Very cool.

The older the edged weapon, the better!

James Mattis would have had something educational to add to this I am sure.

Loki: First of all, great name. I just put that link you posted on my "favorites." Thanks! I'm going to read that now and save it anyway to drool over time and again.

GOod quote,the older the blade the better.What is it with old blades???

I can only dream of some day holding a blade that was made 2000 years ago.Its part of the reason i love history so much.Reading is fine,but i want to touch it.

But like all us knife freaks,if i were to get the chance to hold a 2000 year old sword,id end up swinging it and breaking it

I guess thats why they keep them in the glass boxes at the museum
