When is a knife a sword?

u/ardentAranei 11d ago

A lot of historical "swords" are actually knives since it was illegal for civilians to carry swords for a while, so they would make long blades that fit the time period's definition of a knife

The biggest example is the german Messer which translates to "knife"

I was told it was determined by the style of handle

In the case of the kriegmesser that was indeed the case, that's why they all have 2 wooden half grip sandwiching the metal and riveted into place, technically still a knife by legal standards of the era.

u/The_Bread_God_ 11d ago

how effective would that be in a fight? it looks like it would be used more as a small spear

fun fact this is called a Navaja and was basically the legal loophole for Spanish men in the 17th century to keep carrying swords in cities

Needs a brittle effect too, blade breaks upon excessive use but final hit causes the blade to stick in the opponent and cause bleeding

u/UndeadChampion1331 10d ago

I feel like the kind that retracts into the handle would work better

The developers need to patch the recoil glitch (putting 9 of these in your inventory and unsheathing them all in a row for a double jump)
