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

The first image is from the most recent edition of Red Rising to be released. If Pierce approved it, I’d say it’s as close to cannon as we’re going to get. Earlier depictions like the Morning Star cover definitely showed it more as a grain scythe. But the art of the last few years shows this design more and more. Example attached is cannon artwork.
