Movie Swords

Remove all ads!

I stumbled upon this site yesterday, a place where you can order exact duplicates of famous movieswords, and i kinda got interrested in buying one. I haven't made up my mind yet though, the katana from Blade is cool, but i also like Aragorn's sword. Heck...i even think the Uruk-Hai scimitar is cool, brutal yet simple.

I only have one question...how on earth will something like this come through customs ?

Sword are cool, though I don't know why people want Fantasy sword, they're pale comparasion of real weaponry.

I'd much like a Roman Glavius Meself.

 

My guess would be: in a box.

I personally prefer my wooden practice sword. It's made of heavy duty wood, so it's as weighty and durable as the real thing, but I don't have to polish it.

 

How do swords get through customs? The sword gets locked into its scabbard (peace bonded) or traveling case and either taken on as a carry-on item or sent via cargo with the rest of the luggage.

 

Yeah, i would prefer getting a custom made one...

I was going to get a steel katana from a guy my dad knows, but I didn't have 900 dollars on me...

So cool, though.

 

nm the sword, get a replica of the shield that Brad-as-Achilles used in Troy. That's awesome. I myself have a replica helm that the Anglo-Saxon warriors had. Looks kinda like Dr. Doom's mask.

 

I want the Iron Man Mask.

A (distant) cousin of mine makes swords -- and really big knives (he made the Rambo knife). I can't afford any of them.

But I do have a sword. It looks like this. It was the same type as used in many movies including Officer and a Gentleman.

 

Morthoseth - Sword of Shadows

Luciendar - Sword of LightThose 2 are the coolest. Bit pricey for something you're not goign to use though!!

 

Cool looking blades. Too bad I can't afford one

 

Frosty has Luciendar. It's cool. Has made a few holes in things though.

I like Browsing SwordsOnline.com has movie swords and stuff as well.

I've had no problem with swords coming through customs either. Only the customs charge which can be more than the P&P in the first place!

 

NOW we're getting in to the subject i like!
Personally, i have no swords, but i'm a bladed weapons-Geek.
If i would ever get to choose some sword for myself, it would be Zweihänder, the biggest two-handed sword ever made. Length is up to 6 feet, quite big in my opinion. And still, the weight is only 5.5 - 11 pounds.
There's just something in it that i like, dunno what.
Here's a replica of Zweihänder, or Doppelhänder:

How about this then?

I'd like to get a Scimitar for Christmas ^_^ Been trying to expand my collection for ages!

 

Or this little one ?

 

I'm surprised no one's mentioned a lightsabre yet. Yellow is my color of choice.

 

@ 8people: I doubt (actully i know) thats not real Masamune. Since only swords made by Masamune (real name Goro Nyodo) can be called masamunes, IIRC. And he lived in 1300, so...
But, anyway, that's great quality katana.

 

Where's Conans sword?

 

In the governor's office.

 

Why no shop sell my favourite weapon of all time The Hallbard An Hallberd is so powerful and long and sharp and.... OhhhHHhh!


edit; Check out that Hallberd! It's so awsome! Awsome Halberd! Can you possibly have a better weapon?!

Thanks for the link, Ofelix. I found a picture close enough to my sword on the same site, though the crossguard on mine is just slightly downward-curved while the one in the picture is upward-curved.
That practice katana looks pretty sweet; maybe I should get one of those too...

 

Well, Felinoid, if you like practise swords, what about this?

That is perhaps best bokken i've seen so far. and most durable too, being polypropylene plastic. i just feel that wooden ones are too fragile...
