So I finally got around to taking pictures of some of my weapons...granted, I couldn't do it outside as I would have liked because of threatening rain.

Let me first start off by saying:

So without further ado:

My Sai, got about 2 years back

A rather small mace for $10 I bought

Spiked Flail...about as dangerous as it looks

Wallhanger Dagger

Full-tang Knife/Dagger set

Longsword (I think), very light
http://i581.photobucket.com/albums/ss252/SoM_DragonGuardian/General%20Weapons/DSCF0074.jpg

Not sure what this is, but it's a half-tang, and one of my favorites

Claymore. 'Nuff said.

(Ok so the sheath is a little small...)

"Dragon Claw" katana, the claws are sharper than the blade...

And here we have Elexorian, quite heavy, but very pretty

And, what I hold as my "Crown Jewel" bought 'ere from Jason, the Mt Fuji. I think I put a little too much oil on last time I cleaned it...I'm still learning. I was going to write a review, then noticed I don't know what to look for in a detailed review.

Thanks to you both for replying so soon. If you have any comments on photography or set-up for taking the pictures they're more than welcome...most pictures I take are of miniatures....so it's odd not using Macro.

I see now where your monikur comes from ( you like dragon stuff!!)
Nice collection!!! i had a two ball spiked mace bought in malaga spain that was a fright to swing, cause ultimately you had to slow it down (if you didn't strike something) and invariablely hit some part of your body!! after a few o those i just threw it down.

rich welcome and of course introduce yourself

Yay my first post!

Nice collection though. My collection disappeared in an unfortunate fire 7 years ago and i didnt start collecting again untill the other day by shear luck.

For me the most eye catching thing was the saya on the Mt Fuji, would love to see that in some sunlight...

Very nice collection. I also have that one dagger. Love the Elexorien just like all the Kit Rae stuff. Did you know there's a band named after that sword?? If you like the heavy stuff: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1Vb5NjqUy0
The band calls it Epic Battle Metal.

I'll give them a listen, i tend to favor the more hard rock/metal musics. I personally like the Kit Rae stuff as well...it's typically out of my price range though.

EDIT: I remembered randomly...I was visiting the weapon shop that i bought the claymore from, was helping the owner clean up a little (we go back quite a few years) and found the matching sheath. He said I could take it since he certainly wouldn't use it for anything...normally the ones he sells dont come with a sheath.
