My Collection of Blades (swords, knives, daggers, etc.)

I’m a big admirer of ancient hand weapons. I appreciate the beauty and the work involved in their forging and how much culture and history is behind the work. I also love fighting with them, just something so primal and honorable facing your foe on equal ground. It takes true skill to wield a blade effectively in combat, it also hurts like fuck when you get cut. Half the time the blades are so sharp, you don’t even know you’re cut until you see the blood.

The B.M.F. (Big Muther F . . . you can guess the last word). As depicted in the photos below; it can be an effective baton, two-piece baton/sheath and blade and a combined shortsword.

No sci-fi geek collection would not be complete without a couple of authentic official Star Wars lightsabers by Master FX. I have the red Darth Vader and the blue Anakin Skywalker lightsabers.

And last but not least is my coveted official Wakizashi by master swordmaker extraordinaire Paul Chen. This was an awesome birthday gift from my girlfriend.

Got to fall for a guy that has more swords then ME!!!??? lol! lovely collection. At first meeting, walking into Leo’s place makes you somewhat glad you’ve told friends where you are, not in an unhygenic way …despite the slight mongolian background LOL! - hes a total neat freak WITH taste, He offers beautiful tea’s, a lot of Asian family history and it’s shown with class BUT the weapons standout everywhere you look. From wall display and photo’s of Leo wielding em in funny costumes from DC5 work - even these don’t distract from the shiny pieces of metal all tastefully mounted and predominant in this house of Leo!

yes, my boy is a total Sci Fi Geek…

It was the lightsabers that won your heart. Admit it, you loved them so much you just had to get your own. You, my dear, are a fem-geek.
