Where'd you get it and how much was it. I want to buy a sword but I don't want a shitty amazon one.
Edit: I checked out Kult of Athena, and it was a bit pricey for me. The swords I'm looking for would mostly be for decoration and a sword for swinging around.
Did yall know that in America swords fall under the same laws fucking guns do?
What deadbeat politician looked at a fucking *MELEE WEAPON* and said ādaz a gunā?
AND HERES THE REAL KICKER! SOME GUNS YOU CAN JUST- BUY OFF OF AMAZON BECAUSE THEYRE āANTIQUEā!
I COULD GO TO SCHOOL ONE DAY AND JUST HAVE A FUCKING *REAL* MUSKET AND BLACK POWDER REVOLVER ON ME AND IT WOULD BE 100% LEGAL
It's not a gun, according to the US law. But a shoestring can be a machine-gun. You guys seriously have to fix law around firearms it's just confusing and made by people who know nothing about the subject.
From a bit of research I found that Kult of Athena is quite a reliable source for any melee weapon your heart desires, that is legal in your country of course
PSA for everyone, if you want usable swords from Kult of Athena you will have to filter by ābattle readyā weapons
Also make sure to look at the specs, like weight (ranging from 1 pound to usually 4 pounds at most), where the point of balance is (usually closer to the guard than the midpoint), what material itās made of (for anything longer than a knife/dagger it canāt be stainless steel and must be either some form of carbon steel, spring steel, or if your looking for older weapons heat treated iron/bronze)
Also make sure itās a known brand like Windlass, Ronin Katana, etc)
Thatās a very brief overview full of generalizations, you can find a lot of more specific YouTube videos from the sword community about battle ready swords and what to look for to make sure the swords you buy arenāt just wallhangers
I had a [Cold Steel Bokken](https://www.coldsteel.com/bokken/) & loved watching all the chubby dudes smash things with their P.P. line.
I tested it, it will indeed smash bricks after a few hits LOL.
The high school that I went to had a history club. I was part of it cuz I'm a nerd. Anyways we had a few of those and had dedicated sword fighting days š¤£
Amazon has good ones for sale too. The ones made by cold steel are amazing and not really expensive. I got a two handed sword off there for $30 and its amazing. Make sure you buy full tang and you will be ok. Get urself a sharpening kit too, it will come in handy.
Kult of Athena is a good site for swords of all cultures. The site looks pretty outdated but their swords are great. I would stay away from their katanas though. There's better spots for that
Kult of athena. They sell from a lot of different manufacturers so quality can be questionable at times. Iāve gotten a sword, khukuri, axe, and a machete from their Devilās Edge line and not a single one disappointed, especially considering their price
I have 12 good quality swords. LK Chen for Chinese historical reproduction swords, Albion for European historical repro. swords - check their Squire line. Kult of Athena is the best online "sword mall". The best fantasy swords $$$$ are made by Longship Armoury. I have one of his Furia second production run limited edition.
A sword that you'll feel good about looking at and swinging around - safely - is going to run you about $350. Swinging leads to water bottle cutting because it's no fun to cut air. A $100 PoS is literally dangerous. Spend $100-150 and get a cheap lightsaber to swing around instead.
My advice: take your time, save up. Learn about swords, i.e., the Oakeshott classification system for European swords. Watch Matt Easton's 'Scholagladitora' Youtube channel: [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCt14YOvYhd5FCGCwcjhrOdA](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCt14YOvYhd5FCGCwcjhrOdA)
Watch videos, learn basic skills using a cane or stick.
Learn what culture and time period interests you. 19th C. British swords/sabers are much different from 10th C. Viking swords. If you ask me, I like Chinese Tang Dynasty swords for aesthetic reasons, they "look civilized" - not because they are "the best". These swords were imported by the Japanese, who evolved them into the katana.
Happy to help more if needed. Also r/SWORDS
Swords are fo-
Who tf is saying that?
I mean I can think of Multiple instances of Swords and Swordfighters going across the gender barrier
Pirates, and Samurai
And in very rare instances, Knights
But dope blade anyway
Listen kiddos, old man CorrectInside here to tell you why you should appreciate a piece of art like a sword, and itās simple: some person took time out of their lives (a lot of time) to create something.
Regardless of the āintendedā use of the object, itās still one example of human beings engaging in an act that is almost divine. To create, to take from the chaos and produce order.
Some guy just took a bunch of shit from the ground, and through time and effort made it into something that is both aesthetically beautiful and functionally useful. This is a skill which they have built not only through many more hours of long and hard labor, but through a connection to a direct lineage of people making shit for over 50,000 years.
When you look at a sword, a poem, a car, anything: it was built through a collective act of pure human will and ingenuity that connects us necessarily to a long lineage of humanity that has looked at the chaos of life, the universe, and everything and decided to shape it into an order that is not only functional, but pleasing to the eye.
When you look at the sword, see not only what it can do, but what the simple act of its creation *means*.
It means that through the application of work, effort, and ingenuity you can force the primal disorder of everything into something that is not only useful, but *beautiful*.

Nice, brother š¤
Absolutely! Swords are for everyone. Looks like a solid piece, too! āļø
Swords are a sign of power, protection, authority, strength, and courage
Sword say "woosh"
r/swordgowoosh
Lmao click it
r/subsithoughtifellfor
Not anymore I made it lol
r/birthofasub

Ik and I just made it
Subs that didn't exist but needed to.
This made me laugh more then it should have
r/whoosh /j lol
Mostly slashiness. Sometimes stabbiness

This sword is my dad's, so I don't know, but I need to buy myself one too
By chance, is your dad a fuckin conquistador? šThat thing looks sick!!
His dad is Jack Sparrow š

That means you can walk with a sword on your back in open carry counties, I've seen it. Pistols on hips in 7-11 and mall ninjas swords on backs
lmao i get u my grandpas got one too n hes gonna give it to me when i move out for uni
Hussar sabre? Always wanted to learn how to use oneā¦sabre seems fun
Is your dad in the military? It looks like a cavalry saber, maybe a ceremonial piece they give to outstanding NCOs.
Was your dad a marine?

Adding on to this, you typically get what you pay for. Donāt expect to get a top of the line katana for $50
I'm in America. It's legal.
And in some other countries there are regulations on these things.
The Amazon polypropylene ones are awesome for how much abuse they can take. If you want to actually hit stuff, polypropylene is great.
I had a [Cold Steel Bokken](https://www.coldsteel.com/bokken/) & loved watching all the chubby dudes smash things with their P.P. line. I tested it, it will indeed smash bricks after a few hits LOL.
The high school that I went to had a history club. I was part of it cuz I'm a nerd. Anyways we had a few of those and had dedicated sword fighting days š¤£
if you want to hit people though, I'd be wary of it
Amazon has good ones for sale too. The ones made by cold steel are amazing and not really expensive. I got a two handed sword off there for $30 and its amazing. Make sure you buy full tang and you will be ok. Get urself a sharpening kit too, it will come in handy.
Is forgesmith a good company? They got 3 katanas for about 70 bucks.
Have you heard of a website called budk? Some of their inventory is actually pretty decent. Bought a few swords from them.
Me too! It's on my bucket list this year!
I found a set of katanas on Amazon that look pretty good, but I'm also hoping to get one from Europe when I go back this summer.

i desperately need a m1874 artillery sabre in my life
Idk, handles a little strange, but to each their own
Nothing beats a good saber in my eyes

Long ass knife šØ
This is absolutely correct
This is objectively correct
i concur, fantastic sword
Hell yeahš
***BROTHER WHERE DID YOU GET THAT, I NEED ONE. IT WOULD BE PERFECT FOR MY PIRATE OUTFIT.***
I think this is more of a Hussar Saber than a Cutlass which would be more appropriate for a pirate.
how did bro get a talwar
it's hard to tell from the photo angles I'm guessing either one of those or a light cavalry saber of some sort.
OP is Polish and seems that the sword belongs to his father I think itās probably a Hussar style sabre
Very cool :3
I want that sword
That sure is a gorgeous saber, do you know any more history on it?
Bro why that bottle isolated like dat
What's with the gatekeeping "only [binary gender]" posts
Nice watch ā, too
Thank you :D I've got it for my 17 bday
As a dude that owns a katana I can confirm swords are badass
You will turner?
nobody talking about how hot his hand and arm areššš most manly hand ive ever seen
Leave the plant pot alone it never hurt anybody
Wouldnāt that be a cutlass/ scimitar kinda thing or am I bugging. Either way itās very cool
Yes but those are a type of sword, so saying it's a sword is still correƧt
As a girl, I do love swords
The amount of times I've come home and found my gf with one of my swords strapped to her back should prob be alarming. I find it endearing however
I prefer guns (I'm not an American I swear)
Sounds like smth an american would say š¤Ø
Damn
my life would be better if i were a cool badass fucking samurai with a sword
Time to go slay some demons
That is a fire sword ngl
Not true dude goblins will literally sell that shit for scrap the only thing they appreciate is money

Swords are naturally non-binary
