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]

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.

Any pictures? I like heavy blades myself.

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