Manlets! They never learn!

How is that a curse? It seems like it's the perfect sword for a lazy/cheap PC who doesn't want to roleplay sharpening it during downtime.

It's a curse because you don't know the curse, and so you keep sharpening the blades oblivious to the fact that your sharpening actually dulls them, and then you throw them away in disgust.

What the point of having rear quillon like this? I highly doubt you can catch opponent's blade with that.

So every thread on Veeky Forums is cursed?

You can, and that's what it's for.

That said, butterfly blades like this are purely martial arts weapons and I don't think they ever saw much actual military use.

That's what I was thinking. Aside from the fact it has no downsides if they don't have some sort of "maximum sharpness" shit would get crazy. I'm pretty sure this is what destroyed the Redguard homeland in the elder scrolls series

>The harder you scrub, the dirtier you get.

Naw, that was tonal magic. Fucking curved swords can cut through atoms.

I'd like to make a club out of these swords.
Also, these swords are usually wielded by their blades, as holding them properly by the handle actually cuts you with their "blunt sharpness".

To keep your wrist from being sliced off.

The quillions act as a grip when the sword is inverted and held almost like a tonfa. Baat cham dao are are meant to be used with a very specific set of wing chung forms, that is a sort of hybrid of unarmed fighting and fencing

The quillions can be used to trap an opponents blade if the try to parry. One of the basic moves for butterfly swords is to perform a simple thrust with the flat of the blade held level so that the quillon faces the direction of opponents blade. If they attempt to parry your sword away with their own it creates a window of opportunity to catch their blade and twist yours vertically to trap theirs horizontally between the blade and quillon of the butterfly sword.

Basically you provoke your opponent into trying to defend a thrust when really you're trying to get his sword into a position where you can trap it.

someone post the oglaf strip

That's a pretty cool effect to be honest.

But why would it be useful?

just close your eyes when you unsheathe you blade. Anyone looking at you when you do so will be dazzled and you will have just blinked

Either it split the atom or just sliced through the ground all the way to the bedrock. I believe they left it unclear.

...wait. Does that mean that atoms in TES are made of straight lines?

you don't even need a scabbard to do that

Not everyone has those kinds of gauntlets, m8

The sword doest even have to be sharp, you're hitting people with the hilt

Results?

>Blacksmith! Turn these swords into hammers.

I suppose being trapped in it forever just means you're really slow at removing it.

Even better if the bag has mournful googly eyes.

... Toilet brush?

oh man imagine if there were tales of a legendary polearm that people in the area just would not shut up about, and by the time someone gets it it's about as effective as a wet cardboard tube from all the bragging the people did about the original owner.

>melt them down
>reforge them into clubs
gg no re

You have no blade on a club, and therefore no dull blade.
You just made a great item into a normal club.

This one is amazing though. Nobody will ever waylay you for a being a brigand as you've merely got a pointed walking staff when it's also an incredibly potent weapon

Wrong, the blades/edges are like circumferential lines on a sphere.
You'd have infinite number of edges on a club, they'd all just be infinitely thin and rendered infinitely dull since there's no distance between them and the edge next to it.

If your DM is a sane man and doesn't allow this genius idea incarnate, then you just reforge it into a Flanged Mace, where each of the small flanges would be a blade, crushing and slicing your enemies at the same time!
Buy now while supplies last!

My game has a recurring blade the DM loves, Noxbrand. Thick fog billows out from the blade if unsheathed, weaving the blade through it all controls the direction.
So a thief could unsheath it in a hallway, direct the fog at the guards, and slip by unseen.

>Naw, that was tonal magic. Fucking curved swords can cut through atoms.
First of all, Shehai Shen She Ru is not the same thing as the Pankratosword. Second of all, the word "atomos" is used literally, as in "that which is unbreakable". They're talking about the Earth Bones, not actual atoms.

No, but it does mean that if you have a sharp enough knife, you can cut the laws of physics.

don't mess with infinity logic
really fucked up ship happens when you fuck around with that
like 1+2+3+4...= -1/12

club like that would most likely cause universe to disintegrate

>club like that would most likely cause universe to disintegrate
Nah, just whatever touches it.
How do you think Spheres of Annihilation are made user?

>mfw Redguards literally "cuuuuuurved sword" their way to nuclear fission

There's a softcap to its sharpness, in that once it can cut through sufficiently dense material with no resistance it'd never get any blunter. You'd never accidentally split the atom or anything, but if you dropped them they would cut right through anything they hit. And you'd never be able to sheathe them; you'd have to magnetize them to make them stay in place.

What if your parents are dead?

Or you just have so many edges, but they all touch at once, causing the same effect as a normal mace.

Then you can never reset the timer.

Also, it tells you in seconds, spoken by the voice of Tay Zonday.
