Historycel here... So I have nine swords, a bow, a spear, and a large buckler, all high carbon, sharp, oiled and functional. I also have three daggers and three fighting knives... A homemade flail, an automatic baton with an S guard,a wooden baton, a modified 80lb pistol crossbow that pulls 160lbs, every throwable ninja weapon you can think of, caltrops, smoke bombs, traps ect... As well as other legally owned weapons that only a fool would mention owning online. I customized all my swords and a few other weapons, every sword has jewels and exotic scabbard with baldric. I like my weapons to look historical and noble, not a fan of the modern tactical look. Hearing a perfect "swoosh" from good edge alignment and breaking out the coffee filters and metal polish are great copes.
