Which ones of you own a Sword? 2

It might be a very oldfashioned concept, but I feel every man of honor should own a sword, oir at least have a weapon of choice for defense of his homestead.
My weapon of choice is a symbolic one, a real Japanese Wakizashi short sword made by Hanwei Forge. I don't intend to defend my home with it but I bloody well will if I have to.
Its about 2 foot long, a pound and a half in weight (weighs as much as a 1" steel pipe its length) and I keep it well oiled and razor sharp.
I chose the wakizashi because its truly me, I feel.

My spiritual weapon of choice, my Athame, is a Nowill & Sons Fairbairn-Sykes Fighting Knife. The knife designed to kill Nazis in close quarters combat inj World War 2, the only knife that has a NATO Catalog Number, still in use with special forces, a knife literally deigned to drive through the heart of the Satan of its time. Of course it for me only serves a symbolic purpose, on my altar.

Post your sword, or weapon of choice, even if you do not yet own one but truly want one.

Now that I know what you look like OP, I totally cannot imagine you with one of these swords in your hands.

I'm totally made for a Wakizashi and a Wakizashi is made for me.
Don't mistake my kindness for weakness, I will absolutely take a stand and fight to the death if put on the spot. Don't you think I'd defend my nephew? To the hilt man, into one side, out the other.
Owning and maintaining a sword is a matter of honor since ancient times.
Honor man. Honor.
The way of the Warrior, not the aggressor but the Defender.
If I lived in the Congo or the US, my weapon of choice would be the AK47.

You'd be surprised.
You, me, we are EVERYBODY. We have the potential to be every person if need brings it out in us.
If put on the spot, are you willing to go to the utmost extreme?
Because you can.
You can be ANYONE, this time around.
Thats includes a true Hero.
No one can stop the one more passionate than them 
RIDE THE GOOD VIBES!

Its not very selective though. Letting everything in a hundred mile radius catch fire spontaneously isnt exactly a precision weapon for getting your mark though.
The Barrett 50 caliber sniper rifle is however, completely turns someone inside out at a thousand yards:

If your target is an entire city, it's one of the most accurate weapons ever used. Has a 100% accuracy record in non training scenarios.

That's really pretty. Do you use it often? I'm a huge fan of swords. I don't have anything like that. I have several though. One I made myself that is pretty handy.

I liked edged weapons, and have a small collection of them, but not anything really cool, just EDC knives.
As far as which ones I want, well that could be hard to pin point because there are so many. I really want to start a collection of WWI & WWII bayonets, that would be cool.
Hitlerjugend or Schutzstaffel knives would be nice, or perhaps something from the Empire of Japan.

No, although I have practised with it, it's just an ornament really. Plus it would come in handy in an emergency.

Hanwei Forge, a great choice my fellow man-at-arms.
I chose the Practical Plus Wakizashi but budget permitting I might update to the Wind And Thunder Waki.
Which do you have?
