Post your katana

[V]

Anybody collect blades?

If so, do tell. Post a pic if you want.

(I'll post a picture of mine if I can find my camera...)

Doesn't have to be a katana, btw... could be any kind of weapon really. If you want to post your collection. I'm nosy.

 

[Angelo Credo]

I've got...2 Katanas, a set of Sai, a rather large bo-staff, Eskrima sticks, a halberd and some variety of black steel training sword.
If I can find my camera, I'll post pictures. :lol:

I have only one katana to my name, but my friend has claymores, longswords, battle axes... You name it, he's got it. He even has a replica of Captain Morgan's cutlass, and another replica of Rebellion and Red Queen. He's quite the collector.

 

[BlueDevil]

At some point I had planned on getting a replica of Yamato ._.
You guys know what that looks like xD

Like Yamato?

 

[The crazy demon]

I got a replica of Frostmourne.

 

[Vergil'sBitch]

I've got three minature katana's and a set of full size katana's.

 

[Ronan]

I used to have this epic claymore...it had a skull at the base of its hilt with a stainless steel blade, and at the bottom near the guard the blade was serrated...

I also had two sets of swords- a katana, a kodachi, and a shortsword...the difference in the two sets was one had a traditional Japanese hilt and scabbard, and the other's hilt and scabbard were made of jade...

I had to leave them all behind in the move ;_;
I hope my cousin's taking care of them ;_; ;_;

 

[Drakkar]

Just this one :

 

[Meg]

I have a box cutter.:|

 

[Marisa]

I have sword called Genekien I'd post it if I could but i can't

I used to have a lot more swords and daggers, but I gave quite a few of them away when I moved. The only ones I kept were my katana, the Hadhafang, a hunting knife which was a birthday present from an old friend, and a bone knife with a stone blade (because it's so purdy).

Aha, here it is:

It's hard to see in my pic there but the tsuba has a dragon on it, as does the kojiri.

Where the hell do you get these from?
I don't think you can just buy swords in the nearest grocery store.

The only thing I've got close to such weaponry is a kitchen life.

 

[DreadnoughtDT]

You can buy them from custom crafters, or get them factory made.

Mine is a mass-produced factory made model, made of stainless steel. Lightweight, easy to wield and swing, and sharper than a reaper's wit.

So... What do you use them for? Cutting bread?

I think they're more like owning a 'work of art' than a utensil, aka. Although they do chop vegetables quite competently.

You can't buy these so easily in the UK any more. Labour brought in a law a couple of years back banning the sale and import of factory made katanas.

You can also get them from the Royal Mint, or from swordmaking artisans.

Doesn't sound cheap though. Spending four months salary on a sword when you could've upgraded your computer... Nah, if I would get the chance, I would probably buy one myself.

 

[DreadnoughtDT]

They aren't cheap, no. Mine was about 500 USD. And that was a supposed "cheap blade". @_@
