  3. Qiang red “feathers” were also allegedly used to keep opponent’s blood from dripping into the wielder’s hand, making his grip slippery.

  4. the teeager inside of me finds Scottish broadsword, and Swiss saber to be the coolest swords.
    look them up for eyegasm.

  5. I’d take a European Kriegsmesser or a Turkish Kilij over a katana any day of the damn week. Both of these weapons do what the katana does but better in addition to actually being useful defensive weapons.
