I have a completely fake-ass show dagger (lol), a craptastic throwing knife, a non-functional falchion (made in Pakistan, whoohoo!), and one very good functional blade: a bastard sword/early claymore made in Toledo, Spain and modeled off the the one from Braveheart.
EDIT: The bastard sword isn't sharpened. |

My brother just showed off his Indiana Jones whip. Thinking about that and a flail, I'd love to have a Flail of Ages from BG CRPG (the one with multiple flails for multiple elements)...I would never want to see a Cleric of Lolth's flail....I hate serpents  |

A while ago a bought a display Renaissance Toledo sword from Medieval Times. Its pretty unwieldly, just for show. Much later I bought a Japanese Wakizashi from an antique store. (which broke and was incredibly old and rusted with age, yet it retained its edge and I used it to swipe oranges off trees :D)
My fav. weapon would have to be a saber or elven-made blade. Light, it could cut the opponent before he can strike with a lumbering weapon. |

I was over in Istanbul, Turkey a few weeks ago and fell in love with several 100+ year old swords in the enormous markets that they have there.
I have promised myself that if the business deal I am working on works out then I will use part of my share of the profits to acquire one or two of them. Basically they are sabres, I think, both naval officer and cavalry types (I could be wrong as I don't know much about swords). |

| Let's see, I've got a greatsword, a longsword, a greataxe, a battleaxe, a flail, a kukri, a club, a crossbow, and a dagger. I've got many more weapons, but those are the ones from the PHB. One of the guys in my group is a welder and he's been making some really cool maces, I'm trying to get him to make one for me. |

Ok this is kinda off topic but for those of us that like Final Fantasy VII I found Clouds sword and a bunch of other Final Fantasy charcters swords
Hey I need some help getting my forum started up so if I could get some help with it that would be awesome. To get to the forum you have to go through my website the 1st time it's just easier click the link thing above this post when you get to the web site look around if you want or just click on the forum link. The forums called Legends Guild. Thanks for the help guys and girls |

| In Lord of the Rings, the elven warriors had swords where the hilts were as long as the blades. Is there a D&D equilavent? That blade had a cool look to it. |
When hinges creak in doorless chambers and strange and frightening sounds echo through the halls, whenever candlelights flicker where the air is deathly still, that is the time when ghosts are present, practicing their terror with ghoulish delight. |

Hello,
If I may be allowed to weigh in: First let me say that the swords and medieval weapons offered by Museum Replicas used to be great weapons for the money, their quality has slipped a little here recently. Almost all of my swords come from them. I have been collecting for fifteen years now, whenever I could scrape together enough money to buy one. So far I have a medieval short sword (my best sword)a grosse messer, (think two-handed falchion) a falchion, a flanged mace, an anelace (which is really disappointing)a german bastard sword, a sword-hilted dagger, a 1917 cutlass from Cold Steel, (excellent, but their prices have gone through the roof)a Cold Steel assegai spear, riflemans hawk (tomahawk) and a warhammer that Cold Steel makes that is awesome, and very affordable! I also have a Kite Shield that my father and I made many moons ago, very nice really, for a do-it-yourself project. Finally, my latest acquisition is another Museum Replicas piece that has almost restored their reputation in my eyes; a pole axe that they started offering about a year ago. This piece is great! of course I had to wait six months for the back-order...
Anyway, all of this to say that I love medieval weapons! There is nothing like being able to handle and swing a well-made replica sword... |

| Execellent!!! i am firmilliar with all of those except the anelace?...i have links to many websites that i frequently visit such as cold steel and other such companys....does museum rplicas have a website and would you be kind enough to give me the link? yeah....ive built some wooden shields here and there but i want to find a well made one somewhere....and i agree the quality and authentisity of a lot of the swords you can find is so little....and you cant find anything leather that looks or feels as it should...its all so fake and plasticy...and maybe im picky but a lot of swords dont meet up to my expectation on...quality...they never seem real enough....but one in a while you come by some that are....and im sure you agree when i say battle ready full tang is almost the only way to go |

| I have a sword obsession that runs pretty deep in the family; my mum had a collection that got stolen some time ago. I have swords hanging on my walls as often as I can, though. Cheap swords, yes, but they're right up there with trashed books with ruined covers and ripped pages, which I'll take a steady died of(obviously, my job doesn't pay much; I get the smallest share of the loot. *sighs melodramatically* Alas, I make up for it by not attempting to mantain my sanity.) Right now I have a miniature saber, which I named Lion's Gem(yes, I NAME my swords, and they ALL have magical enchantments! Lion's Gem is a pretty sucky weopon, though; it's not even +1...), a 19th century European rapier called Silverthorn(+4), a cutlass named Sparrow(+2), and a dagger that has no purpose whatsoever, it's just pretty. I named it "Dagger With No Name". It has personal relations with the Man With No Name, you see, although I'm not sure the time eras are appropriate... |
"You can choose a ready guide
In some celestial voice
If you choose not to decide
You still have made a choice
You can choose from phantom fears
And kindness that can kill
I will choose the path that's clear
I will choose freewill." -'Freewill' by Rush |

Genis,
Yes, Museum Replicas has a website. It is www.museumreplicas.com they are a division of Atlanta Cutlery. Fifteen years ago their weapons were top quality and authentic. The prices were not horrible either. Now, I feel that the quality of some of their pieces has slid downhill. Although the pole-axe I just received from them is impeccable. Check them out. An anelace is a sword that length-wise is in between a long dagger and a short sword. It is similar to-and may be a fore-runner of the italian Cinquedea, or "five-finger blade". For fun, you can also check out a company called Del Tin from Italy. Nice stuff, very expensive... |
