Edged Weapons of WWII

[afc7883]

I have always had an interest in Edged Weapons, but they are generally too expensive for my meager budget. I recently sold a few of my collectables in order to buy this WWII Japanese Navy Officer's Samurai sword and I wanted to share a photograph of it with you. I had never owned one before now and I was suprised by how heavy they actually are. There is a reason why the handle is long enough for both hands!
