1) Your #1 favorite sword in your collection is?
Folded steel shinogi zukuri with the rayskin scabbard.
2) The most durable/unbreakable sword in your collection is?
Probably my osoraku tanto. Stout little thing and I know it can take a hit.
3) The best looking sword in your collection is?
Stefan Roth longsword.
4) The sword in your collection you would pass on to your closest family member as an heirloom?
Any and all. If a younger member gets interested I'll hook them up with something according to their preferences when the time comes.
5) The sword in your collection you got the best "deal" on is? (Best value, not necessarily the cheapest)
Again that folded steel katana. Rick Barrett seriously hooked me up on that one.
6) Your very first sword was?
Bugei samurai, used and since I think it has made it back to the original owner
7) As of today, your most recent sword you bought was?
I think the last one I bought was that A&A spatha. It's fun!
8) The most recent sword you gave away or sold was?
WW2 gunto to my buddy for his birthday. Guy needed a sword and I had a couple already. It was a good one.
9) The longest sword blade in your collection is?
Stefan Roth longsword.
10) The heaviest sword in your collection is?
Probably the longsword. It's a close game and I'm going by subjective feel.
11) The sword that's not currently in your collection today, but will be for sure in the future?!
Good on swords for now, probably a spear.
12) The most damaged or rusty sword in your collection is?
Short katana by Przemek, never got around to having it mounted or polished

Albion knight. Only one I have that doesn't have one.
14) The sword in your collection with the best feeling grip to you? (fits just right for your hand)
That folded shinogi zukuri. Maybe the remounted koa isshin, once it gets straightened out I'll have a better sense right now I'm not digging it but that is entirely due to the blade, the mounts seem great.
15) The most unique or rare sword in your collection is? (an antique, a custom forge or perhaps a limited production edition)
Antique shikomizue.
