Great combat sequence but I find it weird that guards are using swords instead of high tech guantlet or guns is is there any particular reason why theyāre using swords??
Okay @IronRaptor thanks for the prompt response(s)

Informal poll -
Iām currently working on my knife combat scenes and I had a thought. Originally I was going to do Bowie knife, Ka-bar and the Karambit. However, the first two blades feel similar in my opinion. Iām thinking of dropping one and adding in something like a dagger. However, Iām open to opinions at the moment. Thoughts?
How about a kukri knife? Theyāre awesome.

Hmm, maybe. While I own one, I canāt say that Iām familiar enough with it to write much about wielding one in hand-to-hand combat. Might watch a Youtube video or two.
What about a light saber

That would be among my swords. Iām not going to go ālaser swordāā in this book. Iām already giving weapons that can have flames or other effects activated on them (starting at the warehouse), I donāt feel like we need a lightsaber.
Well I donāt like flames, can I have electricity or particle exciter on my sword

Yes you can. Your other option is turning your blade into Frostmourne: All of the ice, none of the curses or lich souls.
How about a butter knife?
We could use it teasingly like " I need only a butter knife for you "
Summary
I mean, if I wanted to go out of the way and make you play like Bob in Reboot Season 1 Episode 9 we COULD but I have a feeling that wouldnāt be a popular choice.
I have a book about weapons throughout history, so thereās a few I can suggest.
Thereās the bichāhwa, with a curved blade, similar to the kukri, but this oneās more like a dagger
Thereās the stiletto, which is a dagger, a small one
I have to think about a katar too, although not a dagger, I have to mention the katar because IMO itās just too awesome
Thereās the tomahawk as well, a famous one
I think thatās it, just did a quick browse through the book
The downside is that I have no idea on how to use any of them, so that would be up to you Iron
Your right I have a better ideaā¦SAFETY SCISSORS!!!

A lot of your suggestions were great. For the record, I love the tomahawk for its versatility. Bichāhwa is a new one on me, so I wouldnāt be able to incorporate it wasily.
The two that I quoted on the other hand have potential. The Katar would let me live out Voldo fantasies from Soul Calibur. and the stiletto is a known assassinās weapon. The latter would definitely give flexibility for later missions when you have more opportunities for stealth takedowns. Katar has potential as well in that function.
Going back to @Mxm124ās recommendation, Iām finding many videos of how to use it in the brush as a knife/axe hybrid. Iām having problems finding examples of using it in combat. In theory, Iām thinking a lot of chipping attacks but not sure about stabbing or slashing
@microwave04 - Iām looking for serious answers at the moment man.

The katar, besides deadly, is also a beautiful weapon, and it looks SO cool
About the kukri, I think it can be used as a slashing weapon, but mostly chopping, stabbing is a no go
Thereās another one too, I just canāt remember the name, I think itās kriss, but Iām not sure, Iāll look it up
Found it. Itās kris actually. Basically a dagger, but the blade is like a snake, all curved, I donāt think I know the correct word to describe it actually. Must do some nasty damage inside though
How about a trench knife? They are awesome too.
Yep, a kris is definitely a blade with a serpentine shape. I typically see them in conjunction with people doing āritual deathsā or sacrifices. Not sure if thatās something we want to have in combat.
I donāt think Iāve seen you in the thread before, so welcome! Iām with you, the trench knife is a great blade. However if I were to compare the US M3 to the Ka-bar -
There isnāt much different between the two blades in terms of form. The Ka-Bar was slightly longer than the M3 as well as slightly longer overall. I feel like Iād be running into the same problem as I was with the Bowie knife

During the old times yes they use them as a combat weapon and its shape used to tipped poison (I think). But since it is 21st century I dont think Kriss use as a weapon anymore besides ceromonial stuff.
