Swords


Admiral

Recommended Posts

I have the "Hadhafang" sword from LoTR. It's Arwen's sword. I was gonna get Glamdring (Gandolf's) or the sword Aragorn has. But I just loved the design of Hadhafang. I also have a battle-ready double bladed viking axe. It's pretty big. I think the blade is 18" across, and 1/4" thick. With a 40" handle. I'm pretty sure it was made to kill in one sweep, it probably weighs 15lbs (or more). So it would have been to heavy to keep swinging back and forth. ( I bet it works great on cats...) *ques evil laugh*

Additional Info on the Tai Chi sword

 

It is 1 pound

It has designs on the blade

The blade is flexible so it can bend like a saw

All tai chi swords have hilts

In tai chi all the moves are done extremly slow. I mean as slow as humanly possible. This allows you to focus your chi. With the tai chi sword the strikes begin slow then explode with power at the end. The tai chi sword is made for thrusting. So all the moves in the sword form are different versions of thrusts.

All tai chi swords have a ball of string or a cloth on the end. This is called a tassle. It is used to distract the opponent.

All sheaths for tai chi swords are made so that the sword can be carried on your back.

Woh!!

Now this is a thread with some good information!

 

hey, where can I get a sword for 20 bucks?

 

So far all I have is a short spear from africa!

 

I really like "plain swords" not all this fantsy-stuff on them, like skulls and dragons!

The sword in the Braveheart movie is on of my favourite!

 

Does anyone here do "live roleplay"?

I don´t but the type of armor they wear sometimes (full armor) is pretty cool!

 

I wonder what real armor used to weigh ?
