I mean that. But for me, the fact that every one of them I've seen has "Lord of the Rings" stamped on it somewhere completely ruins them, and ruins any chance of me ever buying one. I also cannot bring myself to spend any real money on a stainless steel blade. I know that I'm not likely to actually use any of my sword collection, but I like knowing I could. Stainless steel does not a good sword make; most makes of stainless steel are far more brittle than carbon or spring steel, and would shatter way too easily if used in actual combat.</blockquote>
