Handmade swords are naturally special swords that have been produced after long hours of hard labor and dedicated craftsmanship. All the details in handmade swords are very complex, generally, and it will take superior craftsmanship to execute the design to perfection. Each handmade sword takes days of focused labor to be produced, sometimes days, sometimes even weeks or months. Depending on the complexity of the design and the capability of the sword maker, one handmade sword can be produced by tens or by hundreds, but the really complex ones will probably be produced in a very limited mode.  That is why, handmade swords are generally more expensive than its factory-made counterparts. The Handmade Samurai Katana – Black – 40.5 Inches is a good example of a quality handmade sword that bears a complicated design. While it may be just a replica, it is very authentic-looking and the proportions are of such accuracy that the whole thing really looks like a real katana sword. The katana is probably one of the most widely recognized swords in the world. It has a blunt end and it is most famous for being seen on the widescreen in many action movies such as Kill Bill. Most Japanese action films will make use of the katana, and even some hara kiri scenes are done with a katana. The katana cuts in one clean, swift stroke and therefore it is a very nice tool to collect. And next to a real katana, there are replica swords like the Handmade Samurai Katana – Black – 40.5 Inches that are so much alike their real counterparts.

Spears and swords may be thought of as very traditional weapons, and as such, may not be a match to more modern weapons such as guns and other explosive devices. This may be generally true, but not if the spear in question is the Cold Samburu Spear. This very special sword may not be one of the more famous fantasy swords but it has its own unique abilities that cannot be matched by any other weapon. Its origin is the fearsome Kenyan Samburu Tribe, and it is acknowledged all over the world as one of the deadliest spears known to men. After all, this particular tribe from which the Cold Samburu Spears originates is very much feared, and very few people dare walk the grounds of this tribe in Kenya. The same fear is inspired by the Cold Samburu Spear. No wonder it is touted as the spear that can kill more efficiently than gun. Perhaps it is the amazing speed at which the spear can be thrown and wielded that makes it so deadly, or perhaps it is the accuracy of its hit that makes it a truly fearsome and respected weapon. The Cold Samburu Spear weighs less than a kilo at two pounds, and it is not very lengthy either. It only stands at a height or length of seven inches. Yet these features are enough for this might spear to be the best and the most deadly of all. It is never the size that mattered, anyway, it is the accuracy of the delivery of output expected, and the Cold Samburu Spear certainly brings it on.

In the past, say three to four decades ago, play was defined as a time spent among peers and friends, making use of available tools that are found in their immediate vicinity. They may play hide and seek around the house or in the park, or play tag in the playground, or some Frisbee or hopscotch, depending on the weather and on the preference of players. Two decades ago, the advent of technology-based games came and the youth has forgotten these street-based games. The usual playtime is now composed of a session with Mario and his brothers at the family computer, or of an hour or two playing a Gameboy or a Game And Watch.

Heavy Metal FAKK is a film that revolves around a strong and brave woman named Julie. The Heavy Metal FAKK Sword is Julie’s weapon of choice, which she uses to avenge her family who died in a mysterious series of events that led to their murder.

While the story itself is mere fiction and the weapons used are simple props, the story as well as the weapon strike a true chord that honors the centuries of dedicated work from blacksmiths and goldsmiths to finally come up with the ultimate in weapons, especially among swords.

While the items being sold online are mere fantasy swords, fanatics still care to include the item in their usually vast collection of unique items honoring or echoing the book or movie, especially the story itself.

The Heavy Metal FAKK Sword is about 22 and 3/16^th inches long, with about 18 inches of this length comprising the blade. The blade itself is handcrafted stainless steel. The back of the blade bears unusual cutouts with a deep blood grove while the front edge is serrated. All in all, it is an awesome sword! The power and strength of this sword is unusual for a woman’s weapon, particularly someone as delicate as Julie. In fact, the movie plays on this angle which provides some comedic relief to the heavy drama undertones of the story.

It exemplifies the perennial tale about how the woman is physically weak but gifted with strong resolve. All women fans should add this item to their collection.

Apart from the usual swords, Dungeon Knight also has a precious collection of other ancient fantasy weapons. One of these is the Cold Steel Samburu Spear, which is considered as one of the most powerful spears in the world. Its fierce reputation transcends all continents and has immortalized the Kenyan Samburu Tribe as one to be feared. As such, through ancient legends teaching men to fear the Samburu tribe, few men and armies dare to venture into the Northern end of Kenya.

Fantasy swords may be no match for the Cold Steel Samburu Spear. It is a powerful weapon crafted through the wisdom of the Samburu tribe through the most rudimentary crafting tools. The current fantasy weapon, however, is much more easily manufactured using modern technology based on the plans drawn by talented designers.

The most amazing feature of the original Cold Steel Samburu Spear is its ability to travel fast and hit the mark accurately despite the manual construction. This has made it among the deadliest weapons of its kind. A single hit will undoubtedly result in a quick yet painful death. No other weapon in those days could have pierced through a warrior’s flesh as cleanly and efficiently as this spear. It is even said to be faster at killing than a speeding bullet.

At just under seven feet and a weight of two pounds, the Samburu spear replica also has a short blade attached to a very slender shaft. While it may not be as powerful as the original thing, this replica can also be dangerous.

Young men and women invest money to buy swords which look authentic but are safe enough for fantasy play. One such sword is the Cold Steel 1796 Light Cavalry Saber Sword. This sword originates from Britain back in 1796. It has drawn attention from around the globe and has been among the staple collectible weapons for some time now.

The Szabla from Hungarian origins and the Tulwar from India are the bases for the design of the Cold Steel 1796 Light Cavalry Saber Sword. The culture of all three nations intersect in the eighteenth century; hence, the similarities in their weapons of choice.

It was the British Infantry that first utilized this hybrid of the szabla and tulwar. With the sword’s success, British soldiers introduced the new weapon to their Hanover allies then to the Prussian Bluchers. Ironically, the sword is more strongly associated with the Blucher of the Prussians rather than the British army. Years after, the United States Army recognized the effectiveness of its design and adapted it for their own men.

With its rich origins and history, the Cold Steel 1796 Light Cavalry Saber Sword has become one of the most irresistible collectors’ items in the swords category.
