Which sword?

[Adym]

Hey guys,

I collect swords! Betcha didn't know that! But as of late, I'm a bit short on cash, so as I shop for new blades, I need to make sure that I know what I want. But I love all of these selections! I have studied them all thoroughly and they all fit the bill for what I want! So I want to know, Which would you buy?

1.) Cheness' "Oniyuri Bujinkan Katana"

A Historically Accurate Ninja Weapon

This one I liked because of its unique proportions. The handle is an extra long 14 inches, while the blade is an extra short 23 inches. This balance gives the sword excellent leverage, making the light blade easily maneuverable. It also features the strongest steel out of all the options, boasting a strong 9260 Silicon Alloy High Carbon Spring Steel blade. The other feature that I liked is the saya (scabbard). It is the same length as that of a normal katana. This makes it appear deceptively long when sheathed, but also makes it very fast on the draw.

Overall, a very fast, quick sword. Here is a link to a full review by Paul Southern.

2.) Cold Steel's "Grosse Messer"

The Big Knife

This sword is a beast. It holds a 32 inch blade, making it much longer then the last option. It is also made by Cold Steel, one of the best makers of swords and knives among other weapons, which means that its durability is off the charts. This sword has a unique feeling, as I have already handled one myself, and it was incredibly powerful.

This thing is epic! Here is a full review by Robert Betts.

3.) Cold Steel's Persian Shamshir

Pure Badass!

Uh, It's a scimitar! Well, technically a shamshir, but it's pretty close to the same thing. I have wanted one of these ever since I was a kid! It is also made by Cold Steel, through Windlass Steel Crafts, out of true Indian steel. Cold Steel instills its Durability in this sword, making it out of strong and sharp high carbon steel!

Overall, This is an epic blade!

So Which one would you buy? They are all good swords and I wish I could get all three but if i accumulate close to a thousand dollars, I'm not going to spend it on swords. And please, nobody post a response that says: "I wouldn't buy a sword, just get a gun".

Please reply!
