Have you seen those warriors from Hammerfell? They’ve got curved swords.
BIG. Curved penises.
Sword but very curved and yet not very famous
(Ethiopian shotel)Pretty famous among FromSoft fans.
Well i’m not one of them.
This looks more like a scythe that doubles as a weapon to me
It was probably inspired by Egyptian khopesh since it was used in Ethiopia even before the kingdom of Axum. Thing is, the blade is sharp on both sides. So you could either use its inner side as big sickle to reach around enemy shield and try for the weak spots like neck, face or armpits, or if the enemy didn’t had a shield you could turn it to outer side and in this case it was similar to Persian shamshir in being excellent weapon against unarmored opponents.
Two more interesting thing about it was 1: the designs varies greatly, most were shorter and wider, the curvature also varied; and 2: it apparently worked quite well considering it has been in use for possibly over 2500 years and some Ethiopian emperors even organised special elite units wielding it.
Hey, have you seen those Japanese? They have curved swords. Curved… Swords…!
Persians absolutely malding right now.
Real swords have curves 😤
The same guy would write a five-page essay about how much similar curved swords like scimitars and sabres suck, and might actually die if he is shown a khopesh or a shotel.
Well it’s no 1896 pattern light cavalry saber…

are you trying to imply something about my boy shashka?
To be fair it is sharp enough to cut through atoms and space time destroying the fabric of reality allowing you to turn back time to the Big Bang and reshape the universe in your image.
How about make it straight for a bit, then it do a little back curve near the end?
any kriegsmesser homies out there?
Why not both.
