Oldetexian:
I have always thought swords were right & proper attire. I am proud to wear my great sword at events, but must admit I am also fond of the naval-type cutlass, as well. It is just a no nonsense, business-like weapon that makes no pretense at being anything but a hacking/cleaving instrument of mayhem...and I like that... :bigsmile:
