They are all bladed weapons out of fantasy-type stories.  Excalibur is of
course from the Arthur legends.  Sting is the blade carried by Bilbo on
his quest to the Lonely Mountain.  Grayswandir I recognize, but can't seem
to remember where it came from (Corwin of Amber, maybe?).  The last three
I don't recognize, but the theme is clear enough from the first three.  Is
that good enough for half-credit? <grin>
