Swords!

[Lazlo Falconi]

No, we'll agree that if made properly, a katana can be perfectly balanced and extremely sharp, however, the same can be said with any type of sword.

listen jv2k katanas are world know for the perfection. And in fact conserderd the best swords in the world ever maid PERIOD.

Yes they are considered the best by japanophiles who don't realize that people in other culters didn't make good swords. All katanas have over any other sword is they are sharp, and that comes at the price of a really thin chipable edge. Besides that a good european sword is alot lighter on the pocket, plus they take up more space on your wall.

This is one thing that's always confused me... people i know over 'tinternet talk about how they make chainmail and buy various sharp medieval weaponry and all that sort of thing, but it's never made sense to me. I've never found myself wanting to own swords and knives let alone guns, and so it slightly unnerves me when i hear people talk enthusiastically about their collection of shiny steel and other stuff. Perhaps it's an american thing which doesn't translate over to england, or perhaps it's me... i just know that i never catch my friends (or anyone i know) talking about swords they own or plan to buy...

Doubt, I can explain.
Gun collections are often times used for hunting, and when one buys a gun its usually for protections. Things like medieval weapons have no such purpose, after all in this modern erra such weapons and armor are impractical. Swords just look cool, plus they harken back to a time when people had to have skill to kill each other. Not just pull a trigger or push a button from 1000 miles away. But mostly because they are damn cool.
