how the hell did i not see this sooner , i love the look of this weapon and i always liked swords designed to break others from real life history even the vikings used a special angled edge on the back of axes specifically designed to cripple enemy swords,,,, sorry im rambling but happy to see something like this :)
history nerd here. Just want to point out, that these (usually Daggersized Weapons) (w/)could not be used to actually break other blades (even if you were so powerful to bring up the force in theory, your opponent would probably just drop the Sword (cuz to much force to hold it). These things were more likely to actually be Sword catchers (so you use these teeth to catch the sword with it and than stab with a second weapon or just go for the good ol' Boot to Nuts Tactics) which works pretty fine with them in like seven out of ten parries. (the problem and reason Swordcatchers never became popular are the oter three that usually and up in being totally open to the enemy and therefore pretty stabable.)
Okay so, beautiful sword breaker model, however, is there any way to class it as a dagger not a sword? The sword breaker was a parrying dagger used in tandem with a rapier, and this is more like a short sword. A beautiful short sword, just not a dagger. You do amazing work, not trying to complain or insult. just curious, I tried to edit it in the CK and it was invisible in game.
Hey man, this is very impressive work, and it's nice to see such a faithful recreation of a weapon you don't see all that often. One detail, though, is that the teeth are supposed to face outwards, away from the wielder; getting one of these to catch a blade is tricky enough, but doing it with the false edge might as well be impossible. Mind you, I'm only guided by what I see in your screenshots, and maybe the teeth do face outwards when wielded in the off-hand, but maybe you'd like to take this into consideration.
Indeed, this is how it is supposed to be - Interesting that you call it faithful without knowing what an actual swordbreaker looks like, no? I'm not here to insult, but from my understanding & all the sources I've seen, the teeth have always been on the short edge, so I don't know where you're coming from with the assumption with the teeth on the long edge. Again, I appologise if I've missed something, but that's how it's been from all I've understood.
