I know, right... There is no clean way to ask, "Can I see your sword?" without chuckling like a 5th grader!
I'm looking to be under $350.

I've been looking on this message board and other boards for the past few weeks trying to chose my first medieval sword... The reviews have been both helpful and overwhelming at the same time. The mixed messages cause the most problems: One review says the XYZ brand swords are too heavy/light/sharp/dull, the next review says the new version is better, and the next says they haven't improved much... Some say XYZ brand is flawless, and others say they're garbage. I'm getting the feeling this is the same as a Ford guy talking to a Chevy guy, a Remington guy talking to a Winchester guy or a SkiDoo guy talking to a Polaris guy. Am I close?
So all of that said, can you fine folks help me out? I'm asking for 2 things:
1) Does anyone know of a shop in the metro-Detroit area that actually stocks battle-ready/functional swords?
2) Is anyone in the metro-Detroit area willing to let me view their collection? I'm not looking to beat up a bunch of targets. Heck, I don't even need to take a swing... There is just too much info out there to make a decent choice without actually seeing the sword.
Any help would be appreciated...
Thanks!
