Slick, elegant blades that can gently and swiftly take a man down without condemning the wielder to the low ranks of a barbarian for usage of one requires a skilled approach.

Instead of the stiff, log, heavy-metal swords the westerners used to maim the opponent. When those huge field-battles occured, western fighters used their swords to deal as much damage as they could to the other so he wouldn't be able to participate in the battle anymore. This resulted in thousands of warriors lying on the ground with gruesome wide-open wounds and eventually after some time die from infection, getting trampled over, gangreen or simply bleeding to death.

// I do tend to look at english battles here, not sure how the continent related to this...

Scythe: Weapons like the katana, wakizashi, and tantou were historically some of the finest crafted blades around.

Personally I'd go with a Jian (Chinese straight sword used in taiji-jian and many other traditional Chinese martial arts). Or maybe the Japanese horse cutting sword (would you know what this is called, Kakero?) just for sheer intimidation factor. Of course most people can't even lift one, but it would make an interesting conversation piece. ^__^

A naginata(Japanese halberd) would also be pretty fancy.


The only melee weapons I have(besides the kitchen knives ) are kukri knives - Nepalese war knives. The blade is optimal for cutting throats. Here are some pictures.


However I have yet to collect swords so cool that they make you want to drool.
