The sword is probably the most popular weapon during the age of the Feudal Warlords. Samurai swords were deadly weapons wielded only by the most skilled of warriors. The sharp-edged sword could chop off a man’s head in a single graceful stroke. Of course, there were other types of swords to match the variety of warriors that were trained at that time. Each person had a specific function and, therefore, had a specific weapon.
Parallel to the Asian regime, swords also reigned supreme in Europe, where the Roman legion utilized swords of different styles to build an impenetrable defense against any conqueror. Most well known were the pointed and heavy javelin for long-range attacks, and the gladius or short swords used for stabbing at close range. The warriors who used them are well trained and highly skilled in neutralizing threats to the Great Roman Empire.
The battles were lurid as the soldiers basically hacked and slashed at whatever enemy blocked their path. These gruesome scenes are relived in the imagination of people who engage in costume play, using fantasy swords to aid their imagination. Perhaps the excitement is what engages these young adults to invest in costumes and equipment just to play games. Proof of cosplay popularity is the availability of rare items like the Cold Steel Two Handed Greatsword online. Almost anything and everything a player would need may now be ordered online. The viability of the enterprise is clearly a result of a wide market for these fantasy swords.

The barometer for handmade swords has risen over the past years. As the demand and variety of merchandise increased, demand for higher quality has now become more intense. As such, replica designers ensure that swords meet a very high criteria before being released into the market.
It is under this market environment that the Handmade Samurai Katana – Black – 40.5 Inches has been created. It is an actual lancinating sword that can do as much damage as the real deal being swung by the ancient ninjas. The katana will surely add much value and authenticity to any collection.
Even in the manufacture of replicas, high carbon steel has been used. It has been hammered very carefully and thinly to develop the sharpness of the blade while establishing its firmness to a level that would pass for an actual Japanese made sword.
The Katana is a traditional weapon used in Japan during the reign of the warlords and clan leaders. It has been the weapon of choice for many centuries and has probably killed millions of people, whether during an actual fight or to effect hara kiri, which is the term used to describe a suicide performed to preserve one’s honor.
Immersing oneself in Japanese tradition and history will only reveal the constant presence of the Katana as well as its many other gruesome as well as helpful uses. These samurais are not considered mere swords or weapons but an actual extension of the person holding it. This perhaps explains why it is often considered as a measure of the person’s worth as both warriors and persons.

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.

Fantasy swords are very much in demand nowadays. The growing hype about animated movies has built up a sub-market for the new fantasy culture. 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. In fact, the limited supply and incredible demand have contributed to the increase in its already high sale price. This definitely makes it an excellent investment.
