Appraise: The aikuchi dagger is about nine inches long and a couple of inches wide. It is made of steel and could be used as a weapon of type dagger.
Description: A long-bladed dagger, the aikuchi is very similar in most respects to the traditional tanto. It differs mainly in its lack of a hand guard at the top of the hilt, which the tanto offers to prevent the hand from slipping forward onto the blade. Decorated with a number of tiny cream-coloured pebbles that have been crammed next to each other so closely not to leave not a single gap exposing the base material of the hilt, the handle is interrupted by a large notch at its top and has a small iron rose fused into its surface.

Appraise: The cheap and nasty switchblade is about nine inches long and a couple of inches wide. It is made of steel and could be used as a weapon of type dagger.
Description: A cheap and nasty weapon that looks like something which belongs a little way below a malicious grin approaching in a dark alley. It might not last long, but it would probably rip things up nicely. Rust poisoning might be a problem, though.

Appraise: The duelling dagger is about six inches long and a couple of inches wide. It is made of steel and could be used as a weapon of type dagger.

Description: Fencing in Genua is a popular pastime amongst the suicidally inclined upper classes, and duels are fought with a variety of weapons. For those not inclined towards the elegance of the rapier or epee, fencing daggers like this are a very popular choice. It is a flat-bladed dagger that tapers towards a double-edge along the length of the curve towards its point... this gives the dagger an impressive heft for parrying, yet also provides an additional sharpened edge for inflicting damage.
Appraise: The howondalandish throwing knife is about nine inches long and three inches wide. It is made of steel and could be used as a weapon of type dagger.
Description: From one of the more remote Howondalandish tribes, this knife doesn't look throwable, much less a knife. From a short handle, spiky steel blades jut out at all angles, sure to deliver a nasty shock to whoever gets hit with it.
Appraise: The hunting knife is about nine inches long and a couple of inches wide. It is made of steel and could be used as a weapon of type dagger.
Description: The handle of this knife is crafted from a hardwood and has grooves for easy gripping. Leading up to the blade is a polished steel guard designed to keep the user's hand from sliding toward the blade after a deep incision. The blade itself is horribly sharp and serrated on the lower portion of the blade leading up to a slightly curved point and a sharpened back edge. This knife looks well suited to a lifetime of skinning animals or an hour in Ankh-Morpork.
Appraise: The iron hunting knife is about a foot long and a couple of inches wide. It is made of iron and could be used as a weapon of type dagger.
Description: This is a large iron hunting knife. The dark iron blade is partly serrated, and the ash handle curves inward for a better grip. It seems like an ideal tool to skin dead (or live) animals with.
Appraise: The jagged sparkly knife is about six inches long and a couple of inches wide. It is made of diamond and could be used as a weapon of type dagger.
Description: This is a fairly bulky knife. One edge is very jagged and rough, but the whole knife sparkles, and it looks like it would be very hard to damage. The handle is white and smooth. This might be just the sort of thing to keep on you to help you out of a tricky spot, or maybe to open envelopes, though it looks like it would probably shred the contents, too.
Appraise: The oak-hilted jambiya is about a foot long and three
inches wide. It is made of Klatchian steel and steel and could be used as a
weapon of type dagger.
Description: Custom
Appraise: The kaiken dirk is about six inches long and a couple of inches wide. It is made of steel and could be used as a weapon of type dagger.

Appraise: The katar is about nine inches long and a couple of inches wide. It is made of steel and could be used as a weapon of type dagger.
Description: This weapon is peculiar for two reasons. Firstly, the handle is comprised of two parallel bars connected by crosspieces, and appears to have been forged as a single piece. The handle forms a right angle to the blade, providing much more power behind a thrust. The blade is double-edged and tapers to a thin point. It has also been blackened to keep it from glinting. This is not a weapon you want to be on the wrong side of.
Appraise: The khanjar is about a foot long and a couple of inches wide. It is made of steel and bone and could be used as a weapon of type dagger.
Description: A thick steel knife that in the middle, curves around at right angles to form a vicious hook in the sharp blade. The handle is made from bone and is carved with both wondrous and ghastly figures that have then been inlaid in silver.
Appraise: The Klatchian steel dirk is about a foot and a half long and three inches wide. It is made of klatchian steel and could be used as a weapon of type dagger.
Description: This is a very long, curving knife with a wickedly sharp point. It is made of Klatchian steel.
Appraise: The knife is about six inches long and a couple of inches wide. It is made of steel and could be used as a weapon of type dagger
Description: This is a medium-sized knife, the sort of thing someone might keep in a boot to ward off a would-be attacker. You just have to hope that it's not then used to prepare your dinner.
Appraise: The leaf-bladed dagger is about a foot long and a couple of inches wide. It is made of steel and could be used as a weapon of type dagger

Appraise: The poniard is about nine inches long and a couple of inches wide. It is made of steel and could be used as a weapon of type dagger.
Description: This is a slender, triangular blade, with a comfortable leather-wrapped hilt and a wickedly sharp point. It looks to be a weapon designed for silent, quick deaths, which is probably why it is an Assassin's speciality weapon.

Desription: This is a largish looking knife. The hilt is wrapped around many times with a thin strip of red cloth.
Appraise: The rubber knife is about nine inches long and three inches wide. It is made of rubber and could be used as a weapon of type dagger.

Appraise: The ruby hilted dagger is about nine inches long and a couple of inches wide. It is made of steel and could be used as a weapon of type dagger.
Desription: The short, fairly thick and double edged blade of this dagger looks pretty much like any other, except that this particular one has an odd sun- bright red hue about it. The hue is augmented by a sun-bright red stone which resides in the small pommel of the dagger and appears to sparkle with its own light. While the blade and pommel shine sun-bright red, the handle itself doesn't, being a deep blood red colour instead, the handle is a plain, everyday dagger handle with a leather criss-crossed grip.
Appraise: The scalpel is about six inches long and an inch wide. It is made of steel and could be used as a weapon of type dagger.
Desription: This delicate, but extremely sharp, knife would normally be used by a doctor for performing surgery. However since most doctors in Ankh-Morpork can't even spell surgery, let alone perform it, it's probably best not to think about that.

Appraise: The short wooden stake is about six inches long and an inch wide. It is made of wood and could be used as a weapon of type dagger.

Appraise: The silver dagger is about nine inches long and a couple of inches wide. It is made of silver and could be used as a weapon of type dagger.
Desription: This is a short silver dagger, exquisitely dwarven-cast and wrought from pure silver. It gleams faintly blueish in the light, which highlights the delicate facets of the carved falcon on the hilt. The pommel is made up of three tiny rounded knobs. It looks rather useless as a weapon; silver would surely get damaged too easily to use in combat. There are situations, though, where it might come in useful.
Appraise: The silver moon dragon dagger is about six inches long and a couple of inches wide. It is made of silver and could be used as a weapon of type dagger.
Desription: This is a slender steel blade that curves slightly upwards towards a sharp point.

inches wide. It is made of steel and could be used as a weapon of type
dagger.

on the other so that a sharp triangle of pain is formed. The bone handle
has intricate sigils carved upon it, they serve both to balance the weapon
perfectly for throwing, and for extra grip.
Appraise: The traditional D'reg wedding knife is about six inches long and a couple of inches wide. It is made of klatchian steel and could be used as a weapon of type dagger
Desription: Short, slightly curved, and sharpened to a razor's edge on both sides of the blade, the klatchian steel blade of this ivory-hilted knife carries a pattern of blooming flowers in the metal. No mere ornament, it is traditionally worn by a D'reg bride to signify that she does not come unarmed and helpless to her marriage, and that anyone who tries to interrupt the ceremony is going to regret it
Appraise: The white handled ceremonial bronze knife is about a foot and a half long and three inches wide. It is made of bronze and could be used as a weapon of type dagger.
Desription: This is a ceremonial knife, for use in magic rituals. Its ornate handle is made of ivory and its long bronze blade has been carved with mystic runes.
Swords
Appraise: The antique short sword is about three feet long and four inches wide. It is made of steel and could be used as a weapon of type sword.
Desription: This appears to be a rather old short sword. The hilt is wound with red leather and its end is shaped like an owl sitting on a shield. On the blade itself the words "Royal Ankhe-Morepork Citie Watch & Ward" are engraved on one side and on the other "FABRICATI DIEM, PVNCTI AGVNT CELERITER"

Appraise: The black bokken is about five feet long and about six inches wide. It is made of wood and could be used as a weapon of type sword.
Desription: This is a bokken, a wooden practice sword, painted black. It is shaped and balanced like a full-tang katana but instead of the usual steel blade is a rounded wooden edge to prevent any lethal damage being done in training. It's quite hefty though and would probably make a serviceable offensive weapon.
Appraise: The blackened dao is about two feet long and three inches wide. It is made of steel and could be used as a weapon of type sword.
Desription: The sharp edge of this dao has a crescent-moon curve to it while the back edge only curves slightly at the point. The hilt has been wrapped with strong black silk and a circular guard protects the hand. The dao is blackened to reduce reflection of light, an absolute must for those hiding in the shadows.
Appraise: The blackened katana is about two and a half feet long and three inches wide. It is made of steel and could be used as a weapon of type sword.
Desription: Tightly bound, black leather criss-crosses the hilt of this slightly curved sword. A simple square cross guard separates the handle from the blade, which is crafted from high quality folded Auriental steel. The blade has an almost indistinct razor edge and is blackened to minimise glare.
Appraise: The blackened ninjato is about a foot and a half long and a couple of inches wide. It is made of steel and could be used as a weapon of type sword.
Desription: Much shorter than a katana but no less deadly, this ninjato is ideal for fighting in confined spaces. The blade is sharp and has been blackened to stop it glinting, making it the perfect weapon for a ninja hidden in the shadows
Appraise: The blackened wakizashi is about two feet long and a couple of inches wide. It is made of steel and could be used as a weapon of type sword.
Desription: Made for close quarter combat, this weapon is ideal for street fighting. The wakizashi has undergone the same folding technique that every katana is put through, making it extremely sharp and strong for its size. The blade has been blackened to prevent shine.

Desription: This is a steel blade, and used to be attached to one of Mad Hamish's wheels.

Desription: This is a light cavalry sabre. It is made of high-grade steel and has a flat, slightly curved blade, primarily designed for cutting strokes, but also well-suited for powerful thrusts. A guard of curved brass bars encloses the wielder's hand. Not the most elegant of weapons, but preferred by some officers nevertheless.
Appraise: The ceremonial sword is about nine inches long and a couple of inches wide. It is made of steel and could be used as a weapon of type sword.
Desription: A highly ceremonial sword, crafted from the finest of metals by the most skilled of artisans. The slightly serrated blade is legendary in its keeness, coveted in its importance to the ninja and unrivalled in its beauty. Highly polished serrations lace the edge of the blade's length whilst a gorgeously lacquered pearwood pommel, bound with the finest of cord, provides a sturdy hilt. This sort of blade is of little use on the battlefield and is used by ninja in the seppuku ritual.
Appraise: The colichemarde is about four feet long and a couple of inches wide. It is made of klatchian steel and could be used as a weapon of type sword.
Desription: When it debuted in the Century of the Stunned Ferret, the colichemarde revolutionized the way in which duels were fought. The blade is lighter but stronger than that of a rapier, dramatically tapered to a fine point for piercing attacks, yet reinforced near the hilt for parrying.
Appraise: The copper short sword is about two feet long and a couple of inches wide. It is made of copper and could be used as a weapon of type sword.
Desription: This Djelian short sword is made of copper. The tapering blade is very sharp and totally straight.

Appraise: The black steel short sword is about two feet long and a couple of inches wide. It is made of steel and could be used as a weapon of type sword.
Desription: custom

Appraise: The cutlass is about two feet long and four inches wide. It is made of steel and could be used as a weapon of type sword.
Desription: This cutlass has a short, wide, slightly curved blade. It's the sort of thing you'd expect a sailor on a warship to use.
Appraise: The dao is about two feet long and three inches wide. It is made of steel and could be used as a weapon of type sword.
Desription: The blade of this auriental short sword is short and flares widely toward its end, summing itself up into two incredibly sharp rectangular points. A circular notch has been cut just back from the the topmost corner of the blade, and there is a golden ring where the blade meets the stem to protect the hands from slipping. The thick hilt has been wrapped in black silk cord.
Appraise: The duelling sword is about three and a half feet long and a couple of inches wide. It is made of steel and could be used as a weapon of type sword.
Desription: A highly decorative weapon with a jewelled hilt and engraved blade, this sword looks more for show than combat. No doubt it makes an excellent weapon for duelling with.
Appraise: The epee is about three feet long and a couple of inches wide. It is made of steel and could be used as a weapon of type sword.
Desription: A smooth, lustrous sheen glistens softly up and down the fine blade of this expertly crafted instrument of socially acceptable murder, giving it a classy air of polite lethality. The blade is round at the base, drawing the eye up the fatally sleek steel to a needle sharp point, and the guard that protects the hand is covered in ornate scrollwork, covering the wearer's hand in tiny silver leaves. Overall, it looks more than capable of executing some clean cut maiming.
Appraise: The falcata is about two feet long and about six inches wide. It is made of steel and could be used as a weapon of type sword.
Desription: This weapon, featuring a forward curved and widened blade, places a great percentage of the blade's working weight at the upper third of the blade length. Not at all subtle or even the least bit "graceful", this sword is very effective when it comes to overhand chops and other short and quick movements.
Appraise: The falchion is about three feet long and four inches wide. It is made of steel and could be used as a weapon of type sword.
Desription: The blade of this ornate yet savage looking short sword is long and thick, broadening from the hilt before tapering into a sharp, wicked looking point. Fancy scrollwork traces intricate, silvery lines up and down the blade and hilt, which is made of a fine hard redwood. This weapon is clearly designed for hacking at one's enemies, and made for the discerning gentleman hacker.
Appraise: The fine sabre is about four and a half feet long and a couple of inches wide. It is made of steel and could be used as a weapon of type sword.
Desription: This is one of the fabled sabres made in the frozen caverns of the Hub. Each blade can take up to five years to forge on account of the incredible edge they have. It is so sharp you could cut the wind with it. The design of the hilt affords fine tip-control which would enable you to quickly flick the blade at opponents as well as delivering fine slices and thrusts. The only drawback is that the blade is quite fragile and in unskilled hands could easily break.
Appraise: The foil is about three and a half feet long and an inch wide. It is made of steel and could be used as a weapon of type sword
Desription: Used by a multitude of fencing enthusiasts, this foil is little more than a long, thin, flat strip of metal. Forged under the strictest standards of quality control by the Ankh-Morpork Fencing Club, the handle is bound with large strips of leather, while the pommel is plated steel and weighted for exact balance. It would normally be tipped with a small steel ball, but obviously someone who is not safety-conscious has removed it and sharpened the point.
Appraise: The gladius is about two feet long and a couple of inches wide. It is made of steel and could be used as a weapon of type sword.
Desription:This is a Tsortean gladius of the type commonly used by the army. It is a couple of feet long and is very effective for slashing at people from behind the Tsortean shield.
Appraise: The jiann is about four feet long and three inches wide. It is made of steel and could be used as a weapon of type sword.
Desription: This jiann is a long, thin, double-edged sword which flares slightly as the blade reaches the handle. The hardwood pommel is covered with a turned down brass cross guard and wrapped up with braided black cord. The sword looks equally adept at both slashing and stabbing.
Appraise: The katana is about three and a half feet long and three inches wide. It is made of steel and could be used as a weapon of type sword.
Desription: This slightly curved auriental long sword is perfectly balanced with a blade of the finest quality. It looks extremely sharp and strong.

Appraise: The kodachi is about two and a half feet long and three inches wide. It is made of steel and could be used as a weapon of type sword.
Desription: The kodachi is a very short sword, about the size of a rolled-up newspaper or a long truncheon. The tempered blade is extremely straight and sharp, and although the sword itself is short, with a skilled wielder the handling of the kodachi is so surprisingly quick that it sometimes surpasses a long sword. A simple black hardwood pommel wrapped in pale yellow cord finishes the deadly kodachi in subtle simplicity.
Appraise: The long blade is about three and a half feet long and a couple of inches wide. It is made of steel and could be used as a weapon of type sword.
Desription: This is a long straight sword with an ornate wooden handle. It seems to be held together by bands of cloth woven tightly around the hilt in an intricate fashion. It is deceptively strong.
Appraise: The long sword is about three and a half feet long and three inches wide. It is made of steel and could be used as a weapon of type sword. It is in excellent condition.
Desription: A nice long sword. It is made of steel and has sharp edges. Be careful how you handle it

Appraise: The Morporkian gladius is about two and a half feet long and a couple of inches wide. It is made of steel and could be used as a weapon of type sword.
Desription: This is a finely crafted Morporkian gladius. The short blade is specifically designed to be used in short thrusting motions from behind a large shield. Despite its name, this isn't a brick in a sock, but an expertly balanced sword. It represents one of the pinnacles of Morporkian military achievement. It isn't intricately designed, going instead for a simplistic minimalist look. These weapons, when used in massed ranks, are terrifying to fight against.
Appraise: The newmoon sword is about five feet long and a couple of inches wide. It is made of steel and could be used as a weapon of type sword.
Desription: If you took a rapier, and twisted the blade into a newmoon shape, result would look much like this weapon. The unusual shape would make it quite unpredictable to both the wielder and the opponent in a fight, unless one or both were accustomed to such exotic weapons.
Appraise: The ninjato is about two and a half feet long and three inches wide. It is made of steel and could be used as a weapon of type sword.
Desription: This is a smaller, straight version of the katana. It is favoured by the auriental assassin because it is more easily hidden under clothing than the larger katana.
Appraise: -
Desription: -
Appraise: The prop sword is about four feet long and a couple of inches wide. It is made of wood and could be used as a weapon of type sword.
Desription: This is a prop sword. From a distance it looks everything a sword should be, but up close it's obviously far too flimsy and blunt to be of any use whatsoever.
Appraise: The quartermoon sword is about two and a half feet long and about nine inches wide. It is made of steel and could be used as a weapon of type sword.
Desription: This weapon has been shaped to resemble a quarter moon, with a one-edged crescent-shaped blade. Even the handle preserves a sort of symmetry in it, curving in the opposite direction. However, this is probably more to make the weapon balanced than out of any aesthetic considerations.
Appraise: The rapier is about four feet long and an inch wide. It is made of steel and could be used as a weapon of type sword.
Desription: This is a long and slender-bladed sword. Emphasising the thrust over the cut, this rapier is double-bladed and sharpened to fine points on either of its sides. A complex leather-bound hilt completes its thin blade, which looks as though it would be very adept at both slashing and stabbing.
Appraise: The ruby-hilted rapier is about four feet long and an inch wide. It is made of steel and could be used as a weapon of type sword.
Desription: This rapier is made of polished steel. A tiny ruby set in silver is attached to the tip of its pommel, providing a beautiful contrast to the black leather-wrapping around the rest of the handle.
Appraise: The scimitar is about three and a half feet long and three inches wide. It is made of steel and could be used as a weapon of type sword.
Desription: his weapon is about the same size as a broad sword, but with a curve to the blade and only one cutting edge. It is quite heavy, and whatever it lacks in sharpness it could probably make up in sheer momentum.
Appraise: The shamshir is about three and a half feet long and four inches wide. It is made of klatchian steel and could be used as a weapon of type sword.
Desription: The blade of this darkened Klatchian steel sword is deeply curved and tapers continuously down to a viciously sharp point. The hilt is shaped like a snake with emeralds set deeply into the eye sockets. The gently undulating handle is shaped to fit perfectly into the curve of a hand.
Appraise: The short scimitar is about a foot and a half long and three inches wide. It is made of steel and could be used as a weapon of type sword.
Desription: The curved blade of this weapon is too long for it to be a dagger but a bit short for a long sword. It looks well-balanced and deadly, able to be wielded with ease in close quarters and inflict some serious pain on an opponent.
Appraise: The short sword is about two feet long and three inches wide. It is made of steel and could be used as a weapon of type sword. It is in excellent condition.
Desription: This nice sharp piece of steel is a couple of feet long. It won't give you the reach or heft of a long sword

Desription: This nice sharp piece of steel is a couple of feet long. It is designed primarily as a thrusting weapon to be used in conjunction with a shield.
Appraise: The sidesword is about three and a half feet long and a couple of inches wide. It is made of steel and could be used as a weapon of type sword.
Desription: This cut-and-thrust sword seems to be something of a compromise between a rapier and a traditional cutting sword. It has a rather narrow blade, but wider in profile and thinner in cross-section than a rapier to preserve its cutting ability. It has a complex hilt, with forward- and back-swept quillons and a knucklebow, and finger rings alongside the ricasso. If a long sword is too old-fashioned or uncivilized, but a rapier too frilly and fancy, this might be the sword for you.
Appraise: The silver long sword is about three and a half feet long and a couple of inches wide. It is made of silver and could be used as a weapon of type sword.
Desription: This lovely, gleaming long sword is made of about four feet of solid silver. It is exquisitely crafted, obviously dwarf-wrought, and is absolutely beautiful. An engraved pattern extends up the blade, curling delicately down to wrap around the hilt and gleaming leather-wrapped handle. It looks too delicate to use as a real weapon, although there are some certain foes it might be useful against.
Appraise: The silver short sword is about two feet long and a couple of inches wide. It is made of silver and could be used as a weapon of type sword.
Desription: This is a beautifully carved short sword, apparently made from solid silver. Its shaft is engraved with lovely curling tendril patterns, and the silver leather-wrapped hilt is wrought into the shape of a hawk. It looks uncomfortable and too easily damaged to use as a real weapon, unless you were up against someone, or something, which was susceptible to that sort of thing...
Appraise: The slender blade is about two and a half feet long and an inch wide. It is made of steel and could be used as a weapon of type sword.
Desription: This is a slender blade of steel, having a triangular cross-section with the faces concave to reduce weight. It doesn't really have an edge to it, but it tapers to a wickedly sharp point. The hilt is a simple length of mahogany with no guard, of one piece with the pommel, which is a smooth rounded knob, as one might find on the end of a cane.
Appraise: The steel-tempered katana is about three feet long and a couple of inches wide. It is made of steel and could be used as a weapon of type sword.
Desription: This is an expertly-crafted katana, perfectly balanced and razor sharp like all katanas, but steel-tempered to a great degree of quality making it unusually strong and durable. Its hilt is bound in simple black leather straps.
Appraise: The swept-hilt rapier is about four feet long and an inch wide. It is made of steel and could be used as a weapon of type sword.
Desription: This rapier successfully combines the ideals of elegance and function. The long quillons curve gracefully forward and back, and the hand is protected by a series of metal rings that embrace the forte of the blade, and at the handle sweep backwards into a graceful knuckle-bow. The blade itself is polished steel, and the handle is smooth ivory, ending with a fluted silver pommel.
Appraise: The sword of guaranteed sphinx killing is about two feet long and a couple of inches wide. It is made of copper and could be used as a weapon of type sword
Desription: Well, okay, so it's quite small, but it does feel like it might be a sword of guaranteed sphinx killing
Appraise: The unfinished sword is about five feet long and a couple of inches wide. It is made of steel and could be used as a weapon of type sword.
Desription: This is or will be, a long sword. It is at the moment only half finished, but it still makes a deadly weapon. Its rough edges could certainly do some damage to someone.
Appraise: The wakizashi is about two feet long and a couple of inches wide. It is made of steel and could be used as a weapon of type sword.
Desription: This auriental short sword is the perfect companion to a katana to form the Dai-sho or long-short. The weapon has a perfect balance and a blade of the finest quality, extremely sharp and strong.
Appraise: The watered-steel long sword is about three and a half feet long and a couple of inches wide. It is made of steel and could be used as a weapon of type sword.
Desription: This long, slender sword has a simple cruciform hilt wrapped in black sharkskin for a good grip. The blade is made from the finest pattern-welded steel, the folded and hammered layers of metal resembling the flowing surface of a forest stream. It is of high quality, evidently manufactured by expert hands.
Appraise: The xiou li jian is about five feet long and a couple of inches wide. It is made of steel and wood and could be used as a weapon of type sword.
Desription: This single edged long sword flares slighly towards the tip to balance its weight. An oval shaped brass guard rests just above the hardwood hilt, which is covered in thin cotton cord and ends in a brass pommel.

Desription: This huge double-edged broadsword seems like the perfect weapon for the discerning barbarian hero to use to hack through the hordes before him. It is heavily dented from decades of use, and it is no longer the weapon it once was.
Appraise: The battered iron sword is about three and a half feet long and four inches wide. It is made of iron and could be used as a weapon of type heavy-sword.
Desription: This two-handed sword has seen better days. It's battered and heavily notched, but someone has spared the time to give it a good rag-and-polish. There are probably better weapons you could use for the time-honoured task of slicing people into little bits.
Appraise: The battered nodachi is about six and a half feet long and three inches wide. It is made of steel and wood and could be used as a weapon of type heavy-sword.
Desription: This is a huge auriental sword, over six feet in length. It is slightly curved and well balanced with a blade which looks like it used to be of the finest quality. At the moment, however, it is battered and even dares to be slightly bent in places. There is also a huge notch that has been knocked out of the blade toward its tip.
Appraise: The chocolate sword is about four and a half feet long and three inches wide. It is made of chocolate and could be used as a weapon of type heavy-sword.
Desription: Now this is a weapon! A bastard sword, painstakingly and intricately crafted out of the finest dark chocolate. It is a deep reddish-brown colour and looks like it tastes divine. The handle is sugar coated (it melts while you maim, not in your hands) and there is a large toffee encrusted into the end. Yum!
Appraise: The curved sword is about five feet long and four inches wide. It is made of klatchian steel and could be used as a weapon of type heavy-sword.
Desription: A heavy, single edged sword of good Klatchian steel. This would cost both owner and opponent an arm and a leg, in different senses, of course.
Appraise: The curved two-handed sword is about three and a half feet long and four inches wide. It is made of steel and could be used as a weapon of type heavy-sword.
Desription: The two-handed chopper features a wooden handle with no hand guard. The long single-edged blade flares near the tip, however it isn't rounded or simply pointed like most blades. Instead of the tip curving outward, it curves inward in three gentle arcs, forming two interior points. Its shape is ideal for splitting helmets, and the soft contents within them.
Appraise: the custom greatsword is about five feet long and about six inches wide. It is made of silver and could be used as a weapon of type heavy-sword
Desription: -
Appraise: The delicate sword is about four and a half feet long and three inches wide. It is made of silver and could be used as a weapon of type heavy-sword.
Desription: The long, gleaming blade is slender and elegantly leaf-shaped, while the double hilts divide into three strands on each side and sweep back around the hands, twisting in an elongated and stylish lattice. It looks showy, impressive, fragile and terribly impractical. It seems like the perfect thing to take on a quest... as long as it isn't actually used for much.
Appraise: The duan jian is about five feet long and about six inches wide. It is made of steel and bronze and could be used as a weapon of type heavy-sword.
Desription: Called a duan jian, this broadsword's blade is double-sided and so thick that it is nearly triangular. The handle of the duan is made of moulded bronze and has been inlaid with tiny golden circles, triangles and squares which form an eye-pleasing pattern.
