Here's a nice weblink for everyone... It points to a wonderfully written essay by someone who knows what they are talking about (so at this point I'm obviously ruled out
). The essay is too big to read in one swift sitting. However, it is a veritable cornucopia of information related to comparison of different swords and fighting styles that they were made for.
In summary the essay quotes that there is no "one best sword" but rather that differnt kids of swords were made for different fighting styles so the one best suited for a person will depend not only on the sword itself but also on the persons particular skill...
Enuff said, here's the link
