[color=indigo]No, but I have a knife collection, and all of them are plenty sharp and usable! My biggest has a blade length of 9 1/2 inches, an overall length of 14 5/8 in., and a weight of 13.9 oz. It's the smallest one in this picture:

Also, I always carry at least three knives with me at all times. So :p[/color]

[font=gothic][color=crimson]That is cool. Very cool. I'd say that even if you did have that sword, it would be pretty difficult to use, not to mention somewhat conspicious... Although, I have two katanas and a wakizashi. Along with quite a few knives, a throwing star, nunchukas, countless quarterstaves etc... I like my weapon collection. So I'd agree with Desbreko. Always carry a weapon.[/font][/color]

I'm with um....everyone on ths one....that is definately way too small to be [i]the[/i] Buster sword. Sure it's a great replica, but I only accept the real deal, take my dad's sarison for example, it's blunt, but the blade isn't the swords only weapon.

[size=1]The Buster Sword is alot wider than that sword anyway.. and it's too shiny, the real deal has been used alot by Cloud so it looks scratched.. I mean, come on, they have to put the effort in if they want people to buy them.[/size]

[SIZE=1]I dont actually think they aimed to copy of Square. Its probably just an original sword, as most weapons in Final Fantasy are originals so its not going to be a work of art. Its very very shiny though, I like that. And I bet that sword's heavy enough as it is. Oh well.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]Well what I mean is, I'm sure plans were already made, if it was a REAL sword that has a historic past, then thats a magnificent sword. But it'd be quite obsessive to actually make a REAL sword out of Square as a company, unless Square paid them. Its ok at home of course ;)[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]But either way point taken, but to find a proper blacksmith to do something with that skill is a very rare opportunity. Anyway, it may be an original with the name 'Buster Sword' posted to raise market.[/SIZE]

I believe I found some proof that Square actually based all their Weapons' names and a few designs on Weapons of the past, or Weapons of Myth.
Also, I visited Swordsonline, and found loads of swords from quite a few movies, the Green Destiny was up for sale!? A Replica obviously!

Found this on the site:-
"Lord of the Rings Sword
The infamous "Lord of the Rings" sword measures 45" overall and has a high carbon spring steel blade measuring over 33" long! "

Most of this site is dedicated to replicating the swords in films. Perhaps, because almost everyone in the Western World knows of the Final Fantasy series, these guys saw it and decided to make a buster sword.

Well, that's my chatter over. One thing I'd like to point out about Cloud's Buster Sword, it's 9 stone right? Well, it isn't as big as Ultima Weapon, now imagine how heavy that would be!!

That Sword's called a Lionheart Sword. Found it at the same place safer_cloud found the Buster Sword. Shame it doesn't look anything like Squall's Lionheart Gunblade!

[color=indigo]Merged this with the other sword thread. - Desbreko[/color]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by zidane11 [/i]
[B]Lionheart swords are actually quite popular. It is commonly used, along with excalibur and things of that nature. It's mainly just the name. Are you sure that it's meant to be from Final Fantasy 8? [/B][/QUOTE]

Of course not. Just because something in real life shares the same name as something in a game, doesn't mean that thing has anything to do with the item in the game...

"Hey, check out this new Gold Armlet I bought."

"Cool! Four Linked slots, right? What's the defence rating on that Mother?"

'sides, it's Lionheart [i]Gunblade[/i] in the game. Not sword. :P
