Howdy all, newbie here ( sharpens his tooth brush on the cement floor to be ready) So take it easy on me ..
I am new to all things swords and knives, i mean ive had a pocket knife on me since i was 9 but never anything that wasnt gathering dust from the local hardware store or hunting store. i wanrt to expand my collection, all 4 of them...I am very interested in Swords both real and display models from movies. I wanted to open this up and see if anyone had any ideas on what to start with for both a movie replica and or a collectors "real" sword, ie one that comes sharp.
What to buy?
What type of metal holds up on these bigger items?
What are the main things or specs i need to look for while browsing swords. abreviations etc?
Currently im saving for 2 pocket knives a fixed blade and also thinking about the Elven Sword from LOTR. So like United Cultrey has them, is that my only choice? Does someone make replicas that can actually cut?
Should I go Display or Play for my first sword?
Thanks in advance)
