Become a blacksmith, supply the revolution with cool swords.
Swords are awesome, but not very practical against drones and bullets.
Like, a cool sidearm to have as a backup as long as it doesn't get in the way. A dagger might be less obtrusive and still get the point across. But swords these days are good for three things: reenacting, sport, and display.
Maybe decades post-apocalypse when blackpowder is in short supply they'll be more practical. Unless we have laser guns already at that point...
Tangential thought: I wonder if a heavily polished sword can reflect laser beams like in star wars... 🤔
i want one of those curvy swords please
Which kind of curvy sword? Flamberge? Saber? Scimitar? Khopesh? Bahuandao?
