Why are Katanaa and long swords so praised and collectable?

[Jason Voorhees]

Why do people collect katanas, Longswords and not spears? Spears are 10x more effective than swords

Handgun+A Pepper spray = Safe

Who gives a shit about effectiveness they don't collect swords to use them in combat, they're just cool as chit

Because they look cool

Katana blades are pretty aesthetic ngl.

I want one, but right now I have a Chinese sword and dagger and kendo stick only.

Maybe it's because spears take up too much room.

But I imagine wealthy weapons collectors also have a good selection of spears and pikes.

Idk, probabily because of the artistic or cultural significance those swords posses. I personally really like original historical rapiers, but Im too poor to collect them.
