BasicLich posted:i was looking into this popular dark souls sword, the Estoc and from what I read it's a hispanization of an english sword known as a "Tuck", but strangely enough the Estoc and the Tuck look nothing alike except for being rather heavy swords. the Estoc appears to be a plunging sword with a triangular or square blade with no cutting capability whatsoever and the Tuck is a heavy single edged cutting sword Hmm, interesting...

I loved that thing. I laid open my right hand to the bone while screwing around as a teenager with a bokken. Later we got shinai, which lasted maybe an afternoon before somebody got hit way too hard I'd hella go to a samurai class tho

Today I learned my roommate has a mall katana that was made in 2001 and he said it's become a collector's item and has appreciated in value since he bought it. I did not believe him so he looked it up on ebay and son of a bitch it was worth substantially more than when he bought it. The value of my life has appreciated less in the last 22 years than a mall katana. I have been living wrong.

I'm sure the mall in Ventura had a sword and knife store at some point. They had a Radio Shack, a KB Toys, and a Thomas Kinkade gallery after all.

More like my sword store has a mall. It's the only anchor store left and basically the only STORE left in the drat thing. "Blades, Blades, Blades" has literal thousands of different swords and blades but funnily enough it doesn't have any kitchen knives. That's why the kitchen store is also there.

I had to look at the Maine Mall directory, and alas, there does not appear to be a dedicated sword store. There is a tattoo parlor, which is pretty cool for a mall.

Mall near me does not have a sword store afaict but does have one of those gift shops where they sell incense and small statues of Buddha and call it "Oriental Somethingorother." They might have swords That mall would be like a normal-rear end mall if they just cut off the third floor and moves the survivors into the empty spaces on the 1st and 2nd floors.

There used to be a place we called the "Sword n' Bong" at the mall. Maybe I should check if it's still there.

Do they actually sell many because that sounds like a money laundering front.

Ibexaz posted:In school me and my friends bought bokken sticks at the sword store in the mall and we'd beat the poo poo out of each other in my buddy's back yard. Most of the bokken broke or got displaced over the years, but I kept a hold of one of them, an orangish brown one covered in tape to stop it from splitting any more than it already was, the edges bashed and dented from combat. I loved that thing. Get Japanese white oak for your bokken, that stuff is solid. Mine is over thirty years old and has a couple dents, but its seen some pretty intense training. The best mall for a sword store I ever saw was in Tijuana. YMCA beach camp in San Diego for a week with a one day excursion across the border. This was pre-9/11 and they'd take us down, walk across the border (without passports) and then the counselors would just set up at a bar/cafe and tell us all to go have fun, "check back in at noon, and we leave at 4 o'clock". Seriously a bunch of 16-17 year olds left to their own devices in Tijuana. Of course we'd split up into groups of 5 or six kids, and the priority for most of the guys was to get a butterfly knife. They were all the rage and coolness at the time probably from a movie or TV show. We went around to several shops that were mediocre, over priced junk essentially. We got to one shop though and the owner was all "Would you boys like to see the back room?" Nothing terrifying about that. So of course we checked it out. The back room was a freaking arsenal of weaponry. Two walls of knives and swords, two walls of pistols and assault rifles. A bunch of teenage gringos just handling and checking out all the weapons. A few butterfly knives were bought, a few assault rifles were handled and returned. The vendor made a decent profit, I'm sure, and then we went on our merry way. All the knives were smuggled across the border in the underwear. "Hey we're just a bunch of white Christian kids with our counselors. It's all good!" Nobody got checked. Back at surf camp everyone was playing with their knives when the counselors weren't around. Overall, a very wholesome and heart-warming experience.

The last time I went to the mall near me there was a sword store. Also an anime store. But this was when I was in my mid-40s, so that has probably changed.

Why don't sword houses have property dueling arenas so you can test out your purchases with other worthy opponents Or a full time dojo combined with the sword store so you can see students practicing with their 師範

Like make the end of the handle (I don't know sword words, hilt, pommel?) out of a truck nuts? e: I guess this is kinda close, but not veiny enough

I'm in Atlanta and we have a lot of malls still. I was gonna say there's no sword store, but then I remember the one mall has a Medieval Times and the gift shop has swords. We DO got mall swords here in Atlanta!
