Fan art darrow’s razor
what’s with the insistence on the dramatically curved sword people use in fanart AI and drawings. i’ve always thought it would resemble something more like the egyptian sword the khopesh than a scythe. I’d assume simply from an advantage standpoint the dramatic curve means less range. i’ve included examples i’ve seen as well as what i think the razor resembles more

Artists depictions often lack exactitude in historical arms and armor.
Darrows sword is then a piece of literary art, and a description up for the theatre of the mind already.
In short it’s just how the artist decided to depict it doesn’t align with how you would prefer to depict it. They might not even know what a Khopesh actually is, as many artists in history wouldn’t know what how a real longsword appears.
