POLL: Which is cooler? Asian or Western (fantasy) swords? **NOW PICS**

Asian swords (katana, masamune, etc): Those sleek samurai katana swords, forged with timeless tradition and humble effort are curved naturally to flow as one with your body. They will cut through bodies like a hot knife on butter. Remember Kill Bill?
example one
example two


Western or fantasy swords (claymore, flamberge, etc): These grand weapons of justice also represent prestiege, honor and valor. The might of this sword will serve coup de grace to ones that are beyond redemption.

example two

[edit]
i didn't say which is better for fighting, i asked which is COOLER?

What sword weighs 50lbs? Those claymores weigh like 4lbs.

I like Western swords better, but that straight Asian sword is nice. I don't like Katanas. Straight is better.

By the time you can swing that 50lb hunk of steel around, you already have about a dozen slashes on you.

Sword? I was talking about a sewar pipe.
 
i would like a ninja to.

it's an asian sword, but not a slashing weapon like a katana. it's designed specificall for stabbing.


oh, and my brother got a katana and wakazashi for birthday and christmas.

it looks nice 🙂

edit: 2000 dollars nice... folded steel blade, etc.
 
Excalibur pwns you all!!!

Not a big fantasy guy or swords guy so i guess my opinion doesn't really matter, but I find Western fantasy stuff to be more interesting.

Your example 1 Asian sword doesn't look like a katana.
 
Not all Asian swords are katanas, and all katanas are Japanese. masamune is actually the name of a famous katana maker from Japan. You play final fantasy too much. 😛

A light sword like the green jaded sword of destiny is cool.
