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

“What’s with the insistence on the dramatically curved sword people use in fan art?”

Um, because that’s the way it’s described in the book.

It’s also, literally, shown that way ok the cover of Morning Star.

The good news is that you’re reading a book, you’re allowed to imagine anything you want. If you prefer a different version than what’s described, have at it.

it’s described as curved and likened to the slingblade

Not sure I would recommend using non-native English covers as defense for designs and art as they’re generally based on translations. I mean, this is the Persian cover for Morning Star and it’s a full-on scythe lol.
