I actually rate an NCO sword. Scary, huh?
UPDATE: Hey, do lightsabers count under this catagory?
UPDATE: So I got sweat stinging my eyes right now, but let me tell you, I feel GOOD. That being said, my understanding of the sword has changed to the point where I must now rate the sword a mere one star as a fashion trend. Assholes and posers use it for fashion, it is clearly an extension of the soul. It will make more of you than you were if used well and less of you if you disrespect it. It pays no heed to the well bred or the wealthy, either... you can use it or you can't, and only time invested pays off. I'm still just a novice if you ask me, but having taken the time to understand at least a bit of the why and the how of it all, it has to be one of the coolest things I do.
