Uh...Excalibur, anyone?

Never heard of it.

I'm gonna go with one probably most people aren't terribly familiar with... Need. Need was cool. Good backstory, good personality, good character development. And yes, I am talking about a sword here

Coolest Sword

My vote's for Hrunting, but then again I'm a little biased.

Hrr. Too many choices. Between Saberhagen's Swords, and Tad Williams' "Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn"...

Sorry bud, but in an Arthur (Excalibur) vs. Elric (Stormbringer) fight, I think we all know who would win.

Ooo! Ooo! How about "Calliber-X"?

(For the record, Calliber-X is a sword from the Rifts "Mythic England" book... It's a remnant from pre-rifts earth, a psionic amplifer built into a sword, but it's very delicate... can only attune to one person in 10 million or something like that. King Arrt'ur was given it by Myrrlyn (Their spelling, not mine) as "proof of his destiny" as the king. For the record, of course.)

God, can't believe I remember that...

Ever since I was a little kid, the weapons of the hobbit have captured my imagination. Glamdring, Orcrist, and Sting. I just love the goblins' reactions, but the scene where Gandalf slays the goblin king puts Glamdring in the forefront in my mind.

Need was more then a sword, she was a useful member to the main characters for many books. Need is the best example of an intelligent weapon that I've ever seen.

I was partial to SNAGA, Druss's axe.
