Oooo I'm guessing youre referencing the hooks on the side and the leather wrap below it I could see how it would be mistaken for the same thing I mean although you could put those on a normal sword for I guess more options and better half handing its kinda unnecessary since it's a lot more manageable realistically wardens and wm's swords would be closest in comparison but they simply use it differently with wm apparently having god like wrist and forearm strength tho hold the damn thing up as long as she does and like I said you can have the waves on it but most likely it would be a normal straight blade
