Schwing!

Welcome to a world of legends, where the mightiest weapons aren’t just forged from steel, but from the imaginations of countless storytellers. From blades that wield mystical powers to those steeped in prophecy, these badass swords have become as famous as the heroes who wield them and captured our hearts and minds across movies, game, books, etc. So join Tuong La and Podcast Knights Justin Godelie (Pull the Plug), Jordan Godelie (Benko Pet Treats), and Tom Zalatnai (No Bad Food) as they slice and dice their way to making a Top 5 Fictional Swords list!

Ground Rules

• Like all of our “Fictional” episodes of this show, we are pulling from all fiction including Movies, TV, Books, Video Games, Comics, etc.
• We are not ranking these swords on which are the most powerful but those that we like the design of, the history of, it’s impact outside of it’s medium, etc.
• Swords are proportionate to the user who wields them. For example, some “daggers” can be considered swords for smaller creatures.
• Not all daggers are swords. In fact most aren’t but we’ll hear the nomination if we all believe in our heart that it’s a sword. General rule of thumb: If the world it comes from calls it s a sword, that’s good enough for us!
