Highlander sword?

No Stormbringer? Fail!

Ahem:

Excalibur is #7?? WTF?

Born2late: No Stormbringer? Fail!
THIS

I would add: "One, two! One, two! And through and through / The vorpal blade went snicker-snack! / He left it dead, and with its head / He went galumphing back."

Anyone else thing the lightsabres look like a series of luminescent dildos?

You need to get laid.

you know, i own replicas of 3 of those swords, Sting, Excalibur, and the William Wallace sword.
Ok, 4 if you count the fact that I have toy lighesabers as well.

how can they be missing Strafe, and Stranglehold, and Sh*t.

oh... "swords"

How about Ice and Long Claw?

/For the Ice and Fire fans

FTFA:
The real William Wallace's sword is on display in Stirling, Scotland at The National Wallace Monument and it looks nothing like what is seen in the movie.

After William Wallace's death, it was transported there via a white van.

/too obscure?

You want badass?

What, no mention of Abslom Daak's dalek-slicing chainsword?

they forgot this!

The ten most badass fantasy swords in history.

FTFY

But since we're on the subject of fantasy anyway... No Townsaver? Farslayer?

SilentStrider: you know, i own replicas of 3 of those swords, Sting, Excalibur, and the William Wallace sword.

I believe what Kyosuke said may apply to you as well. :)

Who holds Coinspinner knows good odds
Whichever move he make
But the Sword of Chance, to please the gods
Slips from him like a snake.

The Sword of Justice balances the pans
Of right and wrong, and foul and fair.
Eye for an eye, Doomgiver scans
The fate of all folk everywhere.

Dragonslicer, Dragonslicer, how d'you slay?
Reaching for the heart in behind the scales.
Dragonslicer, Dragonslicer, where do you stay?
In the belly of the giant that my blade impales.

Farslayer howls across the world
For thy heart, for thy heart, who hast wronged me!
Vengeance is his who casts the blade
Yet he will in the end no triumph see.

Whose flesh the Sword of Mercy hurts has drawn no breath;
Whose soul it heals has wandered in the night,
Has paid the summing of all debts in death
Has turned to see returning light.

The Mindsword spun in the dawn's gray light
And men and demons knelt down before.
The Mindsword flashed in the midday bright
Gods joined the dance, and the march to war.
It spun in the twilight dim as well
And gods and men marched off to hell.

I shatter Swords and splinter spears;
None stands to Shieldbreaker
My point's the fount of orphans' tears
My edge the widowmaker.

The Sword of Stealth is given to
One lonely and despised.
Sightblinder's gifts: his eyes are keen
His nature is disguised

The Tyrant's Blade no blood hath spilled
But doth the spirit carve
Soulcutter hath no body killed
But many left to starve.

The Sword of Siege struck a hammer's blow
With a crash, and a smash, and a tumbled wall.
Stonecutter laid a castle low
With a groan, and a roar, and a tower's fall.

Long roads the Sword of Fury makes
Hard walls it builds around the soft
The fighter who Townsaver takes
Can bid farewell to home and croft.

Who holds Wayfinder finds good roads
Its master's step is brisk.
The Sword of Wisdom lightens loads
But adds unto their risk.

I call shens on the whole article. Sting was an elven dagger, not a sword for one. And the Sword of the Atlantean King is far superior to all others.

Not technically a sword, but it did kill Jesus. That's gotta count for something.

What no Narsil??? Fail. It beats out sting imho.

No Buster Sword???

No Master Sword???

/List is useless

T.M.S.: Highlander sword?

This. Hell, all three of them-series, movie (there were sorta different, IIRC) and the Kurgan sword. Seriously, between the two cartoon swords that don't exist and the Frodo dagger, this guy needs to get the fark out of the basement.

NERDS!

Excalibur needs to be #1...that's just obvious

The rest is just stupid

No love for the Green Destiny? I mean the sword was just ok, but the name was cool!

This list is really more like a list of the "Top Ten Swords from Blogger's Top Ten Movies/TV Shows with Swords in Them."

Now with four times the penetrating power of a regular phallus.

/lol, dick joke

Phew! As a Star Wars fan I was worried about the coolest "sword" ever being left off this list.

/seriously though, some Farkers have great additions to this list

No Kurgan sword? List is gheyer than Elton John.

Just wrap it up with the dong tea.

No mention of the Daikatana? This list sucks.

As a young boy chasing Dragons
with your wooden sword so mightly,
You're St. George you're David and you always
killed the beast
Times change very quickly
And you had to grow up early
A house in smiking rums and the bodies
at your feet

[Chorus:]
You'll die as you lived
In a flash of the blade
In a corner forgotten by no-one
You lived for the touch
For the feel of the steel
One man, and his Honour.

The smell of resined leather
The steely iron mask
As you cut and thrust and parried at the
fencing master's call
He taught you all he ever knew
To fear no mortal man
And now you'll wreak your vengeance in the
Screams of evil man.

Weaver95:

Exactly. There was something like, what, 843 magic swords in those books and not ONE gets mentioned?

Lamest list ever.

Wow. Not a single one of those replicas would be useful to do anything but hang on the wall and look pretty.

It's like a Bud K/$50 bucks at the flea market bonanza.

Try these: Del Tin Swords (new window)

Or these: Armor Online (new window)

No Durandal/Durandana/whatever you want to call Charlemagne's sword?

Fail.

dahmers love zombie: Ahem

Heh. Nice. I still like the Halo 1 shotgun for battling the flood, but you really can't go wrong with an Elite Energy Sword.

The only sword I wear is my Dirk when I dress formally in my Kilt. Very handy, even has a mini fork and knife built into the side. You can slay the beast and eat it afterward....

/there can be only nom nom nom....

Farked.

The Masamune Katana from highlander was WAY cooler than most of those. And the braveheart sword is number 1? PFFFF! what a load of shiat!

Schlemiel: You want badass?

Oh, dear Lord, Schlemiel, that's hilarious! Excellent! ;)

/Never bring a shark to a gun fight.

Dorks.

Apparently you all have forgotten the dangers of swords..

How about the Sword of Fargoal?

Paris Hiltons Angry Vagina: I believe what Kyosuke said may apply to you as well. :)

would it be a bad time to mention my wife has the Gryffindor sword from Harry Potter? :P

Born2late

Yep, Stormbringer FTW

/alas, poor Elric

I thought they'd have had that monstrous blade wielded by pyramind head from Silent Hill. If nothing else, it's pure badass.

Glad to see Inigo Montoya's rapier there - unbelieveably, I only saw Princess Bride for the first time 2 nights ago. I'm 30. Luckily, inspired by the film, I'm off to my first fencing lesson on Wednesday. Woo!

/ My name is Inigo Montoya
/ You killed my father
/ Prepare to slashie

Hey subby, thats twelve words.

No Zin??

Zin'rokh, Destroyer of Worlds

theFword - Yep, that should also surely be in the list. Preferably at no. 1. Although I suspect Itto would be as bad ass with *any* sword due to his mad skillz

This is the Wallace blade....
