Well then, perhaps neo-pagans broadly like knives and the like. Unlike many practicing buddhists, who would regard this as negative.
I have actually bought some very crude home-made satanic-looking daggers in markets - items poorly made with goat's heads. I've since sold them. And though they'd be quite deadly in an assault, they were unimpressive in every other respect.
It wouldn't suprise me if these were made by neo-pagans, considering the fact that there are reportedly so many popping up everywhere.
The fact is, while many neo-pagans may also be interested in items of historical interest, their religion in no way impels them to practice with items of genuine historical worth. And for the most part, they are no more educated in historical matters than most sectors of the populace.
If they have to own a sword or a dagger, they can as easily pick up some nice witchy looking 20th century fantasy item.
I suspect many do.
