i didn't mean use the sword to go killing people and stuff, but just between the two of us... if i'm going to have a sword on display in my room or whever:  mounted on the wall or something, why would you want it blunt?  I'd rather spend 15-20 minutes giving it a good sharpening and have it SHARP on your mantelpiece or wall or wherever!  it's just common sense!  a sword is supposed to be sharp, even if it's just a display sword!

True, but since it'd a display piece I'd never want to actually fight with it - it might damage the finish. If I wanted a fighting sword I'd go for one of the simpler ones that people have posted up here...

And I don't need weapons, I've got an SA80 BB Rifle sitting 2 metres from me - it's much more effective than its real life counterpart

let see that the other way around: it's a display sword, you put it on a wall, you never move it, why would you pay extra money to make it sharp? I wouldn't, THAT is common sense. Plus I don't want my g/friend to  cut her finger while cleaning the room ( when I see how sharp my brother's katana are, I think it's to a point you would never draw them if there's anobody around. You've seen the movie, bodyguard? when he drops a handkerchief on his sword? well my brother's katanas do the same )

girlfriend cleaning your room??? what you think people - i'm think hes single lol =) as for paying extra - the sword i want is by defaulkt sharp and you have toa sk for blunt version so you probally pay more for the blunt one

and i want my sword to chopa  silk hankerchief  when i drop one on the blade

and stleath is right never know when you might need it and got to remember in close combat a sword is more effect than a gun

also doesn't need bullets which can run out

 you spelt my name wrong! it's "Stealth" and not "stleath" lol

also, this sword (and quite a few swords... most) come dulled (blunt) and you've got to sharpen it.  Cause a sword isn't "made" sharp... it's made dull, and either they have sharpen it (at extra cost to them) or you have to sharpen it.  a lot of people don't like shipping sharp swords cause it's a hazard, and shipping a sharp weapon does take more time to do.

doesn't everyone

if you read the link i posted you'll see the sword is shipped sharp by defaul tthye are made sharp  cause they are proper swords not jsut fake ones people ahve descided to sharpen this one is designed for cutting  =) or rather the edge geometry is  =) just got to know ehre to shop for swords ot get them sharp

[aldo_14]

I have a 5foot-ish long conquistador sword and a tabbard (round shield, cloth wrapped around harwood with some metal studs and a leather hand starp) hanging above me living room fireplace, actually.  Not sharp, but you could pretty much kill someone with it.  If you could lift the damn thing.

hargh! at least, read your posts two times before submiting them please You sound more and more like stargunner

[Stealth]

i know some swords are sold sharpened, bu dont' think swords are 'made' sharpened... cause they're not.  You don't pay more to have a dull sword, you pay more to have a sharp sword, cause they have to sharpen it
