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

I mean it kinda depends on what you're looking for @Weez

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

Did the Aztecs have some kind of sword with a jade blade?

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?

because people didn't wear fucking armor

so yes

most of european history
