Most awesome anniversary present ever!

*Glomps Mason* They're so pretty~! :B I've wanted a decorative set of samurai swords for years. These are going to be displayed in our living room when you first walk into the house, though the living room in question is still in a bit of disarray right now from the move... *Must get things cleaned and set up for next weekend*

They weren't nearly as expensive as I thought they'd be. I realize they're not even real, authentic weapons; the blades are pretty blunt, but it's not like I'm going to be hacking and slashing with them anyway. They're gorgeous though, and that's all I was going for~ *Love*

You've got them in the wrong order. Smallest to largest, top to bottom.

I did some image searches on Google and the arrangements you find them in are about 50/50. Does it say somewhere what the official set up is? *So confused*

I think it's just common knowledge in Japan, a lot of which I gained in class. Also, they're called (small to large) tanto, wakizashi, katana. Noe you guys just need a knife sharpener!

I was mistaken! But you do have them wrong. It's largest to smallest, top to bottom, tips to the right and blade facing the sky. Also the set is called daisho (literally big-small) and were a symbol of samurai ranking!

So basically just spin them each around 180 degrees so they form a sort of rainbow-like curve?

You got it dude! Also, nice use of pure math 30 quadratics!
