I want to believe that's a normal proportioned hilt and just a comically over sized blade.

That'll do it...

The edge look really strange though. Does it look rounded to you?

Also it looks like a cheap stainless steel fantasy sword...except it's an actual sword.

Yes.

But spamming pictures of swords, however, neither initiates nor contributes to the main focal point of this thread.

Well it led to me and Nirv having a lengthy debate on skype yesterday. Know that no opinions were changed. His fault.

Seriously though, there is plenty of pre-modern discussion here that goes way more in depth than most of the modern discussions. Just get Aqiz and here and I can prove it by asking him about comparing ancient swords that did in fact fight each other.

Actual discussion: Rapier vs falchion. Keep in mind that if you say falchion I reserve the right to laugh at you and call you names.

EDIT: And please keep in mind that a rapier blade is not thinner than your little finger. Just saying.

I bet I could chop right into that lightsaber with a falchion and the tip will keep going after it's cut off and cleave his head asunder.
