Recently, my wife broke out my copy of ‘The Complete Book of Swords’, with the intention of reading it, which reminded me of my high school days of high fantasy nonsense. (My step-brother had a Science Fiction Book Club membership, which means I have a TON of ’80s hardcovers holding my shelves down.) For my money, Coinspinner, the Sword of Luck, would be my favorite, but in a pinch, I might be better off with Mjolnir, assuming that I’m worthy. Still, either would be preferable to the curse of The Ebony Blade or the weird transforming Crazy Slots multi-weapon from ‘Hunter x Hunter’, leading to today’s legendary query…
The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) absolutely wants Quasar’s quantum bands, with all the power of a Green Lantern ring, but none of the alien overlordy nonsense, asking: Which Named Weapon of fiction do you want for your personal arsenal?

I don’t really have much of an arsenal, not really my style. So, I’ll go with the Living Weapon, i.e. Iron Fist. He’d probably be a good hang.
Lantern ring would be handy, but I dunno if I have what it takes to use it. Maybe orbital laser, like in Akira or something. That would give a bit of pull for aggressive negotiations.
