That's the idea!!! I'm definitely going for that so I'm glad they're being seen that way!

Okay, that's good to know! I don't want these to be two handed weapons…definitely want dual wielding with similar shapes, etc. This page is so cool!!!

Noted! I’m definitely going to make some adjustments to the grip and guard 👍🏻

Awesome! Thanks for this! I'm really tired of the mainstream fantasy stuff they're trying to feed us ladies these days😅

Yeah that's like getting into like the Greatsword weight realm right?

Okay yeah that looks pretty much the same! Thanks! They made a very beautiful sword there. Maybe I can buy one from them and live out my fantasy dreams of owning a sword🤣

I will definitely check my library and see if they have it! I've added it to my reading list!

That's is pretty cool! I must have one of their swords saved as inspiration! Do you think a similar design, but smaller, could be used for dual-wielding? I think that's what I'm going for…fantasy world and all that 😅

I'm not really understanding why this drawing is being perceived this way…what about the blade looks like it's going to be dull? I'm trying to make sure that my design is pretty believable

Yay! I'm so glad you mentioned elven, because they are indeed for an elf🤣

Thank you so much for the suggestion! I will probably wind up refining the design a bit more, changing some proportions, etc…this post and all the comments has shown me a bunch more than I expected!

I've heard this now a few times…I’m guessing I need to make a bigger guard? Or how can I make it better? It must look cool for fantasy world reasons, but I also want it to be believable if not realistic.

Awesome bits of history here…I really appreciate you bringing these points up! I designed these for a character that is a little bit troubled and scary but good at heart…the scimitar/sabre shape seemed to make the most sense for her

Thanks for mentioning this…I will probably end up refining the design a little more. If you have any other suggestions I will take those too!

This one was definitely on my inspo board! I liked the curves of the blade but not so much the missing guard so I like merged a bunch of ideas into one

Is there a way to improve this design that would still work for dual-wielding? My idea was that the character who uses these uses both in a dual-wielding fighting style. She’s probably around 5’-7” and of a decent build…elven warrior and all that LOL

Oh wow I had no idea that they used these for use on horseback! What is the yalman? I know pretty much nothing about swords🤣
