Always been a Gladius fan myself
Messers have always been neat to me. Has that neat curved look and usually has a neat hand guard. All of my opinions are purely based off appearance though so who knows.
The Katana can't stab easily that makes them worse then other shorter swords on the market that can put in equal work.
the pork sword
Apparently its both, news to me really I've never seen the smaller version.Messers are knives, not swords.
Good primer on messers:
tl;dw: messers were legally considered knives. They have the length of a sword, but per medieval law, the method by which the hilt was constructed (slab tang bolted between two wooden plates) meant that they were knives. Allegedly, this was so that knife manufacturers living in German areas that placed restrictions on the manufacture and ownership of swords, could nonetheless create and sell sword-style weapons to people who would otherwise be forbidden to own them by sumptuary law.
This is the best sword, because fighting with blades that don't have a chance of whipping themselves back in your face and killing you is for pussies.
In the last five or so years since the urumi became a sword meme, I've never once been able to find a reliable source attesting to the urumi's use in actual combat.
Assuming that urumi even existed in a historical context at all (the Wikipedia article contradicts itself in the very first paragraph; first it states it was a modern-day invention, then it states they date back to Sangam period), I strongly suspect that they were strictly ritual devices.

Idk but if it doesn’t have at least one materia slot I don’t want it.
