Swords

What country or race does each sword come from. I know katana comes from japan. and longsword and lancet comes from europe. What about broadsword... and which sword is the best?

Re: Swords

Ok,
1) Europe is not a country nor is it a race.

2) There is no best kind of sword and NOBODY here knows what the best sword is so I don't want to hear anything about that.

Re: Swords

All im asking is where the broadsword originated and which sword do you think will win in a fight if the users had the same skills, the same talent, devotion, motivation.

That question is unanswerable.

Re: Swords

broadswords orriginated in holland, they were called claymores.

in a battle too many factors play a part to make determining tohe winner at all possible. for the first time in my life i agree with hassun

Re: Swords

that is a fav.

but in my oppinion a katana is the best simply because the japanese weaponsmiths really knew what they were doin. the katanas could slice through europian rmor like swish cheese, the only protection was the layers of leather that samurias wore.
