Also for cutting armour

Not plate armor

swords are made straight for piercing power

You cant cut armor

That is a dacian falx

You can break it

You won't get through plate armor with a sword

And bend it

Nothing breaks late medieval plate

Unless its a gun

That's why maces exist

if the knight is being held or knocked out you can

Or a very strong crossbow

and the handle is used instead of a crossbow

mace*

You dont need to pierce the armor if you break the bones of the user

U can kill a guy with plate armour

the handle is unironically pretty good for combat.

Just gota be super skilled

And hit him between the plates

@Pelkių monstras ah the good ol blade grip

My point isnt that you cant kill him my point is that you cant cut the armor

Still a mace would be better

Also any blunt weapon can btfo plate fags

if youre grug with 2k strenght you can probably brute force it but no human is strong enough

Ye

yeah mace is better

but handle is more useful than a spear against plate

War hammers

This

swords look the most aesthetic

change my mind

True

^

I like the norse short sword design ngl

It's taken by the Roman spatha tho

I like most straight sword designs

from the gladius to the zweihander

Me too

Don't really like sabres though
