What is your preferred type and style? I have one Type XVIII, a grosse messer, a kriegsmesser, and the rest are bastards of various descriptions. I think my Knecht is my favorite, followed closely by the Type XVIIs. Want a nice Type XIV with Solingen-esque or octagonal pommel, preferably bronze, but can't really fund it.
I wanted to do HEMA, but I could never get the elements of time, locale and finances to align. Have time these days, but not finances; when I had the finances, I never had the time. And locale was always a problem - I think the closest the last time I looked was over 100 miles from me, which is odd considering I live near a major metropolitan area.
