Favorite Sword?

[toanuju22]

I've been meaning to make this thread for a while, generally asking which Sword do you prefer most. The sword does not have to be from POTCO, as the only sword available there is the Cutlass. So go ahead, pick your favorite sword.

Out of all of these, my favorite is the Sabre, Second Favorite, the Scimitar, and Third, the Hanger.

#1 Sabre
A common Mediterranean sword, used by the French, Spanish, and Ottoman empire's navy and military, and well as the Barbary Corsairs.
The Sword is great for Slashing, and Cleaving.

#2 Dao [IMG]http://images2.*****.nocookie.net/pirates/images/4/49/Dao.jpg[/IMG]
The Chinese adaptation of the Sabre, great for Slashing and Chopping (Flourish).
This sword was used by Sao Feng in POTCO 3.

#3 Cutlass
A very common sword found on most all Naval/Pirate ships, mainly due to it's short length and strength.

#4 Jian [IMG]http://images1.*****.nocookie.net/pirates/images/5/5a/Jian.jpg[/IMG]
A shorter 2500 year old Chinese sword that is mainly used for thrusting.
Used by Elizabeth Swan in POTC 3.

#5 Broadsword
A sword commonly used in North/Western Europe for Military and Naval use.
This is also the sword that Barbossa uses.

#6 Hanger [IMG]http://images3.*****.nocookie.net/pirates/images/b/be/Hanger.jpg[/IMG]
Similar to the Cutlass, but a few inches longer, and a slightly stronger blade.
This is the sword that was used by Captain Jack Sparrow.

#7 Rapier
Originating from Europe, it was commonly used for thrusting, it has a slightly thinner blade than the Broadsword.

#8 Longsword
A very long sword that was used by German, Swiss, Italian, and Spanish Militarys and warriors. I was commonly used for Thrusting.

#9 Scimitar
A sword originating from the Middle east, used bythe Ottoman Empire, Barbary Corsairs, Mongols and by warriors in the Khorasan area. It has similar uses to the Sabre. This sword was used by the Barbary Corsair crew member of the Black Pearl Leech.

#10 Katana A Japneese sword, commonly used by the Samurai Warriors, and possibly by the Wokou Pirates.

I voted on the front page before I saw the pics(I voted longsword)but now I'm going to say either that or rapier.(Triva:The Gurrilla Union of Shrews in Mossflower from the Redwall books carry rapiers)

I would love to have a variety of swords, even if they all did the same damage. Just nice to personalize.

[The Skirata Clan]

None of these are in game. So... I pick Lightsabers in any modality.

I said sword, not a 18,000C blade of plasma.
The point of the other option is for voting for something like the Epee which I was to tired to add.

This Poll isn't asking which you would prefer in game, just which sword you personally like best.

I was under the impression that the Polls were meant to be for POTCO/POF stuff.

And a sword its a sword. A Lightsaber its a space sword. The other option is for all others picked at the discretion of the voter.

[Kraken Guard]

[Bladehawk]

Like a lot of geeks, I had a knock-off Katana and practiced with a bokken as well.

But, I like also Chinese swords. If you watch Star Wars 2-3, Obi Wan uses several Chinese style moves, which is a nice change.

[Captain Whale]

LOL - I still have my old wooden Bokken in the basement somewhere with all the other swords I have collected over the years. P)

I be liking the curved blades like the Scimitar and Sabre.

#4 Jain, it's 2010, it couldn't of een made 2500 years ago, thats impossle!!

[Sven Osymthe]

It is possible for something to be made 2500 years ago, that would make it B.C.

[Dockwrecker The Privateer]

Thats true Sven,Its 2010 A.D. (A.D. stands for Anno Domami or similer,means 'in the year of our Lord'.That time started in near the middle of the Roman Empire age,based in Middle East but used first in Europe)Time basis are gereraly different for different cutures,Europe ,North America and many others use A.D.At this point in history few use it as religious meaning anymore.

[James Bladefury]

I am fond of the hanger
