So I started a new collection hobby

[HumblePie]

Definitely some fun new toys in this hobby.

There are a few more specific ones I want to get still. The Conan movie blades for example.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Is this to compensate for your other hobby; reading about "meat missile mud baths"?

Ah so a collection of cheap stamped metal with a huge markup.

Uhh, none of them are cheap stamped metal. These are all 1060 or higher carbon forged steel blades.

 

[Matthiasa]

Well normally they are.

Pffft, not even 1080p. :thumbsdown:

There are plenty of cheap stainless steel stamped sword like objects out there. That is true. I don't buy those though. These are the real deal.

For reference, the bottom sword is a Hanwei Lowlander. It's about 6 feet tall from tip to pommel.

Here's a youtube video of a guy swinging it around. For reference the guy in the video is about 6'5".

Really? Those all look like stainless steel blades to me. hence, not real. Sorry, I collect myself and none of my non-replica blades are stainless steel. My collectable and replica swords are tho. But real, at least imo, does not equate stainless steal. Nice collection tho.

None of them are stainless. They are mostly made by Hanwei, Musashi, SBG, or Windlass armories.

The collection is pretty cool, but the presentation is pretty ugly.

I hope you are considering a better way of displaying those purty sharp metal thingies.

When you say "started a new collection hobby", how "new" is it really? I would think a new hobby wouldn't be more than a month old, yet you have a sizable collection already.

How many Orcs have you slain, and maidens ravaged?

In WoW? Over 9000.

Real life?
0, which is what happens when you try to play dungeons n dragons in real life.
That vagina dries right up when you start talking about your level 12 paladin.

 

[Spikesoldier]

About a month ago I started. So... I've spent about $2K or so on them.

I don't think the presentation is bad, it just needs some reorganization. Put them in order from largest to smallest and it would look a lot better I think.

 

[alkemyst]

what level dungeon master are you?

No offense meant to the OP, but what difference would it make? It doesn't have much pragmatic use, it doesn't retain/appreciate value, and I'm assuming the OP isn't really a student of fencing of any sort.

<--- Not much of a collector (obviously).
