Medieval Swords
Two
things come to mind at the mention of "Medieval Sword". The
first is a sword from the middle-ages and the second is an evil sword
that is scary to wield.
A
medieval sword is what you think of when you hear the quote "I'm
just gonna have to go Medieval on your @$$ !"
Medieval sword is a bit of a misnomer. There is no such proper name as
a Medieval sword. But there are swords that are very medieval. These swords
are typically of a fantastic nature with unusual lines and unusual shapes.
They aren't the kind of swords that would have been actually used in the
middle ages but they have become quite a popular collectibe item in the
past few years based solely on their craftsmanship and their aesthetic
sensibility.they do invoke a "Medieval" almost evil feeling
.
There are two basic types
of Medieval Swords:
Unusual Blade Shapes:
There is a certain shock factor when wielding a sword that has an unusual,
and intimidating shape. Medieval swords with unusual shapes are often
the choice of evil creatures in books and movies. Rarely will a good guy
wield this type of sword.
Unusual Handle Shapes:
Typically when a sword has a very medieval handl it denotes that the wielder
is a "Good Guy" but not just any good guy - a good guy with
a real "let's get down to business" attitude. This isn't always
the case though. Often times a bad guy will wield a medieval sword with
an unusual handle as an indicator of his evil intelligence and leadership.

The
Medieval Ballistic Chopper Sword - This blade epitomizes Evil. The
corrugated tip brings up some imagined carnage. There are deep grooves
that run the length of the blade. This allows blood to freely flow off.
This
is the Uruk-Hai
Sword as used in the Lord of the Rings Movie. It is a nasty and truly
Medieval Sword. There is a certain scariness to it's simplicity. You can
almost imagine it being swung then sticking right into a foe. Then the
foe can be pulled closer for that up close and personal battle.
This
is truly a Medieval Sword! It has a very unique blade shape. This is called
"The
Fire Demon Sword" And one can only imagine that the serrations
at the base portion of the blade were designed to impale then not be easily
removed. Or to cause massive damage when the blade was pulled out.
Unusual Handle Shapes:
Typically when a sword has a very medieval handle it denotes that the
weilder is a "Good Guy" but not just any good guy. A good guy
that can kick some serious back side. This isn't always the case though.
Sometimes this type of sword is wielded by a bad guy that has a lot of
intelligence and power.
A
Medieval Skull Sword - This sword is a good example of the variation
of handle in Medieval Swords. It has a great skull with lightning bolts.
Tribal
Manslayer Sword - This sword shows a very unusual handguard configuration.
The blade is pretty traditional.
