I've always been fascinated with weapons, especially guns, knives and swords. So, guess what I tend to collect? I have a small but growing collection which is strategically placed around my living space where only myself and my wife know where to find them. Let's just say that I feel sorry for anyone who tries to break in on us. I saw my motto on a sign at the flea market today: "Warning, I DON'T call 911" and has a picture of a gun on it, pointed at the reader.
Here we see my humble collection gathered in one place for a rare photo. Five swords, two bows, a staff, four Highlander-style swords, a dual-dagger set, very mean Gil Hibben "The Raptor" knife (razor sharp), and a few assorted knives in the background along with two .22 laying in the foreground.
I don't have a picture yet of my newest member to the weaponry family: my .22 Savage. It's a really nice piece that I'm dying to fire. I guess I'm gonna have to make a quick trip to the country or pay someone to break in. (LOL just kidding)
A closer look at the swords. Yes, four of the five are
sharp enough to remove body parts with little or no trouble whatsoever.
Anyone want to spar? I'm ready to practice.
Gil Hibben blade (signed), four very sharp 220 J2 stainless steel Highlander-style
swords, Batman brass knuckles (double bladed), some pocket knives, all along
with a set of double daggers.
*sing-songs* "And a partridge in a pear tree."
Here are two of my .22's. Not a very good picture, it
just doesn't do them justice. Sometime soon I'll have to take a pic of my
newest addition, a nice little Savage. I'm really curious at how well it
fires. I'll know soon.
Gil Hibben is the -best- in fantasy knife design. This is "The
Raptor" a 1994 edition in his line of fantasy knives. This was the
base design for the knife used in "Mortal Kombat" the movie.
In a nutshell, that is the basic heart of my "collection." This is by no means the whole extent of it. There are several items that will remain secret to many. Hopefully you never have to find out what they are because it would be a rather unpleasant experience (for you). I'm always adding more, though, so sometime in the near future, more will be displayed.
