Swords have come up once or twice, in a GD thread, and in the latest gun thread at least. Seems there are a few of us who have a fascination with these weapons. I used to fence Epeé, and have practised some Shaolin sword forms with a dao. Now I\'m hoping that some day I\'ll be able to practise Taiji sword forms, when I\'m good enough. I recall that vincegamer used to fence too. So? How about everyone else?
However, perhaps the real reason for starting this thread is the abvsolute necessity to brag, though it has my wallet farting dust.
Herewith my new Huanuo Royal Peony jian, with shark skin scabbard, sanmai blade (differentially tempered high-carbon steel, sandwiched by folded steel), and with a reputation of the most historically accurate contemporary jian. :bouncy:
