mods this may or may not be the right place for this.if not please do your thing.is there any interest in swords on this forum,have a friend who might part with some.not selling or trade at this time just feeling thing out

paddling_man · 07-03-2009

Short answer is "yes."

I've seen folks on this subforum run the gamut from multi-thousand dollar antique katanas to cheap, wall hangers which are deadly - TO THE USER. (United Cutlery.) Interest has been shown in mat cutting practical blades (Chen) to hard use short sword for the zombies (Busse/Swamp Rat.)

Yes. There is probably a market here from antique to crap, traditional to "tactical."

I am. I own a small accumulation of high quality repros from several historical periods. They range from an ancient Celtic 'leaf blade" short sword and Falcata, a Viking broadsword, two styles of scimitar (Persian and Turkish) and an English weapon from the "War of the Roses" period.

All are fully functional weapons, not "wall hanger" Fantasy/decor pieces. Most are of Italian manufacture ( Armi Antiche Del Tin) and a couple from Windlass Steelcrafts. Next on the agenda is a high quality reproduction daisho. I figure to have to spend circa $1700 for a truly well-made pair.

Also looking for a high quality replica Schiavona. If your friend has such an item, PM me.

these things he has are just some replicas or remakes of samuris and maybe something like battle swords.
