Globber Dec 10, 2002, 06:14 PM #2 is an artillery sword?
#4 is world-famous gurkha knife,
#7 is a short wakizashi, kinda like a letter opener ;)
#8 and 9 are chinese polearms circa maybe the Qing dynasty?

2: close enough, grenadier's sword.
4, 7, 8 and 9: and they are called?
Globber Dec 10, 2002, 06:57 PM #4 is the khukuri
#7 is a tanto, rather
for 8 and 9 the pic i found has a caption of "ban yue dao", which, roughly translated means "half moon knife", so something in that vein?
Edit: that's crescent moon knife, god my chinese is rusty
animepornstar Dec 10, 2002, 07:22 PM 4: correct
7: o tanto actually
8 and 9: dao is right, but what kinds of dao?
naervod Dec 10, 2002, 08:04 PM 1. Is that a katana?
animepornstar Dec 10, 2002, 08:10 PM it's not a katana
Knight-Dragon Dec 10, 2002, 09:39 PM 1) Looks like a Chinese sword. I think they call it 'da dao' or something.
3) A Sikh ceremonial dagger? Just a wild guess...
8) and 9) look like something Guan Yu would use. :D
10) looks like a Saracen sword.... A scimitar?
