I like to think weapons and armour collections are a fairly robotic hobby. So why not have a thread about it?
Post your gear!
Sword, Axe, Spear, Polearm and Knife Collections

One sec dude, let me get on my phone. God it's been forever since someone posted about sword and other collections. It's my only real hobby
David Sullivan
Mine too, between HEMA and backyard practice with my bro, swordplay is one of my true joys in life.
Gabriel White
Pic related. I have got a windlass arming sword in the brown cloth and a Shinwa katana in the black bag
Oliver Thomas
I wish I had HEMA over here in the South.
Thomas Harris
I'll be dumping random weapons from my collection: starting with my first ever Gladius. EN45 carbon steel, I dropped this accidentally from 2 flights onto concrete and not even a scratch. It's a tough bitch with strong stabbing power.
Jaxson Bailey
Do you have a better pic of the arming sword? I've heard good things about Windlass, however Devil's Edge is kickass bang for buck: pic related!
James Thomas
South where? US? I'm based in Dublin, really surprised when I found out we have it here.
Logan Perez
Yeah, southern US.
fuck the captchas btw
Alexander Walker
I would have thought that the HEMA scene is big in the US?
Elijah Ortiz
I'm lazy so here's the stock picture
Jackson Morris
I guess it is. huh. There's an ARMA sector around Birmingham, Alabama.
Kevin Powell
Stock picture is fine man, I know the pain in the ass of setting them up, getting the pictures in order and all that jazz. I hope in this life that one day I could afford pic related. Albion swords are truly works of art!
Camden Gutierrez
Do join a group, you won't regret it! You can socialize and practice with like minded individuals who share our autismal hobby.
Asher Peterson
This knife is one of my recents:
Dominic Ramirez
Here's the katana I own that's in the black bag.
Zachary Diaz
Yea I wish I could own an Albion someday.
James Ramirez
Also check these digits
Michael Howard
I love all these collections anons.
I've been wanting to start a weapon collection since I was a teenager, but I've never had the money for it. I have a plastic practice long sword and katana
Same here robro, it's hard to find anything like this in the south
Isaac Gomez
Go to the hema website and see if there's a club around your area, that's what I just did.
Carson Ward
Man that's cheap! From my original pic here is my katana:

Once you start getting a taste for steel you can't stop. Like I said before, Devil's Edge on the Kult make fantastic swords for low prices: kultofathena.com
Carson Diaz
That seems expensive, but I guess since its traditionally made and a Huanwei. My katana has great quality though, my shirasaya not so much because Ive banged it up a good bit, the blade is good and tends to bend a whole lot on the shirasaya but at least it doesnt break outright, so I know its tempered well. The shirasaya is Damascus while the katana is high carbon. It feels like the high carbon stronger.
Nathaniel Young
I like collecting old guns, if that counts. I don't have any swords/polearms yet unfortunately, but I'm planning on getting one soon. Any brands you guys recommend? Any I should absolutely avoid?
Elijah Morgan
Overweight KHHV coming in, got a katana and a machete.
Hudson Williams

It is just a model without firing pin or anything, mr glowstein batferberg
Jace Hernandez
>into medieval weapons and armor
Why is this such an incel trait?
Jeremiah Rogers
>got a katana
of course you do
Nathan Howard
swords are great, I got the cheapest functional longsword I could find and I'm having a blast learning how to use it. Pluse I'm getting fit from constant practice and my self-esteem is getting better
Gavin Clark
windlass steelcraft for cool historical replicas, coldsteel for more quality, hanwei is good too but is very specialized in katanas
