It was a little snug and it took two of us but somehow we managed to stuff it in there. Taking it back out was a bit of a problem though and I took the brunt of the punishment since I was the one with the sheath. my body ached all over after it was done, luckily the guy I had help me put the sword in the sheath was kind enough to massage me afterwards.

I LARP... yes I made myself look like a nerd even amongst a bunch of anime nerds, but hey its fun and I really don't care. As for swords I have picked up some but I have never really have had a chance to swing them around. Have a friend who practices with swords of all kinds am hoping that eventually I might be able to go with him to try it out. Plan on getting myself a katana eventually and a wooden one cause I think the wood ones are pretty cool as well.

Actually there is a major problem with axes and that is that they get hung up a lot. Skill can lower the chances of it, but it still does a lot more than a sword ever would. There is a reason that the sword or a version of it is used by almost everywhere in the world. Plus the fact that an axe is only a slashing weapon whereas a sword may thrust as well. Its also generally faster due to its balance and easier to hit with (larger bladed surface).

Hyperion-XIC 7424 cr points Send Message: 23 / M / USA Offline	Permalink Reply Quote Posted 9/8/12 Yes I have, it was a Union Calvary sword from the Civil War. My friend's father bought it in a reputable auction house. The story is that the solider's family held onto the sword until a small privately owned museum bought it from them. The museum went out of business some decades later and they liquidated everything through the auction house. The auction housed claimed the sword cut at least 9 people but they have nothing to go on except what the former museum owner claim.
