Swords
My friends made the mistake of buying me a samurai sword for my 20th in October, that started a rather unhealthy obsession.

I’d always liked swords, but never knew were to get any, not unlike girls. Finally bothering to Google it, I started looking for some swords to buy, eBay was an obvious choice, but the swords I got weren’t of great quality, so I found a better website to buy from, which doesn’t disappoint.

My most expensive blade is a rapier that cost £55, its blunt and just a replica but the quality is good.

My most recent purchase was a 2 handed sharpened war sword. Its size is impressive, the blade alone is about 40”, with another 10” for the handle and pommel. I also got a pair of daggers with it, that I keep on my belt when in the house. Makes me fell like a big man.

Owning swords leads to damage, its inevitable, even if the swords I own aren’t actual weapons, they still are pretty dangerous. And being a student, I tend to act the fool. My friend threw a shoe at me, while I was holding my samurai sword, which I managed to chop out of the air, leaving a very small cut along the bit that covers the toes, luckily the owner didn’t notice. Later that day, my friend threw a potato at me, which wasn’t so easy to get out of the air, and really hurt when it hit. I started to get frustrated and swung very hard, and success! The potato was cut in two, unfortunately, the blade had hit the ceiling, leaving a huge gash along our rented property, which may come back to haunt us!
