Time for a new start

[Mark-of-Scotland]

So I've decided to clear out all my bladed stuff and get rid of it all before i move house.

I'm keeping one or two which have sentimental value to me and the rest are going.

I'm replacing them all with one lovely Paul Chen blade. The Paper Crane.

What do you lot think?
Any sword aficionados round here?

Aren't you Scottish? Why get a Japanese blade when you could get a Claymore?

Because I’m 6ft with long hair, broad shoulders and epic beard and a kilt.
A claymore would make it look like I’m some sort of stereotype lol.

Also claymores lack the elegance and grace of the Japanese works

IDK man, everytime I think of a Scot with a Japanese sword I think of Highlander

Awesome movie BTW I just watched it yesterday.

Love that movie. Shame the series was so messed up. If i may paraphrase a quote from it...THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN ONLY ONE!!!!
Was yesterday your first time watching it?

The series didn't mess it up. The second Highlander movie messed with the story arc. The series was supposed to be a "prequel" to the first movie.

The most recent Highlander move kinda sucked too.

I meant the movie series.
Was there a TV series? I didn't know that

 

[Titanium_Frost]

Yeah the TV series was really good and did a lot of backstory.

Virginia Madsen is the best thing about Highlander 2. And I thought the last one, End Game was pretty good. The only one I really didn't care for was III as it didn't make sense if Highlander I and II were canonical.

From what I understand, because of the horrid "alien" story from the second movie, the consensus from most people, including the creators, was to basically ignore the second movie and move on like it never happened.

There was a movie after "Endgame" called "The Source" that really just kinda sucked. Not as bad as the second one, though.

Paul Chen makes good stuff. I have 8 cut swords by him.

I did not know that! I'll have to check it out- I love crappy movies.

Because the Katana is sexy.

 

[rockhopper46038]

I've got a katana by a bladesmith named Rick Barrett that there is a crappy photo of in my profile album. I'll try to get a nicer shot and post it for you.

 

[Hammerhead]

I know that I'd have to be skeptical about it's use, but I've always been a big fan of this sword.

Very nice. I'd like to add that one to my collection

Why would you be skeptical? It's forged with the One Power!!!!! Oh wait, not this model :[
