Tips For Choosing a Collectible Fantasy Sword
Whether it's your first fantasy sword or the next one in your collection, it's an exciting time. Fantasy swords are wonderful collectibles that you can keep forever.
But before you begin your journey you should ask yourself a few important questions. You don't want to buy just any sword. You want the one that will match your persona and style. We've got tips for choosing a fantasy sword that's right for you.
There are some beautiful swords out there and some unusual ones. Which one is right for you? Use our quick tips to help you make your decision.
It doesn't make much sense to buy a wooden practice sword if you are just going to display it. Or vice versa. Buying a sword because it is pretty is one thing. But really consider what your sword's usage will be for purchasing.
Will you be involved in live action role playing? Then follow your group's or guild rules. Some don't allow real weapons on the field. Check that out before purchasing your fantasy sword. Use the following tips for choosing a fantasy sword.
Decorative Swords
A decorative fantasy sword is one that never sees live action but is beautiful to wear and to display. A decorative sword isn't made to be used for blade on blade action. It's meant to be a showpiece. Kind of like a well made, artistic prop. While sharp and still could be used for light cutting, the blade has not undergone the vaulting process that makes it a strong, almost indestructible blade. These blades tend to be less expensive as they are mainly for looks. Decorative swords are often worn with equally decorative scabbards made of leather or enamel. A decorative sword can also be used for display in a home or hall.
Battle Ready Swords
Next, we have the battle ready sword. Battle ready swords are real swords that are functional. Although they can be made with special tips that can inflict less harm, they are live weapons. Fans of battle ready swords are often involved in re-enactments, mock battles and martial arts. Battle ready swords are used by individuals training to be swordsman or experienced swordsman. The battle ready fantasy sword has a blade that has been processed for strength and can really inflict some damage. Most come already sharpened are ready for usage.
What's Your Style?
With dozens of sword styles to choose from the next question to ask yourself is which one is right for you? Sword styles vary in blade, handle and any number of ways. Are you looking for a long blade or shorter one? Viking, Egyptian, and Wizard swords are a few of the styles you can find. You'll find intricate handles with fine detailing. Handles can be unusually shaped like a Pirate's sword or a simple stub handle. Swords can have silver, platinum or gold embossing added. You can have your name engraved on the blade or handle. Some people choose to name their sword which they have engraved right on the handle or blade. From Sherwood Forest to the Pyramids of Egypt, a fantasy sword can take you anywhere your imagination wants to go.
Price Ranges
No matter the price range you can find a fantasy sword you will treasure forever. Determine what you want to spend on your sword. For a decorative sword it may be less depending on the artistry you see in the blade. Actual working swords may cost more because of the preparation process it goes through.

Sword training in maryland?
I wish to take up a sword training class, I know their are many forms of sword arts and I think I would like to specialize in either a katana or possibly a longsword or even throwing knives. I have never used a real sword or throwing knife before yet did take a few years of tae-kwan-do. I did not like it very much as I never got anywhere near weapons and it was defensive. I would like to work with weapons in an offensive way and do not mind using training ones. I live around Bethesda Maryland and would like to know if their are any places near there which I can go to for regular training.
hesamurai is a crook. DO NOT buy from him. He is the owner of the company (or an employee) and goes around yahoo answers trying to promote their junk. At some point, they will get the idea and stop posting on here thinking it is for free advertising. Besides, he did not answer your question, did he? All he is doing is trying to get some free publicity.
I think I answered your question before, but I forgot to mention http://www.mashs.org . They are in Annapolis and I HIGHLY recommend them. The group is full of highly skilled swordsmen and there probably isn't a better place to learn from in Maryland.
Good Luck!
