Alonso’s Battles

The Samurai 3000 collection is extremely popular among all those that love martial arts and swords. It is basically about how the Samurai fighter will once again have a purpose and make a comeback in the future. The Samurais of the movie, however, were trained and had superior fighting skills for both technological and standard weapons. The katana and other swords seen in Samurai 3000 are really plasmium weapons and it is top secret what that really is. That does not mean that they are not great swords, though. All of the Samurai 3000 bladed weapons are true to detail replicas, but also look like real swords used by samurai and ninjas.

Although all of the swords from Samurai 3000 look real, they are only replicas of those seen in the movie and therefore not to be used as a weapon. They are not battle ready and not meant to withstand all that happens during a practice session, a competition or a demonstration. Using these swords for something other than just displaying will most likely result in them breaking quickly and that would be a shame.

There are five main swords that were used by the elite Samurai 3000. More specifically, they are the samurai 3000 Tanto, the samurai 3000 Ninja Sword and the samurai 3000 Katana, the two other swords available are the same as the last two but with black blades. Each has their own unique look and especially the details seen on the handle are wonderful. All are made by United Cutlery and so you can expect only flawless pieces that are perfect for collecting and putting on display. The blades are all made of stainless steel and the handles are finished in brush metal. All of these Samurai 3000 swords from United Cutlery are officially licensed which means that they are the real replicas and have the highest chances of being worth something in the future.

A collection can be made of all the swords, or fans of the movie can own the one from the character they liked most. Of course since Samurai 3000 is a movie, those that collect items or props from movies can also add any or all of these to their collection.

If you are speaking of Chinese swords, then you are referring to a wide range and variety of swords. This is not just because China is a large country, but also because it has a long history and many different groups have developed their own kinds of swords and throughout history these have changed dramatically. There are also different kinds of Chinese swords that have their origins in the various martial arts disciplines that have been practiced for a long time throughout the country.

Each of the Chinese Dynasties had their own styles of swords and also used different claying methods for the blades. The swords forged today, however, are usually very high quality pieces and if you want to be sure of getting a good weapon it is best to stick with the well known brands with good reputations, such as Hanwei from Paul Chen or Cold Steel. Regardless of whether you intend on using the sword or not, the well made Chinese swords are worth the money because they will look authentic, have better, non rusting decorations, well wrapped handles and true to form hand guards and pommels.

Since there are so many kinds of swords that have come from China, you can collect them all and put them on display or build a collection based on a certain dynasty or type of sword. Some of the most common Chinese swords include butterfly swords which are dual swords, war swords that are similar to sabers or broadswords and katana for martial artists. There are also many unusual kinds of Chinese swords that will make great eye-catching pieces for any collection or even great weapons to practice with to learn something new. Such weapons include the hook sword, the nandao which is a larger and heavier version of the butterfly swords and jian which is a very long sword with a double edged blade.

For those that want a particular Chinese sword there are also many replicas of historical weapons that can be purchased. In order to get an idea of what is available it is highly recommended to go to a few websites and look specifically for Chinese swords. This way you can compare and see all the types of Chinese swords that are being made.

Swords have played a role in many movies and so there are also many to collect. Movie swords are copies of weapons that have been seen in movies and are exact reproductions of the props that were used.  There are many possibilities for collectors. You can collect only from one movie, one genre or all kinds of movie swords that are available. If one piece catches your eye, you can also have a single sword put on display in your home. Some movie swords, though, are made by manufacturers that still forge battle ready weapons and so you can even find something to practice with or use for reenactments.

Going to specialized sword and knife websites is a good way to start when looking for movie swords. This is because they will have a complete list of what is available and so you will find what you are looking for right away and maybe even find a sword or two that you didn’t even realize existed. Factory X and United Cutlery are two brands to look for if you want quality and assurance that you are getting the best.

Some movies have enough swords in them to be a collection of their own, such as Lord of the rings, but many others have main characters with a special sword and so they can complete a collection of items from that particular movie. These would include movies such as the Last Samurai, Blade, Kill Bill, Troy, Eragon and Gladiator. All of these swords need to be put on display where they can be seen since the details are true to the originals and decorative.

Movie swords also fall into several categories of swords and can be added to those collections also. For example, the Pirates of the Caribbean have swords for cutlass and saber collections, whereas Samurai 3000 has katana. There are also many kinds of fantasy swords, such as from Lord of the Rings or Star Wars, which can enhance any fantasy collection.

In some cases movie swords are based on real swords and therefore also are made as such. These battle ready swords, such as the one from Braveheart or Kill Bill, can also be used for battle reenactments or demonstrations since they can withstand impact of other weapons and can cut through many objects, just as a real sword would be able to .

Anyone who is interested in the Middle Ages or is fascinated by weapons should look into the many kinds of medieval weapons.  The sheer diversity of these weapons makes them interesting and also perfect for collectors who want a diverse and eye-catching assortment to put on display.

Collectors of medieval weapons have a lot to choose from. Not only are there different styles of a particular type of weapon, but also many types of weapons. There are swords, daggers, spears, polearms, bows, crossbows and blunt weapons such as flails, maces or war hammers. Swords are probably the single largest category of medieval weapons and it includes many kinds of swords, like the katana, cutlass, flamberge, rapier, saber, long sword and shorts word. These are also the easiest weapons to find replicas or new models of, but rounding off a collection with the other kinds of weapons makes a great display and can make any room being used feel like one from the Middle Ages.

Medieval weapons are not just for collectors, though. The weapons can be used to this day in various sports, such as archery, martial arts or hunting. Swords are often used in various disciplines of martial arts and a good example of this is the katana. Even today katanas are being forged and yet they originated during the medieval times. The rapier or foil is another medieval weapon being used today in sports such as fencing. For archery and hunting you can look into medieval weapons such as the long bow, crossbow or short bow. There are many manufacturers that make weapons that have a medieval appearance to them and yet which are fully functional.

Regardless of whether you use or collect medieval weapons, there are some things to keep in mind. For one, you need to take precautions if you are going to keep these weapons on display or in a home where young children or teenagers are. Since these weapons are heavy and in many cases battle ready, meaning sharp, they present a danger. Therefore they must also be safely displayed either in glass showcases or hung up on wall mounts where they are out of reach to those that should not have access. You also need to keep in mind that it takes practice to use medieval weapons and before taking part in reenactments or demonstrations with battle ready weapons, you should know what you are doing.

The Rambo movie series are classics and even though they are not new, they still maintain a great deal of their popularity. Of course there are certain elements of the movies which catch people’s attentions and among those are the Rambo survival knives. In each movie Rambo has a knife that is always with him and which he often uses in order to survive through the movie. These movies are also the reason that survival knives now are generally just referred to as Rambo knives.

Survival knives were a new form of the standard combat knife and they were first seen and made popular in First Blood, which was the first movie. Each of the following sequels, Rambo II, Rambo III and John Rambo, also had their own unique survival knives which were used by the main character. These have been replicated and the ones worth purchasing will always meet certain requirements. All collectors, regardless of whether into general items or fans of Rambo, should be aware of these.

A collectible Rambo knife should have original licensing and come with a certificate of authenticity. In order to keep it safe it should be on a plaque and put up on display or in a glass casing. It should also be made of materials that are of higher quality so that it does not easily get scratched or broken. The best Rambo knives for collectors would be limited and special editions since they are rarer and have a higher chance of being worth more money one day. Having the complete collection makes it even more valuable.

Here are some of the Limited edition Rambo Knives available on the market:

There is the Original Rambo Knife signature edition. This particular item is limited to 5000 pieces worldwide and comes with a certificate of authenticity. these are made by United Cutlery and no other, be carefull.

The Rambo II signature edition knife. Based on the props used in the second movie, this is an exact replica that includes a certificate of authenticity by Master Cutlery.

The Rambo III knife 20th anniversary edition is the limited edition of the props seen in the third movie of the serie. There is also the Rambo III signature edition kinfe availalbe as a limited edition collectible.

And Finally the Latest addition to the Rambo Knives collection, the Rambo 4 knife signature edition. This item is a limited edition collectible, include a certificate of authenticity and a leather scabbard.

Rambo knives can also be useful, though. Campers and outdoor enthusiasts can have a copy of the original survival knife in the movie and use it for camping trips, hikes or other outdoor experiences. This is because the Rambo knife includes a survival kit in the handle and a compass so that you don’t lose your way. If the blade is made of stainless steel or carbon steel then it is also perfect for cutting ropes or even gutting fish that you catch while on a camping trip.
