Topic.










Just curious. Been into swords and historical martial arts in general for a while now and I was mostly wondering what the fine denizens of CE prefer.

Myself, i've always been a Jian and Saber kind of guy.

In games, I tend to prefer greatswords. In terms of your poll, I suppose Zweihander would be the best option, >.<

Katanas. Samurai culture, the way of Bushido has always fascinated me.

Katanas in real life, but daggers while playing games. I'm a big fan of fast characters like Taki, Talim, or Chipp Zanuff.

Katanas for aesthetic, but bastard swords for personal use. I got to try a fencing class once, but it wasn't just rapiers. There were sabers, claymores, a whole bunch of shit. I was big and strong enough to use zweihander with one hand, and I'm not gonna lie, it made me feel like a special boy.

Other:
Swordstaffs/polearms/spears

If swordstaffs dont really count, then scimitar or khopesh.

I have always been more attracted to the lengthy weapons like spears and swordstaffs, but for the more classical sword aspect I didnt care for the longsword or zweihander and preferred the funkier looking swords.

More of a polearm guy myself as well, I especially like a good Yanyuedao or Glaive.

Pay no attention to my username. >.>

I voted Rapier.

I like the Inigo Montoya sort of sword for personal use, maybe with a dagger/main gauche.

I think I have the terminology right.

Bastard/Hand-and-a-Half swords. Like the idea of having a medium point between two-handed power and one-handed maneuvering.

Katars are are nice, though I've always been a fan of Bladed Tonfa ever since Kroenen made it look so damn impressive in the first Hellboy movie. Though interestingly enough, it is the primary weapon of one of my favorite classes in Ragnarok Online, the Assassin.

Wakizashi--between a Tanto and a Katana in length, but fast and light.

[ Wailing with oversized swords irl tires you out and puts you off-balance. ]

Always found Katars to be pretty cool and i've wanted to get my hands on a pair for some time now. Probably my second favorite Indian weapon, after Bagh Nakh that is.

Tough choice.

I'd say Bastard Sword/Hand-and-a-Half Sword, but that isn't an option. So, I'll pick arming sword, because I'm fond of sword and shield style.

Scimitars are beautifully designed.

They also have amazing weight ratio, they feel amazing to swing.

Either a katana or a good old fashioned medieval broadsword.

Though, my favorite single sword of all time is the Master Sword.

I will choose that sword that Aragorn picks up at Helms Deep and says. This is a good sword
it looks rather broad or Viking style.

Based choice. Especially when they are hooked together and swung as one long flail.

Fair.

Mostly expected as that's the one i'd imagine most people know, though i'll give them credit. Katanas and it's derivatives are still incredibly cool in their own right whether through the crazy forging process, lengths taken to maintain them, or through it's martial style and katas. Anime and general overglorification have ruined their image to an extent though, no doubt.

Gonna need to get my hands on one one of these days.
