What's your favorite kind of sword??

So,yeah,what is it?And,most importantly,do you actually own one??

A properly well made katana is the best sword there is, no contest. I have a crappy one I bought at A-kon for for $70.
My second is large sword. Y'know like almost any of Guts'.

And, though its not a sword, you can't beat a chainsaw battleaxe!

Right,I'm quite fond of my katana too.I also have a broadsword and an old rusty saber (a family heirloom,kinda).

I love katanas...they cut the air so beautifully, I sadly don't own one beacause if I'm gonna buy one I'll buy one in japan(if i ever go), but i have used one.

Guys, come on, this is a BERSERK board, so I'll say it again:
WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE KIND OF SWORD GODAMMNIT!!!!?

I like Zoddo's big sword. Other than that, the Daedric Dai-Katana from Morrowinf is pretty cool.

The majority of the people here like Katanas. I Like sabers alot better though.

manji from blade of the immortal has some pretty cool swords .... kenshin has a nice one .... i have a kodachi and a katana .... my preffered weapons are hanbos though

That's more like it.

Guts' Dragonslayer is my favourite of course 8)
And the second is the one used by Dante in Devil May Cry (sword named Alastor)

so I'd say that I like old-gothic-style sword in general

I personally prefer shortswords and their related cousins. I like the dual-wielding and defensive possibilities.

Good, old Musashi of "Vagabond" fame wrote " The true swordman has no preference"...

Just your very basic Japanese sword. I'd love to own my own blade, but I know I'd have too much fun chopping things up ^^;;

I like zatoichi sword. It's a blind man's sword. Its disguised as a walking stick. Very slender. The only problem I don't like about Katana's and other Japanese weaponry is they break compared to bastard swords and medival swords of a much heavier and sturdier build, and compared to Chinese swords, they lack flexibility by comparison. Nonetheless, they are much better for piercing type blows and perhaps the sharpest of all blades. Like many martial art scholars, there's a distinct difference between Japanese Swords and Chinese swords. Japanese swords are more linear, and their swordsplay is very linear too, just like Japanese martial arts compared to Chinese martial arts. But if I were to choose, I'd go for them medival bastard swords. They're much more pratical, and much more durable. Furthermore, they can crush heavy armor.

Anyhow, I must admit, my favorite weapon is the Butcher's cleaver. Something of this resemblance shown below:



Now, being killed by a sword equates to death by a critical strike, but being killed by a cleaver is PURE OWNAGE AND RAPE.

did you know that it is bad luck to draw a sword without drawing blood?

I don't think that that is a general superstition. Some places its a matter of honor. I don't buy into that superstition and practice with my sword.

Then again, my luck has an evil sense of irony.
