spathariossa Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 (edited) Hey! All you sword people, let's share pics of cool swords. I found this one over at Kris Cutlery and I've been eyeing it since forever. It is a Kampilan used by the Moro pirates of Mindanao in the Philippines.

JazzforJesus Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 i sword fight with some of my friends with wooden swords... its actually fun. my sword has alot of celtic drawn into it same cross piece as above but a crescant moon as pommel and alot celtic drawings on it idk i just think hey you can pick up a gun and shoot and the person is dead. not much to do with it, if cat had opposable thumbs then he could do it. with a sword its not that simple you need skills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raptor13 Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 i really don't see how having more skills in killing someone somehow makes it more honorable. non-lethal sword-fighting is cool though. next year i'm gonna join the fencing club at my college.

JazzforJesus Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 look im not saying you should kill somebody and that killing is honorable but when you compare Gun to Sword, i would rather die by sword cause then i could put up a fight. JUST CALL ME OLD FASHIONED. Sword fighting requires skills, mental stamina, and much more. and sword fighting is more personal. I dont know i just think its more honorable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spathariossa Posted January 27, 2005 Author Share Posted January 27, 2005 Sword fighting is NOT more honorable. I've trained in fencing, kendo, and the Medieval Martial Arts and I can tell you that it is about killing another human being. It is a stretch to ever call that honorable. But even so, there is nothing less honorable about using a gun just because it kills from a distance. In fact I don't think honorable is ever the word with killing people. In the end, the justification for killing is what matters. The method doesn't change the justification. That being said - I like swords better.
