Poll: Do you own a sword?

[cheese_wizington]

No.

I do own a big fucking knife and a smaller one.

And being the nerd I am, I'm going to get a crossbow as well.

May I ask what your avatar is from?

OT: No, why the fuck would I have a sword in my house?

 

[Z of the Na'vi]

Yes, I own a TP Master Sword; came in the mail last week. And--sorry to burst your bubble--but it will never be used. Not even on zombies.

Just curious, is it a sharpened one that you really hurt somebody or a prop?

 

[userwhoquitthesite]

five swords in good condition, several others disassembled for construction use.
Don't know the exact number of knives I own, but more than twenty

Well, it's a replica. It has a dull edge, so it's not useful for fighting. It's also (most likely) half-hilted, so the blade would snap off if I tried to slice someone/something. It does have a very sharp tip, though.

i picked up a beautiful bohei (spelling?) blade katana last august. nice and sharpened and i know i am quick enough to block a broadsword with it.

i've been sparring with my buddy for awhile and he nonstop practices with any sword he can gethis hands on

 

[TehCookie]

I have two katanas, a rapier, and a broadsword. My katanas are my favorite.

 

[sms_117b]

I own a Chinese Saber, it's pretty cool, but, it's very much a ornament.

 

[zenoaugustus]

We used to have a family sword, but I believe my father sold it. I was disappointed to say the least. So no, not any longer.

 

[Lexodus]

Yes, many. Also, on the topic of zombies, why does everyone try and go for the headshot? Take out the fucking legs! It's not about pain or glory, if you destroy the legs, guess what? They can't fucking walk!



OT: The last sword I picked up was a Persian sabre. A hell of a time getting that through customs, I tell ya...

 

[Ocelot GT]

Actually yes. We do have a series of Japanese katanas on display in the living room and a replica fantasy medieval sword in the den

 

[NoNameMcgee]

No I do not own a sword.

I knew a guy in school obsessed with swords and was always going on about wanting to be a samurai or ninja assassin and how the thought of killing people didn't phase him except if it was his family or girlfriend. He said it would be fun.

Yeaah I don't see him no more. o_o

He was also a tiny scrawny blond guy which gave it a funny factor.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

I have a couple replica swords, if that counts. Once of the TP Master Sword and one of Trunk's sword from DBZ.

 

[thewerebuffalo]

Rather than "fight", I prefer the term "Fence"

 

[Jedoro]

I do not, but I assure you that I'd like to purchase a good one.

EDIT: Damn, forgot about my replica katana before I voted. So yes, I do have one. It's just not good for much.

 

[SageRuffin]

I have a plastic sword that I use to practice Iai, a rokushubo (read: six-foot staff), a piar of wooden tonfas, and a pair of foam nunchaku. All I need is a three-section staff and my collection will be complete.

 

[EMFCRACKSHOT]

No.

I do own a big fucking knife and a smaller one.

And being the nerd I am, I'm going to get a crossbow as well.

I am on the verge of ordering one. A very nice hunting crossbow. complements my air rifle perfectly. costs a bomb though. If it weren't for escapism UK and needing to save for that i would go and buy it now.
And plans for a sword are in motion. As well as a chainmail vest

 

[Lord of Maggots]

I own two katana's ive won from Kempo tournaments, and a katana/ wazikashi combo that i got for my birthday years back and i also own a bastard sword.

 

[Bilbo536]

I friggin' wish.

 

[FluffyNeurosis]

They are perpetual reminders that I Was a retarded teenager.

^ this. I have guns now. In addition to the one functional and 4 or so non functional swords.

 

[Julianking93]

Yes.

Its a katana that is actually really sharp.

Cut through a fresh pumpkin once

Though I like my knife better.
