If you've herd of them from Final Fantasy, then vote for that reason. Masamune is the only one that is known to exist, F.Y.I. Excalibur is the most realistic, but was only in a story. Ragnarok is mytholigical.

/me pulls out her myth book and looks up ragnarok
taken from the book:
Ragnarok was the doom of the Germanic gods. After a terrible winter lasting three years, a final battle would be fought between the gods and the frost giants on the Vigrid Plain. On the side of Odin and the gods were ranged the "glorious dead" who had fallen in battle and were taken to live in Valhalla; while with the fire god Loki and the frost giants fought the "unworthy dead" from Hel (the Germanic netherworld), plus the fearsome wolf Fenrir and the sea monster Jormungand. There was nothing that the chief god Odin could do to prevent this catastrophe. His only consolation was the foreknowledge that Ragnarok was not the end of the cosmos. After he had been killed by Fenrir, Thor had been overcome by Jormungand, and most of the other gods had died in the mutually destructive encounter with the frost giants, a new world was destined to "rise again out of the water, fair and green."
Before the battle two humans, Lif and Lifthrasir, had taken shelter in the sacred tree Yggdrasil and they emerged after the carnage was over to repopulate the earth. Several of the gods also survived, among them Odin's sons Vidar and Vali, and his brother Honir, Thor's sons Modi and Magni, who inherited their father's hammer, and Balder who came back from the dead.
Ragnarok held a gerat appeal for the Vikings, whose onslaught on the western Europe is still the stuff of legend. Once they understood the effectiveness of the standhogg, the short, sharp shore-raid against the richer lands to the west and south, then, as Alcuin remarked in the eighth century, "no one is free from fear". In 793 the British offshor monastery of Lindisfarne was sacked and St Cuthber's church was spattered with the blood of the monks. "Never before in Britain," Alcuin lamented, "has such terror appeared as this we have now suffered at the hands of the heathen." But for the Vikings it was like Ragnarok, "an axe-age, a sword-age". It was a rehersal for the "wind-age and wolf-age before the world is wrecked." Although Christianity did eventually come to the Germanic peoples of northern Europe, their preoccupation with a cosmic catastrophe did not fade altogether. The Last Judgement exercised their minds during the Middle Ages. It may have been that behind the Nazis' resolve to fight on in World War Two lay a folk memory of Ragnarok.
Hmm this is rather long now but I'm going to throw in another quote just because.
Ragnarok was forshadowed by a chilling Fimbul winter. Sol and Mani grew pale with fear; blizzards swept down from the peaks and icebergs towered over the frozen earth. Loki broke free from his bonds and set sail with the fiery host.
off topic: woot! fenrir! who my clan is named after

o yea, another awesome sword from the Complete Book of Swords that would be cool Farslayer, kills your most hated enemy by screeching around the world and pierceing him in the heart. Although it is also said that whoever uses the sword will never prevail.
