I like katanas. They're pretty sweet. A history of men using them more than just to kill, they harbored a warrior's soul within, the ability to use one could determine your social status within the entire world, and to tarnish your weapon was to insult yourself.
Claymores are up there. Long, hard, unwieldy, only the strongest of men were able to properly bring out the full potential of one.
The AR-15 is the modern sword. warrior class blah blah defending honor blah blah

The Gladius was the most effective sword in the world. Stupid simple and versatile enough for any situation a normal man would encounter.

It was nice, but looks too much like a dagger.
Scimitars on the other hand, now there's a cool ass looking sword.

Looking cool inversely correlates with effectiveness 99% of the time.

On that note, allow me to present you the Macuahitl. Not only does thing look like it will kill you instantly, this sucker is so sharp that the tips alone are enough to rip through your skin like butter.

It looks like a zhanmadao, a falchion, and an overweight slab of bar stock had sex and this was the result.
>>29761748
its shit. tips break off and are known for getting lodged in bone, by end of battle, you are stuck with a wiffleball bat.
>>29761649
But I thought you said gladius was effective...
>>29762090
theres a difference between looking cool, and lookin dead sexy....
esp a well made Mainz Gladius
>>29761748
that's some Forsworn or Falmer shit right there.

the ww2 ones could either be simple machined steel or heirloom blades depending on how rich the officer was
