Mine are too.yet my naval sabres are much easier to wield. Still no match for the feel of a good full Katana.

quite a lot.mainly military ( I collect lots of militaria )
Some naval sabres ( or cutlasses to you pirate types ). I have 2 cavalry officer's swords from the Boer war ( one my great-grandfather's )
Some nice Dirks, a Borneo Dyak ( headhunter's sword complete with human hair ) and around 25 various Katana, Wakizashi and tantos. a couple of Bos and a naginata. More blades than that but thats most of the sword types.

Using motication for violence is vulgar.A gentleman enjoys it for its own sake, and never employs more than a scalpel.
