European broadswords are beasts, but there's something about the curved blade that I find so much more beautiful. Arabic scimitars are curved as well, but unnecessarily so, with too many odd angles that seem more ceremonial than functional. Katanas fuse the best of both worlds imo.

I prefer a stiletto, but both it and the katana work on the idea of a clean cut, as opposed to more blunt and brute force of a broadsword, so I can agree with this opinion. There's just something more... intimate about knives, I suppose.

From: FashnQueenEtna | #023 Any sword will lose its edge with use. If you're using it against flesh and bone a lot? That will wear down any sword quick. As a slicing tool, a katana is an extremely high maintenance weapon that takes a lot of training just to maintain properly. Even if you were a samurai you'd have trouble in a zombie apocalypse if you ran into enough guys at once, because that's not what it was designed for. War wasn't like videogames. Samurai didn't go and kill thirty people with a katana. That's not how Japanese feudal battles worked. And if they had tried, their weapon would have been in terrible shape and ineffective by the end. Katanas aren't these "magical" swords that people make them out to be. They're swords. Good swords for the limited level of technology and resources available in Japan, but swords nonetheless. -- Gamefaqs' #1 Testicle Bettor: Proud owner of many testes http://img688.imageshack.us/img688/6553/alec.png ...

aesthetically speaking my absolute favorite sword is a sabre. very underrated for how amazingly cool they look. second for me is the classic european style broadsword which would actually more likely be my weapon of choice in a zombie apocalypse type setting since it would be much more effective than a sabre for that type of situation.

for me a shortsword would probably be better actually. I doubt I could use a broadsword for a prolonged period of time and it would be my undoing.
