I’m sure at least one of these has been tried/made before…

100% on that Zweihander, the double handle hilt move the center of balance back which is ideal, though admittedly not as good as simply just a longer handle.

Lower center one was a tennis racket in the late 90s iirc.

Now try reverse grip!

That middle one is some anime shit.

I think I’m going to steal that middle design for my Numenera campaign

> zweihander

“Sword that is extra long and held in two hands by the grip”

Top left would have really good tip control and thrust-ability.

Top left somewhat resembles a real life technique called half-swording.

Fun fact: “Zweihänder” is just German for “two-hand-er”.

That’s because it’s just a weird spear

Yeah it’s like halfgrip but you don’t need to grab the blade

Somebody show this to Trudy & Doug of Oglaf.

Double handed bastard sword.

Bottom left: Empire greatswords vibe/stance.

True, but no one would ever put a handle there. At least not jutting out to the side like that.

I never thought of bullpup swords. Genius Ai. Genius.

Hmm. You have a good point there.
