Your collection by the numbers: Categories
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. :)
Swords: 9 (2 practice swords)
Shields/Bucklers: 3
Polearms/javelins: 4
Armour: 1
This ought to be a fun thread to mill over once more replies come in. :D

Swords: 4, although the fourth one is not in my hands yet.
Pole weapons: 4
Maces/smaller axes or hammers: 2
Daggers: 1
Shields/bucklers: 1
Armour: 3
*Arming clothes: 2

Total: 17

*Edit: oh right, there's also clothing to count. Thanks, Joe!
