http://www.toplessrobot.com/2011/07/14_famous_fantasy_swords.php [note : modern Fantasy swords, not Mythical or Historical ones] I kept thinking while reading the list that they were missing one. I mean, reading about all these swords, I realized they were missing the most important one. The most famous, kick-ass, feared and awesome one. I thought that if they had left it out their list, the whole article would be just bollocks .... Then I read which one was #1. And then I nodded in approval. It is the only valid choice. I hope for you you'll come to the same conclusions, else you're missing out on some of the most kick-ass and baroque fantasy.
I was disapointed not to see The Dragon Slayer and Soul Reaver. Dragon Slayer Soul Reaver However that being said, the list is very impressive. I actually have never read Stormbringer, and after seeing this I intend to read them now. Though, out of that list, my personal favourite would have to be The Atlantean Sword, followed by Soul Edge. Also, this is the sword I own ^-^
What about the sword from Crouching tiger ? I know Martials Art Kung Fu whatever but still ? Also for the record the Sword of Omens got robbed
How about we make it ourselves ? Off the top of my head, I can think of these three : Durandal Joyeuse Cortana
The Honjo Masamune sprung to my mind. http://www.toptenz.net/top-10-famous-deadly-swords.php http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masamune
I was just about to say, do we consider Masamune and Muramasa as fictional, or historical? I mean, yes, they really did exist, but their rumored mystical powers I think alluded more to the character of the sword maker rather than the sword itself.
