Medieval Swords & Replica   Looking for Cool Replica Swords?

Collecting swords is a hobby that thousands of people practice worldwide. Some do it because they are passionate about a certain period in history others because they have some sort of interest in the swords used in various movies. Some only collect swords that gain value overtime.

Below are a few guidelines to help you start your own sword collection.

1. For those new to sword collecting, the choice is up to you. You can collect sword from a particular time period or you can just collect sword you like, this is a personal choice for each collector.
2. Find the perfect place to display your swords, keep in mind that this type of collection can take a lot of room. Personally I recommend using an entire room for your collection. But again the choice is yours.
3. Find the places where you want to buy your swords… Personaly I like to buy my swords online from a reputable e-commerce store…They often have amazing prices and many also have a guarantee. Other places that can be considered are: Auction, Other Collectors, weapon show’s etc…
4. Before buying a sword try to inspect it before if you can…This is especially true if you are to buy a real antique sword. The sword will need to be inspected before spending your hard earned money.

Specials Tips:

1. Make sure your sword are hanged properly on the wall. You don’t want them to be damaged with poor hanging hooks.
2. Take your time… Sword collecting is a matter of years, finding the right one can often take time.
3. Do not clean your sword unless you are aware of the techniques.
4. Buying book on sword collecting is advised, especially if your intention is to buy real antique swords.
5. Do you research properly before buying. Some swords have licensed resellers while others are just cheap imitations…This is especially true for movie swords.

But most the most important aspect of all is: Have fun…this is meant to be something you enjoy

According to Japanese history a real ninja was a fearsome warrior trained in multiple varieties of unorthodox arts of war including martial arts. Most people think that ninja’s were mostly assassins but this is far from the truth.

Ninja were skilled assassins but they were also trained in the art of sabotage, espionage and even scouting. They were very effective at destabilizing the enemy’s troops by bringing social chaos in enemy territory.

Ninja weapons are more diversified than samurai’s, of course they were carrying katana’s (although they were slightly different) but they were also using a variety of weapons and tricks even gun powder. Here are some of the weapons used by ninja’s:

• Ninjato Katana
• Smoke bombs
• Firecracker (diversion and escape)
• Metsubushi (small bombs)
• Shuriken
• and more

According to many beliefs, the most common ninja weapon still remains the ninjato… some believe it was mostly used as a utilitarian tool rather than an actual weapon, but that remains speculation even to this day…

Ninjato were smaller than a katana but larger than a wakizashi.

Even to this day the true origin of the ninja does remain unknown and most of the knowledge we have about them including their weapons remains pure speculation.

I know I do, I used to collect samurai sword and Japanese swords only, for a long time my only preoccupation when it comes to my sword collection was to find high quality battle-ready samurai swords, from time to time I would add a Japanese war sword to my collection but that’s it…My whole collection was entirely based on Japanese weapons..

Now i have decided to change that, my new goal is to develop a side collection based Replica Movie Swords & Props.

Click the link above to find out how did i came to change my mind about it.

You probably know someone that loves everything related to the medieval world. There are even stores specialized in medieval apparels, whether it is jewelry, clothing and even swords, axes and other weapon you can find everything you need nowdays. There are even people that are practicing reenacting which is a hobby that consist in re-creating the appearance of a particular battle that happened during histroy. And like me there are the Swords collector, people that just love the varoous types  of swords that were crafted by various people during history.

For my part, although i like everything that is medieval, i am mostly interested in everything that is related to samurai. This is according to my own opinion the most beautiful swords ever made. The technique behind the creation of the ancient samurai got somewhat lost in the ages, but there are still swordsmith that are able to forge high quality and even functionnal and battle-ready samurai swords.

One such swordsmith his Paul Chen, he is known for creating amazing swords at various prices. If you are lookinf for a cutting sword then you can find one of great quality at various prices.

Paul Chen speciality is samurai and japanese war swords, but he also from time to time create amazing medieval swords, rapiers, viking swords and the like. Most of his swords are for cutting exercises but there is also a great deal of them that are created for people practicing reenactment and Iaido .

If you love samurai swords, medieval sword or any other type of sword, there are some great places to get a very good deal on amazing swords, just make sure you buy quality. With Paul Chen you can’t be wrong.

There is a small but avid market for medieval Jewellery; most of the people looking for this type of merchandise are hardcore medieval fan, and then also often collect medieval costume but mostly medieval swords and weapons.

The type of jewellery we are talking about here include:

• Necklace
• Bracelet
• Anklet
• Hair Stick
• rings
• and even movie props

The movie props movie is an even bigger market than the medieval jewellery market. For example you can get your hands on the lord of the ring jewellery for most the main characters. While it may be of no interest to some, for many this is a dream come true, they can buy items from a movie they really liked, like the necklace of Arwen or the ring from Aragorn and even the One Ring.

All of these items are great looking for a medieval and movie fan. But like i said most are fully involved in their medieval passion and merchant knows it pretty well. This is why most of the online store where you will find Celtic jewellery or even roman and medieval jewellery, you will also find medieval sword, fantasy swords and even movie swords. Some of them even carry costumes in inventory so that any medieval fan out there can find what they are looking for in one place.
