Most bad ass looking sword?

I suddenly got an interest in cool looking swords. Be they fictional or real.

I vote for Cloud's Buster sword. That a mean lookin' mofo that you don't wanna mess with.

I really love Celtic broadswords, and Japanese swords.

Celtic swords mostly because they are huge and awesome looking, but Japanese swords because of the craftsmanship involved in making them... the old school way anyway.

But, all swords are cool

I always liked the description of Rand's Heron Mark sword from the Wheel of Time series.

Wheel of Time Heron Mark Sword CB Swords - Fantasy and Reproduction Swords and Sword Accessories - CB Swords

Quote:
In the world of Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time series, heron-mark swords are traditionally presented to those who have earned the title of "Blademaster"- either by killing a Blademaster in a fair fight or by being granted the title by a unanimous vote of five Blademasters. These individuals are unrivaled in their mastery of the sword, and are accordingly rare. Some heron-mark swords were made during the War of Power through use of the One Power, which produced blades that never required maintenance, and were essentially unbreakable. Rand al'Thor possessed one of these swords, a gift from his father. But after the Three Oaths were established, forbidding Aes Sedai to (among other things) use the One Power to make weapons, the number of blademasters eventually began to outstrip the number of Power-wrought blades, necessitating the creation of heron-mark swords of a more conventional nature. The Heron Mark Sword is a superb example of the sword maker's art. In the old days, the Heron Mark swords were made by blending metals to make a blade that need never be sharpened, nor could it be broken. But today, the Heron Mark is a sign that the sword was made by a blade master. Such swords are awarded only to he who has proven that he has the highest possible skill with a sword. We are very proud to offer this Heron Mark sword; hand-forged and of a very tough, high carbon steel. The guard and pommel are brass and the balance is simply superb. Authorized and approved by Robert Jordan, this sword is an accurate copy of those blades in The Wheel of Time series. Once you hold this blade in your hands, you realize how quick and deadly is the sword.

Though the green and blue ones look pretty bad-ass as well.

I'm a fan of the classics. Maybe I just watched the Princess Bride and Zorro to much.



I want a sword that turns me into a muscle bound, mullet-wearing, princess rescuing, big fucking cat riding, super hero. I mean, FF7 swords are cool and all, but the POWER OF FUCKING GREYSKULL! Think of what you could do with the ability to turn one of BlahBlahBlah's cats into a big purple tiger that you could ride? Coolest. Sword. Ever.

Hoshigaki Kisame's Samehada has to be the most bad ass looking sword in my mind. It doesn't look so awesome when it is covered, but it's awesome when the sharkskin comes out! Plus, it injures those who try to wield it without the owner's permission.

Couldn't find a great screencap of it, but this one is decent:

A disproportionate number of votes towards fictional zanbatos (horse-slayers ; swords that sport a blade that is as large the person wielding it). Kinda funny because that's the way you would describe how the weapon looks—disproportionate.


Well, here is my preferred horse-slayer, the guandao (a Chinese-variable halberd).










...and just because this guy is so freakin'-cool, he also looks bad-ass brandishing the "Northern Shaolin Kung Fu Hook Swords".

O yeah that's a mean one. They only show three of the seven swords from the legendary swords men right? I wanna see the rest.

Zabuza's sword is also bad ass looking too, even though it resembles a giant old fashion can opener.

I must have spent a couple hours lookin' on teh interwebz for a sword that i liked and would use as my personal weapon and i cant seem to find anything.

I kinda like the 300 sword for how it seems it would handle but the hilt doesn't do it for me. I need my swords to be intricate!


I guess I'll have to keep looking. Google is letting me down.

P'raps I'm not imaginative enough, but I'm looking at most of these and all I can think is how wildly impractical they are.

Levite's suggestion of the claymore appeals to my heritage, but much as it pains me to say it I suspect I'm simply not big enough to use such a weapon effectively. As such, I'd be more likely to choose something like this, had I the necessity and training:



Simple, elegant and effective.

This is the three-bladed sword from "The Sword and the Sorcerer" starring Lee Horsley as "Talon".
Two of the blades shot out from the sword as projectiles. That, along with a lightsaber were the swords I most wanted as a kid.
