damn thats awesome!

more epic than the crazy weapons i used to draw XD

sometimes real designs are the best, shame this one took a lot of digging to find

yeah but i was in highschool when i made my weapons so my imagination wuld just go out of control XD

nothing wrong there

goodpoint^^

btw off the topic slightly your icon a reference to monster hunter?

yes, an icon in the style of the monster icons

awesome x3

Looks like an extra slicey slicey good blade.

That looks similar to a nagamaki.

its kinda similar but i tend to avoid most japanese blades unless the context for a japanese user is there
is use, its probly used similarly though

Thanks! I got curious and did some research about this obscure sword design. I probably did a lot of the same digging/research that you did, but for anyone else who finds this and is interested here's what I learned.

The name 'warbrand' is modern and appears to have been coined by Museum Replicas Limited for a sword made by Windlass Steelcrafts: http://www.museumreplicas.com/p-284.....and-sword.aspx

There doesn't seem to be a historical name for this style of European sword or any surviving examples. Apparently the sword is based off of a picture from the Maciejowski Bible:

the Maciejowski Bible also has an illustration of a short hafted glaive that looks somewhat similar:

brand is an alternate name for swords so it simply means a sword for war

falcata too is a more modern name and yet its still used to refer to the iberian choppers

Yeah, sword names and classifications are somewhat arbitrary and mostly modern.

I found another picture of one of these obscure historical European weapons in the Maciejowski Bible:

I like the look of the one you created here, very nice work with mixing good aesthetics with practical design.
