Here in a month or two I will have a little bit of sword cash and I am planning on getting a few. For right now I would like to get a few different styles that are sort of representative of some of the major sword types that I would like to have. Right now I only have katana so I am looking more towards the euro style blades and I have some idea of what it is I want to get, I just am looking for some input and opinions on what I have in mind and what others might recommend. So here are the styles and swords I have in mind...
Long sword- I am pretty much sold on the VA practical here.
Arming sword- I am kind of leaning towards the practical Castile on this one, but am undecided...
Side sword- This is my favorite style at the moment and I may get more than one, although the peice I have in mind is definitely the most expensive on the list

just fell in love with it. Was thinking of getting the Hanwei Side sword or Cromwell also...
Rapier-Kind of part of the previous style in my head but I do like the DSA rapier that just came out...
Saber- Not at all sure, I might try to get the actual Marines NCO sword for my dad because he never got his, or I could wait until my brother graduates from West Point and get him his saber, not having ever been in the military I really dont want to get one for myself until they have one...
Jian- Probably wait for a little more cash and try to get one from Jin Shi custom, I was waiting for the hanwei Rodell jian, but I dont like the handle and I definitely want one with proper geometry.
Phillipines- A lot of styles in this category, but I was thinking of picking up a kris from Traditional Filipino Blades
Anyway, getting all of these would well outstrip my budget so its kind of a wish list, but I will be getting at least a few. I welcome all feedback and opinions.
