I've got these two for duel wielding. I got them when I worked security at a renaissance festival for a summer, and the merchant taught me how two swing both continuously.

I also got these, because I'm a wolverine head.

Oh yeah, I forgot I also inherited this crazy thing recently:

This would be my go-to sword for zombies. This is a Heavy Cavalry Officer's Dress Sword. It was commonly used by the british during the battle of waterloo, and the war of 1812. It's the longest and sharpest thing I got, but it's in storage right now. The others I keep behind my bedframe.
I believe that is either a shark skin or ray skin wrapped handle under your basket guard. Nice. They make a lot of repros so its sweet you inherited it rather than buying it from a stranger.
Common misconception... It is not a blood groove down the center of the blade. It reduces weight and enhances rigidity without increasing the chance of shearing.
Thats cool. Yeah I prefer lighter swords. I only buy sharp things if I'm comfortable with the balance, and it's lucky that the old one is balanced nicely. I guess my ancestors felt the same. :)
Its funny because I was sitting with my brother, and we were told we had the option of either having that sword or some expensive silverware, and we looked at eachother and smiled, didn't say nothing, we just knew what we both wanted.
That picture might actually be a repro, because the blade on mine is blackened or dark brown, and from a distance it looks like rust, but its tiny little engravings. I don't even know if it's possible to replicate that.
