What is the Elven Curved Blade??


Advice


I've been trying to find a single decent picture, or even a single GOOD description of what the weapon is supposed to be like. I am assuming it is similar to the Katana (long, single edge, razor sharp with a gentle curve to the blade) although unlike the katana the few (really bad) pics I've seen of it suggest the handle also possess a reverse curve to it (like a long exaggerated "S").

The other distinction I'm assuming (again going back to the really bad pictures) suggested a straight cross hilt instead of the circular hand guard of the katana.

Can anyone confirm this? Or perhaps know a a single decent picture of the weapon?

ALTERNATE: has the curved blade been based off of the weapons seen in the lord of the rings movies? If so that is fine, as at least it would allow a solid visual reference.

I've been assuming it's based off the elven armies' weapons in Fellowship, yeah.

(If I'm being honest, though, I miss the old elven court blade.)

That being said, there is official art of the weapon on page 27 of Ultimate Equipment. ^_^

Thank you! I'm checking that out now.


Ultimately, it looks like whatever you want it to look like.
