So I´ve recently come across a bit of money, and I´m thinking of spending it on a high-quality sword. Now, this will be the biggest weapons purchase I have ever made (over $200 D=), so I want to put a lot of thought into it first. Can you guys give me some feedback?
On one side I want to get this sword.
I always wanted a Japanese Damascus sword. Not only that but this is particularly stylish. The black blade and the square dragon-styled hilt are very attractive to me. Oh, and my last straight-bladed Japanese sword just broke down, so this would be a suitable successor. Of course the thing is that relaiable Japanese swords can also be found frequently for lower prices, so I don´t quite know if the slight quality boost would be worth the price tag.
On the other hand, we have this beast.
Now, two things that I´ve been wanted for about two years are a generation2 sword, and a battle-ready Medieval style fantasy sword. You see, the two styles that are neglected as far as power and quality goes are Fantasy and Medieval style swords. To get a decent sword of that style, it is impossible to obtain a new one and pay less than $200, and I finally have that kind of disposable income, so this is an epic opportunity to add some variety to the muscle in my collection. Oh, yeah, and if I get this one, it will be my first sword with a full spring-steel blade. The best steel I´ve had to date is 1050 high carbon.
Regardless of which sword I buy, they will probably be the most powerful swords in my collection.
