Those who know me know that I love collecting swords, especially samurai swords or Japanese weapons. Recently I have started to expand my sword collection by collecting movie swords.
Since I am a huge movie fan (I own around 450 movies) i decided to combine both of my passions and further improve my sword collection. Of course I needed to buy only the best swords available; my collection contains only high quality swords.

Medieval warfare weapons are like a passion for me, i love everything about them. I own a nice collection of medieval swords, Japanese & samurai sword and any other type of swords that can be added to my collection. I guess it is fair to say that it is a passion.
Do you share that passion too?
The medieval Weapons can be separated in many sections. Too keep things short; here is just a small resume of the categories of weapons that could be found in the medieval times.
- Axes
- Daggers & knives
- Swords
- Blunt Weapons
- Polearms
- Tactic
- Ranged
- Siege
- Warships
- Armour
- Fortification
Personally i have a huge preference for the medieval swords and any other types of swrods. What about you?
Has a huge fan and sword collectors i am always on the look for my future acquisition when i am on down times. One Type of swords that i am simply crazy about are Samurai swords.
The Samurai sword also called the Katana is probably the most advance sword ever forged in the history. It is important to understand that the term Katana is often usesd incorrectly as a generic name for a Japanese sword. This is wrong, there are actually a lot of different Japanese swords, the katana is simply the weapon of choice used by most samurai.
Katana were often paired with the Wakizashi or “Shoto” which is similar but smaller version of the Katana. Katana were mostly worn by the warrior class. Some warrior were also wearing the Tanto which the smaller version (The size of a dagger). The weapons combined togheter were called the Daisho and were considered by Samurai to be linked with their honour and for some, their soul.
As you can imagine, there are so mouch more that can be said about the Katana, the wakizashi and even the tanto, let’s just start by saying that these sword are amazing.
As a fan of every type of sword, we will also talk about the various swords that were seen in history, like the Medieval swords, roman and viking swords, ninja weapons and more…
That should be interesting don’t you think?
Talk to You Soon!
In the few slow time i get as a fireman there are a couple of things that i like to do to relax and at the same time to have fun.
You see we don’t have a lot of free time when we are at the station but on occasion we have nothing to do. We got together and bought two game consoles, the xbox 360 and the Wii so that we can all chill and have some fun together.
Some of the younger firefighters like to play some kind of fantasy role playing game but let’s just say that most of us like to gather around and play some sort of fantasy game on the video game console. For my part I really like the game God of war.
I mean this guy in the game is awesome and i am not even talking about the two huge medieval swords he carries…those things are huge. Loll.
Anyway while some of us prefer to play sports or other type of games, my personal thing is fantasy games…I need to play the role of the warrior fighting with some sort of medieval of fantasy sword.
Games like Prince of Persia where I get to carry two huge fantasy swords or Tenchu where I get to be a ninja fighting with a samurai sword or any other type of ninja weapons. Theses games are my personal favourites
But hey that’s just me
