I like Swords!

Those are some really nice swords. It's really nice to see something that was actually built for combat rather than display. I like the shape and design of the second one, although the blade looks a little thin for a curved blade sword, at least to me. The first one is good too, looks like it would have made a fairly decent dueling sword.

(let me first say that I'm not even close to being a sword scholar) The design on that sword's hilt looks Arabic... I wouldn't even want to try and date it, other than to say it looks pre-Rennaissance.

Well, at least you didn't try to put them in a carry on. Airport security would have loved that one, granted, they probably wouldn't have found them considering they let bombs go through.
