is a list of the 50 hottest women sword fighters on the website &lt;a href="http://www.onlyknives.com/the-50-hottest-women-sword-fighters/" target="_blank"&gt;Only
Knives&lt;/a&gt;, which mostly contains information about knives,
swords and blades, but sometimes makes an exception for cleavage. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="2"&gt;It
would be cooler if these were actual, real-life sword-fighting women,
but really it&amp;#39;s just chicks in movies with knives, swords, and blades wearing leather or some sort of pirate dress. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="2"&gt;Favorites from most dressed to least after the jump:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="2"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/2008/08/01-07/uma_thurman1.JPG"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/2008/08/01-07/uma_thurman1.JPG" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="2"&gt;Ah, Uma. How we scoured stores looking for a bright yellow suit like yours after &lt;i&gt;Kill Bill &lt;/i&gt;came out. We had to settle for yellow Asics and some sweatpants. People still got the reference, though.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="2"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/2008/08/01-07/milla_jovovich3.JPG"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/2008/08/01-07/milla_jovovich3.JPG" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="2"&gt;This is Milla Jovovich, in case the, ahem, knives were distracting you from her face.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="2"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/2008/08/01-07/natassia_malthe1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/2008/08/01-07/natassia_malthe1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="2"&gt;The woman with the sword is Natissa Malthe, we have no idea who she is--she was in &lt;i&gt;Blood Rayne II: Deliverance &lt;/i&gt;which is, you know, on our Netflix queue. But we wanted to show you this photo to illustrate an important point about women sword fighters....&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="2"&gt;The reoccurring combination of thigh-high boots and bustiness below.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="2"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/2008/08/01-07/natassia_malthe2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/2008/08/01-07/natassia_malthe2.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="2"&gt;There is a conspiracy that results in women who swing the sword dressing like Xena (whose absence from this list is a shameful oversight, by the way). &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="2"&gt;See, even lists of cheap thrills for knife enthusiasts can teach you something about the world.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(via &lt;a href="http://www.yesbutnobutyes.com/archives/2008/07/the_50_hottest.html" target="_blank"&gt;YesButNoButYes&lt;/a&gt;)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="2"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.nerve.com/CS/aggbug.aspx?PostID=114554" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/knives/default.aspx">knives</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/uma+thurman/default.aspx">uma thurman</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/sword+fighting/default.aspx">sword fighting</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/xena/default.aspx">xena</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/swords/default.aspx">swords</category></item></channel></rss>
