I've tried to come up with a design for Claydatoo's sword. I mainly got inspired by Conan the Barbarian's sword from the 1982 movie and a sword which I saw at a local museum. It's rather hard to come up with a convincing sword since fantasy swords tend to look too fantastic and too fancy to be believable weapons. But the other problem is that swords which look exactly like the weapons of our ancestors take us out of a fantasy world since they are obviously objects from actual history. I think that the Lord of the Rings movie did a wonderful job in this regard. The weapons aren't too stylized but they are also not just blank imitations of historical swords. They have their own look and feel but still come off as believable weapons.
