Whenever there are several distinct sword types from a single region, I can see no fault to have a dedicated thread for each; seems to make more sense than lumping a lot of distinct pieces into a single thread IMHO. A concise overview thread to the swords of a given culture may aid newcomers to get a better understanding of the differences but dedicated threads are probably best to compare many examples of a given sword type. Just my 2 cents...
