I like the detailing on the catch. The blade has a nice shape, too. I'm not a fan of the hilt spike, but that's personal preference. Who makes it? How much did it set you back?

Well at least it looks pretty.
EDIT: The ones I've seen are all black and stainless. I think I like this one better, though.

Lately I've been getting into Eastern swords, and I splurged on this one:
Nothing terribly special, but functional and gorgeous, so I spent half a paycheck on it.
And if you decide to buy online, buy at brothersmith-swords.com. Those guys know their shiznit.
EDIT: Also, I'm going to splurge again on a Kenshin-style reverse-blade, just because I think they're cool. I'm looking at This one: http://www.knightsedge.com/swords/rever ... -2044g.jpg

Um, those brothersmith folk are just resaleing the usual catalog stuff...plus, never trust anyone with a gif that moves at that speed
Thier "functional" pieces will be fairly so, they're indian made spring steel stuff, by Deepeeka, but you can get better prices than thiers, there's a lot of Deepeeka stockists out there.
Edit :
Actually, tell a lie, its mostly CAS and Marto stuff, only one or two deepeeka pieces....still all straight from catalouges and over the going prices....

A high quality custom made sword is the modern day equivalent of a Star Wars lightsaber. That's why they're so cool.

I just don't get what you can do with a sword...ok, you've bought it,
what are you going to do with it? Chase down Bambi and hack him/her
to pieces? Decapicate watermelons?
At least with firearms you can hunt or target shoot to take up your time,
and return your initial investment

Swords are somewhat cool, but they absolutely PALE in comparison to any firearm, let alone the godly M16 (though I'm not a big fan of the M60 Shep posted).
