Isn't that Dainsleif?

Dainsleif is considered to be a demonic sword of darkness, it was forged by the dwarwes to some viking king.

Once it has been drawn it cannot be put back to its sheath until it drew blood.

It CANNOT fail in striking human.

Wounds inflicted by Dainsleif CANNOT be healed.

So I guess an edgie sword for an edgie character?

Never heard of a sword like that

>Can never break

Not always a true statement.

Durandal was said to be unbreakable, yet it fucking broke

And so did Curtane which was made of the same material as Durandal.

>Folded over 2e.69888387493 times

The memes

>Wielded by some God/King/champion/etcetcetc

Gods having godly weapons make sense more than humans having them.

There is plenty of originality

Like Hrunting which was the magical sword that was given to Beowulf, presented as a powerful weapon with powerful abilities, but it was actually totally useless and Beowulf had to discard it in the middle of a battle.

"And another item lent by Unferth

at that moment of need was of no small importance:

the brehon handed him a hilted weapon,

a rare and ancient sword named Hrunting.

The iron blade with its ill-boding patterns

had been tempered in blood. It had never failed

the hand of anyone who hefted it in battle,

anyone who had fought and faced the worst

in the gap of danger. This was not the first time

it had been called to perform heroic feats.[1]

However, although the sword possessed great power and was claimed to have never failed anyone who used it, when Beowulf descended to the bottom of the lake to fight Grendel's mother, the sword proved ineffective. As the "fabulous powers of that heirloom failed," Beowulf was forced to discard it.[1]

Swords were always the prime melee weapons, they were wielded by knights and kings alike.

Spears were for the common peasant, as anyone can use a fucking pointy stick.

Maces and Axes were for barbarians

Swords were for dueling.

Spears were for formations.

Maces were for watchmen.

Axes were for barbarians.

>never heard of a sword like that

Meant more in general, as in "it can cut everything" or "can cut through 10 people in one swing" like Youmu's Roukanken except taken to the extreme.

>not always a true statement

Usually, yeah it's true, doesn't stop the edgelords who devised them to treat them as the be all end all of weapons.

>Gods have godly weapons

But suddently such weapons appearing in the hands of mere mortals such as Kings, even if rulers of the land they're in, is quite stupid.

And the originality is usually given to other weapons like spears or hammers. Hell, fucking Mjolnir is better written than any of these fucking swords.

>sure as hell can smite anything it strikes smoking hot

>can call the lighting of the gods, Zeus be damned

>causes earthquakes that destroy mountains

>but it's short as hell due to failure in design

>can't even trow it that far

>can only be wielded by Thor himself

Weakness and strengths man, most swords are deviced as invulnerable despite having many flaws.

The weakness of Dainsleif is that you cannot put it away once you have drawn it. You MUST kill someone, you cant just throw it away.

It is an evil, murderous weapon that lusts for blood.

Some interpret it as being able to manipulate and even corrupt its wielder, which will make them lash out to anyone near them.

Sure it is an "invincible" sword but the idea behind it is that it consumes and destroy its wielder. It is not something that Man should wield.

Which is actually quite relevant as many heroic characters in mythology and folklore fall to an "ill fate", curses and misfortune are a common theme.
