Can't imagine that anyone here would care to see these... but since I shot pictures of them... How about some cheap knockoff replicas of some swords everyone here should recognize? I'll say this, though... Narsil/Anduril... is USELESSLY LONG, according to the movie. And the elven swords? Such HORRIBLE balance... At least the orc swords would be useable... That and a shield would be pretty devestating, though it's more of a mass weapon than a sword. The closest I have to a "fantasy blade" is the one at the very top-right. They called it a rapier... It's not. Left Side, from the top: Falcata Rapier (the long, thin one that crosses onto the right side) Celtic Leaf Blade Archer's Blade (Similar to those at the Battle of Agencourt) Typical European Dagger Typical European Longsword Right Side, from the top: A "rapier" - this is as close to a "fantasy blade" as I have. Battle Axe Small Scottish Styled Dagger Qian Kun Ri Yue DaoExecutioner's Blade Chinese Sword

;D Does that mean everyone's shopping for new skis or boards?? I'm just praying it's extreme "cold and wet" not "dry and hot" this winter! When I lived in Chicago, I always spent time at the weapon display at the Art Intstitue. Halberds are my favorite! Though everybody likes a big sword
