If you parry with a dual edged blade, it either has to be ludicrously flexible, and therefore easily dulled, or it has to be thick enough to take the blow. Single edges became the majority of swords in Europe, quite quickly

>not good for fighting
kek
nahka not really if u knot metal pieces in it
Even by christfaggots
@Nahkasetä Right is match, left is disregard
I prefer dual edged, but they're much harder to temper
And they are more brittle
arming sword
with metal pieces its not only good against clothing but for anything really
aside from full plate armor
gladius
@Reprehensibletrash Weren't dual edged swords a LOT more common in Europe?
yes
I'll swipe left
Trotsky would go right
For sure
depends which part, but generally yes
rapier
Or was it obsidian?
Over all history, yes. Anytime recently, no
rapiers suck in actual combat
estoc
this isn't Fire Emblem
@Edelgard von Hresvelg They're amazing in duels
rapiers do not suck
The last used swords were all curved, aside from rapers
not in actual engagements
Which don't deserve their real name tbh
On a battlefield, yeah rapiers weren't used but they were great dueling weapons
bastar sword
rapiers and estocs were the top tier swords just before swords were phased out of real combat
What about a cutlass?
