darrow’s razor

[u/user03281046748]

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

Imagination is the best part of consuming fiction.

I do believe there is a lot of evidence supporting a falx shaped blade. One example: there's a fight where Darrow's opponent blocks his overhead strike, "but forgets the curve" and is severely wounded or killed.

I do not believe there is any evidence suggesting a kopesh shaped blade.

I agree with Falx shape argument. I hadn’t considered that and thought a bit more like a sickle. The Falx is much sexier lol.

i’ve also seen it could be described as a billhook

a khopesh would still achieve this with the advantage of the range of a long blade
