out of stock.
He's straight gangsta too, always having to pick his pants up and put his shirt down. Plus his hair is wavier than the girls. You know he's having to fight them off with those swords.
Before blowing the money on expensive replicas or practical models for actual sparring, I'd take some lessons in Kendo and/or Fencing to get a general feel for actual swordsmanship if you're serious about this.
Of course there is no shame in a flashy replica to grace your mantle.

Ugh I could look at weapons pics for hours, I have to resist!
There's also schools of medieval fighting!

EDIT: It's either blow it on this, or dump it into the next instalment of my stereo. Speakers alone on the next step are going to be 4,000; so this is a cheap rabbit trail.

I have a feeling, those schools are far, far away from here.
This is what I imagine Daemun doing lol
On topic: I like this one
but I've always preferred longer handles (if the blade is decently long) or short swords if the handle isn't.

Just put a bomb in your chest, and if your heart ever stops, you explode. If someone murders you, they get what's coming; if you accidentally die, you give everyone a nice little surprise; and if you die of old-age, you'll go to heaven with everyone that loves you.

I like that one too, aside from no guard.

thats copyright infringement. Lukas the Trickster of the spacewolves has a stasis bomb attached to his last remaining heart. If he ever dies in combat, the bomb will explode locking his subduer in an eternal statue allowing lukas to have the last laugh for the rest of time.

Obviously when then they run their events they don't use real weapons, but the battles are pretty epic nonetheless xD
I don't know who that is, but I'd shake his hand if I ever met him.

I'm getting seriously distracted with my own responses in my own thread. Apparently I really do have ADD.
Any ways, if anyone has practical sword suggestions or other related hobby suggestions for that matter; do tell. I'm open for opinion, criticism, discussion, w/e. I don't mind the topic wandering either, I am just irritated with myself that I was hell bent on buying a sword this morning and it was the only thing on my mind, and now I'm thinking about how to make pacemakers explode using a microwave.
Re-enactment groups, btw.
Well obviously you wouldn't want a real blade that cuts when you seek to gain practice sparring. So i'd start with the practice ones that aren't bladed at all. Once you get your experience to a level you are comfortable and confident with, then it'd make more sense to go for the real deal. Just my opinion though.

Thought it was LARPing. I have a friend that does that and they use these stupid foam weapons lol

This. There isn't a community here to be able to role play. We (well I) am too old to just gather a bunch of non-lethal weapons and people and commence beating the crap out of one another. Essentially, I need formal and self training in bladed arts, then I want to collect dated weapons that have no practical use in today's society as a hobby. Men love hobbies. I'm down to 3, time for another.

No shame in getting one of these for dicking around and practicing technique. They're pretty fun too, but obviously unrealistic in both weight and scale of actual weapons. Glad I have a little brother to justify purchasing one of these silly things.

My wife threw them away because the "children" couldn't be trusted with them. For a piece of pvc wrapped in foam, they are freaking fun.
