Well I thought I would get 1 or 2 out of my pocket change.

When I get bored of them I'll happily hand them over. You realise, of course, that they'll be used!

Yes, Nice... But I'd rather have a rapier, or a katana. I don't care much for sabres...

I beleive you can get the katana's in straight format, not sure of the name, but it was billed as a "Ninja Sword".

Well, the Jubilee sword is gorgeous work, no question. But I'd rather have a sword that looks... well, like a sword.

Not that there's anything wrong with fancy, but one should at least be able to comfortably hold it in one's hand and swing it. This sword's hilt looks like it would be damned uncomfortable to hold, and not very pleasant to swing.

To my mind, most of the beauty of any sword derives from simplicity of line and how well it fuses form with function. If decorataion interferes with a sword's ability to act in its primary role, that decoration makes it less beautiful in my eyes, not more.

But that's why Baskin-Robbins has 31 flavors, I guess...
