Cutlass (fucking great for the untrained)
Sabres

Katzbalger
Koncerz (essentially a mini lance for repeated shankings)
I like shit that’s aesthetic, easy to use or extremely specialised to the point where it’s designed to do poorly when used outside its specific purpose.
James Reed
I'll take the one that does those things better, thanks.
Ethan Torres
>Kriegsmesser
Funny I own an original and it looks nothing like the modern interpretation. Its effectively a long triple fullered machete with a slight curve.

I don't know enough about swords to give a proper answer, but I like when obvious effort has gone into the craftsmanship of one.

Jackson Morgan

what are the strengths and weaknesses of the long sword?
James Martinez
>oh shite a crossbow
Noah Gomez
Longsword's better for scaling infusions and has a thrust but the broadsword is better for non-scaling infusions and is generally preferable early on.
Anthony Murphy
Broadsides has a pretty trash loveseat though.
Fuck that's too funny to correct.

>You can carry it on your hip
>You can use it one or two handed
>You can half-sword for extra leverage and thrusting into gaps in armour
>If you're well trained you can deal with polearms, and no, Skallagrim flailing at polearms with plastic swords doesn't count as a test, he's a shit.
>Can fairly easily penetrate mail.
Cons
>Less range than polearms
>Can't cut through armour
Jaxson Martin
>Can fairly easily penetrate mail.
not really
Maille is alot harder to penetrate than people think.
Alexander Walker
Yes really. A Type XVa longsword will penetrate enough to cause a serious wound with most solid thrusts to an exposed area of mail. Making that thrust however is the hard part if they have plate armour pieces on top of the mail, but a mail haubergeon alone would be easy enough. Just need a pointy stiff sword, hence why they were the vogue in the late 14th Century until the early 16th.
Ian Reyes
That's only a single type though.
The majority of them weren't designed to thrust through mail.
Austin Scott
There's a reason that around the time of plate armour swords tended to be pointy instead of cut-focused like earlier Medieval swords.
Blake Reyes
Type XVIIIb longsword.
to me, this sword is just perfectly proportioned.
Luis Allen
Cameron Gonzalez
and there's more of them are cut-focused then there are thrust focused
Brody Green
You lot seem like semi experts. Is there any way to shop for swords according to these classifications?

I have a Warring States era Jian I'm quite fond of. motherfucker has hard steel edge inserts forged in and is a real killer. one swipe will take off a 2" maple branch like butter and the balance on it is like holding a pencil.
fucking Chinese know how to make a good sword, I tell you hwat
Jeremiah Ross
>Skallagrim
he's not often wrong per se, he's just absolute shit athletically. coordination skills of a toddler
Nathan Price
i don't know, just something i can use to crush my enemies, see them driven before me, and hear the lamentations of their women.
Elijah Cox
>Can fairly easily penetrate mail.
not important as most of those injuries are crush trauma to limbs followed fatal head wounds

That's it. I'm sick of all this "sage" bullshit that's going on in this thread right now. Sage deserves much better than that. Much, much better than that.
I should know what I'm talking about. I myself commissioned a genuine sage in Jow Forums for 2,400,000 Internets (that's about $0) and have been practicing with it for almost 2 years now. I can even sage threads of solid awesome with my sage.
Weeaboo fags spend years working on a single sage and type it up to a million times to produce the finest sage known to mankind.
Sage is thrice as sharp as age and thrice as hard for that matter too. Anything an age can bump, a sage can unbump better. I'm pretty sure a sage could easily sage the most epic thread in the universe with four letters.
Ever wonder why /co/ never bothered conquering /a/? That's right, they were too scared to fight the weeaboo fags and their sage of destruction. Even during the re/b/oot, Moderators targeted the men with the sage first because their sageing power was feared and respected.
So what am I saying? Sage is simply the best thing that the world has ever seen, and thus, require better stats in this thread. Here is the stat block I propose for sage:
(One-Handed Exotic Weapon) 1d12 Sage 19-20 x4 More Sage +2 to hit and damage Counts as Masterwork
(Two-Handed Exotic Weapon) 2d10 Sage 17-20 x4 More Sage +5 to hit and damage Counts as Masterwork
Now that seems a lot more representative of the power of Sage in real life, don't you think?
tl;dr = Sage needs to do more damage in this thread, see my new stat block.
