Alik'r Blades

About this image

In keeping with my Negotiator Gladiarius (sword merchant) title, even more silver-plated scimitars have arrived in the Secret Of The Silver Blades collection.

This time I went with a Turkish theme, and its Polish derivatives, for those more into playing an Alik'r warrior with a more historical blade than Bethesda's silly cartoonish "scimitar".

Well, that or playing a certain white-haired, dual-wielding dark elf ;)

Unlike the previous ones, these handle more like a regular vanilla sword than like a rapier. Having a choice is good, right?

Also, I went with this blade model because the yelman (flared back of the sword near the tip) is actually sharpened, which should make the back-slash animations in some finisher moves (especially Dance Of Death, which I would HIGHLY recommend) look more realistic than with a pure backsword.
