So the first reason would be for self defense, and keep in mind these reasons are personal preference and don’t meant to be given in any particular order. The 2nd reason is that they look so cool, and believe me, these Battle Weapons definitely are impressive and worth showing off. Some of these weapons really spice up fireplace mantels and look terrific hung up on the wall. The 3rd reason is possibly someone you know would love to have one of these as a gift.

Swords were the primary Battle Weapon used not only by the Japanese Bushido, but by European Viking Warriors like the Romans, and even the Calvary until guns were introduced. They have a history that goes back a lot longer than guns do. Replica Swords these days are mass produced, which makes them much more affordable these days than they were say 50 years ago. You can pick up just about any Sword these days for under $100.00, although the very crafty ones can run much more.

So my point is even if you own a Replica Sword, you still own a piece of history. You can feel what the Japanese Bushido or the Viking Warriors felt when they held their weapons hundreds and thousands of years ago. You can say it’s just one of those you’ll never know what you’re missing until you try it scenarios in action. If you don’t believe me, ask any Sword Collector. sfp2007.
