Anyone collect swords? (1 Viewer)

Got a fat check at work last month and decided to buy a few cool swords i saw online which was probably dumb considering idk anything about swords and they might be poor quality.
Curious if anyone is into swords and where they buy them. Drop pics of cool swords you own

I wouldn't collect swords in general, but I'd love to have the WETA Workshop production design replicas of the swords used in the LOTR trilogy.

Are you looking for replica swords that you can display or actual battle swords for medieval (etc) training, tourney competitions?

Big difference in price, the replicas won't hold up to much use that includes contact.

I used to collect swords, but I haven't publicly displayed then for quite some time. I've never bought online, because I want to know the construction and quality. Besides, "online" wasn't a place people did business when I was buying.

I probably wont buy any more tbh i just bought a few that looked cool and got me curious about the market. Idk if the ones i got fit more into one category more than the other. They are mot replicas tho

I have several United Cutleryl LOTR replicas in my poker room, they're all excellent quality. Purchased many years ago, although I think some are still available.

Not really full-on swords but I have a couple of Swamp Rat Rodent Wakis (wakizashi):

For this last pic, for comparison's sake, the blade on the left is a Schrade Priscilla - very nice handling (I've been dabbling in FMA since 1988), and I keep another one in my car but they're nowhere near as rugged/sturdy as the Waki.
And this is the video that got me to buy them, lol:

If I ever get around to buying a full size, for my budget, I'd probably be looking at a Paul Chen/Hanwei practical katana

See that black smudge on the blade? Pretty recognizable name - Randy Jackson. From American Idol.
