It seems that we are reaching into a very personal area... as to experience and choice of paths and where you are on the path (so to speak).

Awareness. Knowledge. Wisdom. Enlightenment.

Hand someone a rare meteorite and ask them what they think about it.....

You will get answers from, its just a rock... to bright eyed wonderment at holding a great mystery of the universe. There is no surprise to get similar responses with edged weapons. In fact, I would be surprised if there wasn't some level of revulsion, as stated before... look at its intended use.

Personally, I collect for the Art, beauty and the enjoyment it brings... and keeping a healthy respect for the intended use. Rightly or wrongly, they have carried mankind though history and in a sense, have molded us into what we are today. I can not think of anyone (that I know) that does not have or use edged steel in their everyday life. It truly is apart of us. Therefore it is no surprise, as with everything that man decorates himself, that it has become art.

Best Regards
