“Soldier of the Rajah Coming to the Sword Sharpener of Ahmedabad” by Edwin Lord Weeks (1849 - 1903)
The Ashantee War: Sharpening Cutlasses in the Camp at Prah-Su
I almost like it when a Sword Dude™ comes in. Then I get to tell them how stupid and dangerous a decorative sword is as a 'self defiance weapon'.
Can I sharpen that sword? Yes!
Should you ever raise that sharpened blade against anything? NO! ITS GLUED TO THE HANDLE MY GUY.
Groooooossss! I have to sharpen a fucking roman Gladius for a fucking sword boy. I fucking hate dealing with these sword boys.
YOUR REPLICA SOUVENIR SWORD DOES NOT IMPRESS ME.
Move the fuck along.
You wanna know the type of dude who's really into Roman military history? Exactly the kind of guy you think it is. Reddit Whiteboy bootlickers. (Or *rarely* autistic adults)
Give me an Autistic adult any fucking day btw.
But these fucking sword boys™
I am not interested in your daily "historically accurate" sword practice.
I want you to listen when I tell you the souvenir you got is Not Safe to use as anything other than decoration.
Telling me the souvenir seller claims the "sword can be sharpened" means literally nothing to me. Anything can be sharpened.
Boasting that your sword is 'guaranteed' stainless or carbon steel Is Not A Flex in any way. That's like the bottom of the barrel sweetheart.
We have a whole 'sword disclaimer' because of the amount of absolute trash swords we get in.
And somehow these sword boys interpret me (respectfully) explaining that their sword is SHIT and they are wasting their money, is some kind of confidence or skill issue on my part.
Then proceeded to try and test my knowledge or rizz me up about it.
No babe. I sharpen multi thousand dollar katanas. Your toy sword is trash.
Where are my sword Lesbians??? I need more wedding swords!
