I Like Swords
I have a modest sword collection, one of which is the exact one in the image above. It is a Italian longsword--and it is SHARP! These are not replica swords; they are the real thing. Once you have held a real sword, replicas feel remarkably inferior. (FYI: They are.) A replica, fit only for a decoration, is undependable for any real use. Replicas often have inferior materials, are easily broken, and will not sharpen. Dare I say it? They are useless. On the other hand, a genuine blade will withstand use, even abuse, and can be honed to razor-sharpness.
