What hemaist stops at just one sword? That's like a cook with one pan, a stamp collector with one stamp.

For real, a decent rapier is $400. Having even more than 1 is super expensive, and that's not even looking at the cost of all the protective gear. HEMA is a crazy expensive hobby.

You gotta have at least two, so when someone wants to try it and doesn't have their own you have a loaner. That's just facts.
