Hey, guys.
Just wanted to see what everyone's favorite sword was.
The only requirements are:
1. It has to be something you own or have owned in the past. 2. It has to be functional. 3. It has to be cool!
So, what is everyone's all time favorite sword?

I have too many. Here is two that I can round off: 1. Fable Blades: Sword of Whispering Woods 2. Jake Powning: Du Sith
Hard choice man...

Seth, you own Du Sith? If I had to pick from something I own or have owned...hmm...that's tough. Considering my two favorite blades are ONLY blades at this point they don't really qualify as swords, per se, but my favorite fully-mounted sword is probably my Hanwei PK. Though close behind it is my AT 1315. However, if it could be ANY sword.....................................

Yeah, I know, if it could be ANY sword we'd never be able to chhose, lol! (Which is why I said we had to own it) As far as I know Seth doesn't own a sword as of yet, so I think he missed that little detail.

It has to be cool! So, what is everyone's all time favorite sword? I have only owned one sword(though that’s soon to be rectified) so by your rules I would have to pick my Albion Squire, its is certainly functional and could be described as cool.

Not too shabby there, HR. Not bad at all. Specs? Maybe a review? Blade: 21" Overall: 26.5" Width: 1.75" POB: 5" from guard COP: ~12" from guard Weight: ~2lb Unsharpened. Quite blade heavy, which I like for its size. Can't do much reviewing, since she's blunt, and I can't do any cutting until I finish college and move back home. She has one HELLUVA presence in the hand. I'd get rid of all my other swords before letting this one go.
