I personally am just going to be making a spiked zweihander, or possibly an executioner’s sword. I think it’s things like this that we should take our own creative liberties with.
Are you completely sure about this one? I’m pretty sure that the term ‘claymore’ refers the Scottish version of a b*stard sword, usually an English or German blade with a Scottish hilt, traditionally with downward swept quillions. I’m not totally sure, I could be wrong.
Technically the term ‘broadsword’ could apply to several different swords, although I think traditionally it’s what a double-edged basket-hilted sword would be called. tbh I’ve never once in my life heard of the Chinese variant.
