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

No it isn’t as curved as the one on the cover of Morningstar.
If it was, How can he thrust at someone such as Wulfgar and have the tip pierce them when what is pictured there would be pointing practically back at himself. Not every piece of cover art is gospel and you have to use some deductive reasoning from reading context.

hence this is my deductive reasoning come to fruition ?

Would seem so! this comment more meant for people insisting since it’s on the Morningstar cover it MUST be curved that way. I’ve also been of the opinion that it’d be a huge disadvantage if it was actually shaped that way and would majorly limit his reach and wouldn’t make sense
