Paal_101 Posted November 24, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2003 Lol doh! Forgot about Chinese broadsword and falx Kopis can double for falcata though! Here's some links to picsWe all know what a katana looks like Indian tulwarhttp://therionarms.com/antiques/therionarms_c362.htmlPersian shamshirhttp://www.kultofathena.com/persian_shamshir.htmlWe all know what a gladius looks like Greek kopishttp://www.valiantco.com/world1.html (look for it top right)Celtic spathahttp://therionarms.com/sold/com079.htmlP1796http://www.napoleon-series.org/military/or...wordpoint1.htmlMedieval Broadswordhttp://swords.com/site/cart/Medieval/083-P...1adef5ade7c8e7d(not my area of expertise, tons of varieties within this class, as you have probably guessed just choose this one for a pic)Now the voting can begin!

ElfTheHunter Posted November 24, 2003 Report Share Posted November 24, 2003 Sticking with my previous choice, but the celtic spartha is pretty cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Op Posted November 24, 2003 Report Share Posted November 24, 2003 I think the Persian shamshir is pretty cool looking so it has my vote. Broadswords are my second pic but we see them all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeros Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 A falchion, a sword with the power of an axe Exotic weapons are awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paal_101 Posted November 25, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 That they are Man, I would not want to get hit with a falchion! That'd take your arm off pretty easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
av_nefardec Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 I've always had a weakness for Celtic and Norse weaponry I like them especially with lots of runic engravings and knotwork on the hilt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 Even though it is not on the list im going solo and voting for the Elven Last Alliance swords in the movies...Don't really know why but that is the best sword in th emovie in my opinion.

SUD Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 I voted medieval broadsword Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkAngelBGE Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 Medieval broadsword, looks the best. I love German Zweihänder the most, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Op Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 @Sam: Oh yeah, I forgot about those swords. Even though they're fictional, they're still cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElfTheHunter Posted November 26, 2003 Report Share Posted November 26, 2003 From the movies my pick for swords would be Theoden's and then Eomer's. Just facinating engravings in the hilt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paal_101 Posted November 26, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2003 My fave from the movies is Elrond's sword so katana-like *idea for new poll* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
