#shamshir

[cutecuttlefish]

The sword of the day is the shamshir.

There are several kinds of Persian scimitar, and this is one of them. It features a particularly strong curve, which makes it an effective cutting weapon. As a light and fast one-handed weapon, the large pommel is not just for looks; that curve helps the wielder to retain control of the blade.

The8BitDrummer plays "Swirls of Shamshir — Sumeru Battle Theme I" 

THIS DUDE HAS NEVER HEARD THE SONG BEFORE AND HE JUST FELL INTO IT SO WELL!

[a-shrieking-cloud-of-bats]

looking up historical sword details for character details

falchions are much less of a fat scimitar and much more of a bigass slab of metal with an edge on one side

swords that look like they should be two handed but aren’t

Blunders to Avoid:

Weapons performing what they shouldn't be able to do (e.g. a foil slashing metal armour)

Protagonists fighting with weapons for which they don't have the strength or build to handle

The hero carrying a huge sword all the time as if it's a wallet

Drawing a big sword form a sheath on the back (a physical impossiblity, unless your hero is a giant...)

Generic sword which can slash, stab, cleave, slash, block, pierce, thrust, whirl through the air, cut a few limbs, etc...as if that's plausible
