Swakistani, n. A cheap reproduction sword made in a third-world nation. Often has a capital P stamped on the ricasso. While it may look good hanging in its sheath (though it usually doesn’t), it should never be swung at anything or anyone lest it spread shrapnel across the field.

About T.H. Gray
T.H. Gray is the self-appointed court jester and Dr. Demento for the history museum field. A lifelong museum professional and reenactor, he is a graduate of the prestigious Peale-Barnum Public History Museum Studies Program. Until 2011, when the AHS hired him away, he was on staff at the Benjamin Dover Memorial Museum & Swimming Pool ("Our History is All Wet!"). He remembers when museums were still about history, science, and art.
