"Blade Enthusiast" is currently being drafted on the TLP as a proposed spin-off of the former Knife Nut trope that is being split.

When I think of this trope, I think of Gilgamesh from the Final Fantasy franchise. His whole character is to travel between dimensions to collect the strongest and most unique blades and testing his strength with them against the protagonists. I can't seem to find a good picture of him where he has the iconic weapons of Cloud, Squall, and Tidus in his arsenal, but there are these two from Final Fantasy XIII-2 and Final Fantasy XIV, respectively.

Opened. Somehow I think that illustrates Multi-Melee Master or Multi-Armed and Dangerous more than the TLP, because it emphasizes him looking dangerous/badass more than the act of collecting.

Definitely Multi-Armed and Dangerous, and I like 1.1 a lot better for that page than its current.

[up] I agree.

As for the TLP, I think we need something like what's on Gun Nut. Someone with rows and rows of knives on display.

According to the description, this trope is more about knife collectors than people with different bladed weapons as a Weapon Of Choice, so yeah, something of a Wall of Weapons of knives/swords would work better here.

A scene from Thunderbolt Fantasy. Context (could be added to TLP if it fits)

8's really good. Maybe for the caption: "Damn, all of this and not one razor?"

[up]I was coming to comment that I like the hilarity of her checking out the weapons cabinet fresh out of the shower, so +1 for that combo.
