Well, I agree with you that people should try to diversify their sword collections, but the point I was trying to make was that you don't buy ancient artifacts for a purely practical collection. There are probably some super rich archeology or ancient weapons enthusiasts that own those kinds of swords, but they are show pieces, not things you can use. This guy (or girl) just has practical, useable weaponry.

Dude, you realize he (or she) is only collecting useable stuff, right? Handguns, assault and sniper rifles, tactical hatchets, a machete, hunting knives, kunai knives, a daisho set plus tanto, etc. Ulfberhts are ancient Norwegian swords, made c. 800-1000 AD, of which very few survive to this day (and none of which are useable!) They are ultra-rare museum pieces of incredible historical value, not something that belongs in a practical collection! The only useable authentic Ulfberht in existence was forged for a NOVA documentary, and is the private property of its creator... It's the same deal for zweihanders (German longswords, made and used c. 1500-1570 AD): few have survived, and those that have are extremely valuable and belong in museums!

Awesome! I'm Crazed Warrior the Master of Time! What are the chances!?
Anyway, I'll be the Master to your Doctor....
