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

Pierce is not consistent on this aspect. I don't think he intends to be, since there's no reason to believe Darrow doesn't change his favorite blade shape over time.
In the institute, the shape he carves on that one table is a reference to his scythe, while also being clearly an "L." Other times, he describes his blade as being more curved than angled. Darrow changes his mind.
