    I have a Scottish Claymore in the basket-hilted style, various daggers of various makes, a Sgian Dubh, numerous hunting knives, and three old pocketknives I inherited from my grandfather. I hope to soon add a Pappenheimer rapier to this collection, or a cavalry sabre, probably in a Prussian or British style. I'll post a picture when I can.

    I've got a ... knife. Living at college puts a bit of a damper on weapon collecting. Plus, I'm going for the more practical and lower cost firearms collection first.

    General-Winter, if you haven't already, you should check to see if there are any ARMA guys around you. Great people for learning how to sword fight.

    Guns. I have a couple of daggers and a sword or two, but guns will make it way easier to fight off the zombie hordes.

    I always wanted to collect medievil weapons and armor... and I thought about going for the affordable replicas, but decided I wouldnt be happy until I could get the real deal, ie used ones

    and they cost real money... which I dont have yet

    One day I want a full replica set of Roman armour and the weaponry. Of course, there are pretty tight lergal restrictions here in Australia.

    Myself, I'd like a keris. Just to brag about it to my Eurasian friends
