Not me! I'm a weapons collectin' fool! Especially swords. My family has a collection of weapons going back to ancient Rome.

I studied foil, epee', broadsword, katana, bowie knife, if it had a blade to it I practiced with it.

You'ld be surprised how strong our ancestors were. Some of those swords and axes and spears weigh upwards of 70lbs. How the fuck a guy could swing or throw one of them things all day still astounds me considering their heights on average were around 5' 6" and some did it with 40lbs or more of armor on!

Fine craftsmanship in sword making is a gift and Hollywood movies really have boomed the business.

One of my all time favorites is the Klingon War Blade. I bought one of the first replicas and this fucker is strong, sharp as fuck and you could kill a rhino with this bad boy if you got close enough.

The company who actually developed this sword is not very old. Its made from cheap stainless steel which will rust eventually. It also does not have any real world use other then to hang on your wall. It might be worth $500 or even $1000 to a die hard collector. These days people are even paying $800 for in game mounts that simply go "poof" if you happen to lose your account for any reason.

But keep in mind its a "cheap" replica of a virtual item that has yet to even exist in the real world. There are many epic and legendary weapons in the game and most are abandoned once the next best thing is released. Eventually this weapon will be old news which few will remember aside from those who are still making payments 20 years later. Its kinda like getting a tattoo with your wife's name and 6 months later she divorces you.
