Eh, I'm not really a sword person. I like my bows better- the Hoyt Custom Pro recurve, the fifty pound hickory longbow from Woodcraft, the lemonwood Woodcraft bow that's probably older than me because bow-quality lemonwood comes from Cuba so the thing is probably pre-embargo, the other three or four longbows I own but don't shoot on account of their age... They'll be going up high on the walls once I get a ladder to use for that specific purpose.
