I have the sword from the movie Blade, a small dagger, and a homemade taser.

how did you make a taser? im interested.

i have a few swords (mostly novely stuff though, like cane swords...aka oversized letter openers) but im mainly into staves and scythes so i have and collect quite a few canes. my favorite has a pretty deep history and its also a family heirloom, so its cool. scythes on the other hand...i made one but it was iffy, so instead i tricked out my tree-saw, lol.

This is fun little thread to talk about what weapons you have or would like to have one day. ^_^


I Have a short sword, a long dagger, and a normal dagger so far. My BF has more....but I'll let him post about that. 3nodding


So what weapons do you usually have on you, and do you know how to use them effectively?

...If you wish it so. I have a naginata- the type of spear japanese women used to defend their homes, not the 9' long cowardly weapons the samurai used, a well-cared for footman's warhammer, a self-forged handaxe, a shortsword of African/Brazilian make, once belonging to an accomplished warrior(and human-blooded) which belonged to lurichan's departed grandfather and which I tend with reverence, and my greatest honor; a sweeping, single-edged 3,000 fold damascus shortsword with tapered "I" crossguard and circular pommel of brass, lurichan's symbol etched thereon, dedicated to the defense of her honor, diligently and excrutiatingly crafted by myself. I am well-versed in the use of all melee weaponry, though I admit to being most proficient with shortswords.

My prized weapon is an antique Cossack dagger. The pommel and scabbard are made of silver. It's low-grade silver, so it does tend to tarnish quickly, but it looks quite pretty when I polish it up. There's shallow carving all down the length of the scabbard, and a bit of enamelwork.

And for some reason, the thing smells like old blood. It was like that as long as I've had it, though it's been cleaned up. Sometimes I wonder about it...

You can never get the scent of old blood out of a blade - a chemical reaction of the iron in the blood, the ferrous blade(which is filled with the tiniest pock-marks from forging) and the oils used to clean and polish.

Can't say that I have...why do you ask? Then again, I play so many I might have forgotten...

The thing is, I'm not convinced it was ever used. It's supposed to be a ceremonial blade, so it's unlikely that it would have seen any fighting.

Then again, I rather like the old blood smell. It lends it a certain mystique. If it ever has wounded someone, I suppose that makes its story more interesting...

A Cossack was only believed to be a man when his blood had been shed, so maybe that was the ceremony it was used in?
A blooded blade does make for an interesting tale...

...that's not crap. A .22 has more velocity, I've been told, than a .45 and has amazing distance. The butterfly knife is an exquisite form in and of itself.

We don't need gun control!
What we need is bullet control, if every bullet cost 5,000 dollars there would be no innocent bystanders.

Thank you Chris Rock.
