Glamdring was my favorite LOTR sword - I've got a replica, actually - and Ice was a close second choice from ASOIAF. Glad you guys are bringing these in.

Including only one sword from the Lord of the Rings trilogy was downright painful. I also chose not to include King Arthur's Excalibur in order to feature a few words that If felt had more contemporary resonance. I also didn't get to list the sword from The Blue Sword, or the "unnamed" sword from the Viriconium books - I loved both of these, but didn't list them for this or that reason. Anyway, you're right: this is by no means a complete list. It needs some more entries --- entries that you and other readers could provide! Feel free to list a few favorites in the comment section below. :) That’s the problem with writing any kind of list: you always end up leaving out favorites – either your own or someone else’s!
