Yes, I know this doesn't really have much to do with video games, but for fun, I decided to put up some pics of my sword collection. Two are cosplay swords, and the other two are real. Though one is basically useless and my baby, my short katana, has seen its share of...combat back in my contract days.

Here's the real sword. Bad pic, but its hard for my camera to get the thing in view without being too far away. Its got a few chips along the blade from when it hit things, and I do all I can to keep it in good shape. Though I can say this, a sword can be much more effective then a knife. Though as the age old saying goes. Don't bring a knife to a gun fight...unless your in really tight corridors.:P

And here are the other swords, along with the real one on the very bottom. The top sword is from an anime called Bleach and I picked it up because of its outrageous length. The second from the top is a hand/arm sword hybrid. It attaches to your arm, you hold the handle and stab. Its rather sharp, but easy to get away from in combat. The third from the top is a reverse blade sword. And once again, the real one on the bottom.
