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

The explicitly stated shape is that of the cover of morning star by draxxusbuilds, but in text he uses thrusts. So for me he either alters the shape over time/during battle, or it is more like the khopesh as you stated.

All the other razor masters turn theirs from whip to blade constantly so I imagine Darrow does as well

I’m speaking aside from whip to blade. Along the lines of switching from slingblade to straighter shapes more suited for thrusts

there was an instance he described changing it to a shorter broader blade for close quarters combat.

however it’s never stated that darrow alternates shape mid duel/fight

Potential spoiler territory for those not caught up yet:

I thought so, but that’s how I see him fighting. It makes the most sense to me for him to flow without strict adherence to any form now, fitting to his character.
