O/T Swords.

[tkav1980]

I dont really like to post Off topic threads but i'm curious if any Pro Muscle members own functional swords. Ive always been facinated with them and recently purchased a low end Katana, heat tempered 1060 carbon steel with a real hammon, from the clay differential heat treatment. Its had no problems slicing clear through 5 inch diameter pine branches without suffering any blade damage. now that i have that one i kind of have the itch to pick up another, maybe a british long sword or spanish sabre. anyone else collect swords?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...

Sorry I have nothing to add about swords...that pic just reminded me of the LARPing video where the guy is throwing paper wads at other guys screaming "lightning bolt! lightning bolt!" over and over again...hahahaha

I have an actual cavalry sword from the civil war. It's in pretty bad condition and has been handed down through family. I have no idea what the story is behind it though.

...there expensive as all hell but the quality is literally un-fucking beatable, literally. My training partner has one of the Bright Knight longswords and Ive literally watched and actually got to use it against a cement block-nothing not even a scratch or mar on the blade. Its incredibly mindblowing

Ive been saving up for about 2 yrs now so I can get a commisioned piece for my pops on one of his birthdays

just be carefull because they start to get addicting as you may already be experiancing lol

yes sir

I have a few functional swords and also trained to use them.
They're fun, period, if you know how to use them...of course 300lb beasts might have a hard time moving enough to use them I'm not that darn big. I have one in the back of my Jeep "just in case" everything else fails.

I like swords. Future purchases will include Civil War Cavalry swords from both north and south (Confederate swords are pricey). And a Katana. I like the old ones, so it's gonna take some cash. So many goodies...so little time..and sword money

 

[tkav1980]

whould you guys who own them recommend saving up for a really nice on or expanding the collection with moderately priced weapons first?

I've looked into several differant styles of swords mostly to see what materials and how they are heat treated because i like to make smaller knives.

Never saw the need for a sword so never took much intrest in them but it is amazing how strong and sharp they were made way back then

I have 4 of the paul chen series katanas....musashi, kami, tiger, and the golden oriole....they are expensive as hell (if you get the elite edition they will run you about $1000) but holy shit are they worth it. I do a lot of competition cutting and they truely stand out. Been doin martial arts for almost 20 yrs, wouldnt set a bro up for failure
