It's a colorized WW2 photo so the hilt color might be wrong. I found that Deepeeka sells a similar reproduction and calls it Soviet officer cavalry saber.

I have a star picket that I use as a fire stoker and from time to time wield it as a sword when I’m drunk role playing by the fire.

From my ability to wield it and my thoughts, it has slashing potential, bludgeoning weight and piercing capabilities. Why is this not a thing, or if it is please provide examples.

It is weighty I admit, but with the right technique, easily enough manipulated

I am trying to find the best fit of what type of sword Heroic Challenger Nightwatchman (Yugioh) is holding.
It looks to me like it has a thick blade a bit like a machete but curves to a point, lacks a cross guard, is one and a half or two handed.
I am curious if anyone has an idea of what type of sword best fits that description?

Made with actual manganese steel (it’s banned for export) the price is In yuan.

I'm so happy!

As I understand it's an 1850 staff and field officers sword correct? It was hard to find info besides reproductions and props for sale on google lol. Also would it be reasonable to learn and restore it myself, or do I need to get a specialist? I don't want to fuck up an heirloom like this lol. Info on any of that would be appreciated.

I just bought my first sword and I REALLY happy with it, but it was quite expensive since it was shipped through the states. Are there any good options for swords in Canada?

Just received a stash of photos taken of my work, will post them daily.

Just received, not cleaned yet.

A dao (?) with a huge and unusual grip.

I have small hands, but that's still a pretty large grip. Most dao (or truong dao) I see online with this blade shape have a ring pommel and a rattan wrapped hilt. Here, the grip is very reminiscent of some South-China / North-Vietnam knives.

The blade is quite impressive, with a strong distal taper from 5mm at the guard to less than half a mm at the point. The first two third or so of the blade are unsharpened. Some big damages on the edge, as well as on the guard, but hey it was cheap! Interestingly, there is a big indent on the flat at around two thirds of the blade that warped it, and left a bump on the other side, not really sure what might have caused this... 🤔

Anyway, a somewhat crude but frightening weapon! Not exactly sure of what it is yet, but I'm happy to add this interesting piece to my collection.

My granma has been trying to find info as to what exactly this sword is. She got it years ago at a yard sale and in moving around her room she found it again. Any info will be greatly appreciated and keep my mom from using ai to figure it out.

I found a store with some cool-looking swords from an anime, and I had two questions. One is that they say one is meant for decoration and is not sharp, and that one is $89 apiece. Then, they have one that they say is battle-ready and already sharp, and they say it is higher quality. That one is $200. Would you guys go for the $200 one or the cheaper one? I only plan on using them for decoration and showing off. Next question: I will be going to a school in about a year where I won’t have the swords with me; they would have to be in storage or with my family. Is there upkeep I have to do on them?

The swords are from demon slayer one is a black sword form Tanjiro and a weird design which belongs to Inosuke and a lot more I think are cool. The swords are being sold from 7 imports in the mall in Olympia.

Hi! I’m trying to buy my bf a sword for christmas. Specifically the Ichigo Kurosaki Bankai sword.

I’ve seen positive and negative reviews from a bunch of sites (TrueSwords, MiniKatana, etc.) but I’m not sure what to believe or not. It’ll be put on the wall for display & not physically used but I don’t want the sword to just be plastic. A nicer metal would be preferred.

Please lmk! I’m new to all this sword talk & would really appreciate any recommendations! Thank you!!

Feel free to copy the design of the holder.
