The most aesthetic sword ever

...

Nothin personal: the thread

You are all like tiny babies.

WE

muh falchion

>shatters after first hit

WUZ

10/10
I actually have a small replica

What the hell are these things? I saw them in a game recently.

African throwing hatchets.

Who here masterace?

>Veeky Forums likes shitty larping sword

You are all wrong, the 1796 pattern sabres are the most aesthetic

Oakeshott Types XIIa, XIIIa, and XVIIIa in hand and a half/long sword configuration are the only acceptable answers

I'm hardcore romaboo and love everything European, but goddamn if Chinese swords don't do it for me.
I particularly love the Sword of Goujian and how perfectly preserved it is.

WTF are people unironically posting pre-Renaissance swords with the boring simple hilts as the most aesthetic?

Falchion. Good for chopping wood for your camp fire when on campaign.

Disgusting

I find the lack of curved blades disturbing

What you gonna do? Scoop my eyes out?

>perfectly preserved it is
You mean Chinese hoax piece?

>fuck
>what?
>I've used up all the sword hilts
>just use this one from my kitchen knife
>thanks senpai

I'm not a weeb but katanas are beautiful.

Shit as an actual sword compared t European swords but I can still appreciate the craftsmanship with what they had.

>he likes long strait swords

ED must be tough

>discovered in a time when China was busy destroying its past.
K.

Step aside plebs

Idiots

>Useless without a shield

Wut?

Aesthetics != functionality

Sorry didn't read thread. Let me go suck a dick.

I love these. Mainly becauce they look insane, but they're actually effective.

That and some examples have dicks.

>not posting a premium Italian bastard sword

Wrong pic.

>O MARIA BIT WIR UNS
oh maria please (bitte) we us?

That blade is wayyyyyy to thick for a Claymore replica

Literally the most efficient sword ever designed

>Lance pretending to be a sword.
>A real sword.

"Oh Mary, Pray for Us." In a kind of mangled old German.

What are the odds of stabbing yourself with that in combat?

Well you're supposed to throw it. Having held one they're balanced a bit like franciscas are, where you could thump someone over the head with it if you were desperate but it's obviously meant to be thrown.

They're the reason why so many Central African shields are so huge

>the most efficient sword ever designed
Says who? Patton himself while taking inspiration of it said that it's not a fencing sword, it can't be used to defend and shouldn't. I don't call it efficient but then...

>t. I just played dark souls

Persian Shamshir

People often ask me: 'Anonkun, why are you a historian?'. To these punters I promptly respond: membership money.

>not liking THICC thighs

I hope you mean twigs and branches, not fucking tree trunks.

1796 is just too good

Good luck cutting things with that

Most aesthetic would be something you craft on your own if you can achieve that level of mastery.
Mine would be similiar to this.

Them inlaids.

I do love crystal pommeled longswords.

This one from the Bayerisches Nationalmuseum

Collection of medieval sword pommels at the Vorarlberg Museum.

This was probably a bait post but if you look at katanas objectively and disregard how disgusting weebs are, katanas are definitely aesthetic as fuck and probably would've absolutely mesmerized any knight with their sheer beauty.

I remember reading about this Samurai who washed up on the french shore in the 1600s. They found his sword pretty interesting.

For me it's the McChicken. The best fast-food sandwich.

>Taking this long to post the best dagger

Another one with a crystal pommel.

Thats not even a good one

This, it's just a render, the hamon looks cheap af, there's not even a menuki on that thing ffs! It's just a bad representation made by someone who don't seem to know how those weapons are constructed.

Thee most aesthetic swords combine cruciform hilts with a single edged and/or slightly curved hilts.
