Your collection by the numbers: Categories -- myArmoury.com

Chad Arnow · myArmoury Team

Let's see how people's collections break down by item type:

Here's mine:

Swords: 7
Daggers/Seaxes: 8
Knives: 5
Armour: 1

Total: 21

I suspect we'll see a number of sword-heavy and/or sword-exclusive collections, but it will be interesting to see how people's collections spec out. Happy

Being that this is November, my first sword purchase started one year ago. Between there and now:

Swords: 7
Blunt force: 3 (2 maces and 1 warhamer)
Polearms: 1 (halberd)

Some of these are still on order, but since I've paid for them I'm going to g ahead and count them.
