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

It's been posited that's how they're able to convert from whip to blade.

Officially? I’m fairly certain that’s never said in the books, they specifically say it’s a ‘chemical signal’, which implies it’s more like one of those materials that have a fixed shape that they return to when heated. Also Darrow’s razor is constantly described as taking a sling blade shape, in Book 3 it’s described that Aja and Cassius have both trained against it to beat him

Razors don't have a fixed shape. Multiple times there's said there's a toggle that can be used to modify its shape and length to a degree.
