The Wild World of Wacky Weapons Part 1: The Scissor Sword

Exactly what it sounds like. Weapon for RPG.

The scissor sword is a classic geek invention. It's really pretty obvious when you think about it. However, it seems this is the first illustrated one *ever*.
I find that hard to believe, yet I've yet to see a picture of one anywhere.

Closeup of the blades.
The blades are made up of two large blades which do not move and a third underneath that uses a special spring mechanism to snap shut. So really, it's like a shear-sword. Each blade has a sharp cutting edge and thick ridges to make them sturdy.

Handle and hand-guard.
The scissor sword is frightfully heavy, and excedingly overkill. The heavy mechanism that controls the bottom blade is also extremely powerful. The scissor sword can cut any two unarmored humans or any one armored human in half.

-Due to the limitations of the technology I'm working with (Wings 3d) I can't exactly pry it open for you. Maybe I'll make an open one to show yall. Tune in next time on WWoWW whwn we'll be discussing the true ultimate frisbee: the Flying Guillotine.

That's one of the sweetest weapons i've ever seen. Right up there with the lightsaber.

Add a red tassle on the end of the pommel, make the blade-guard gold, the blades silver and the handle black, and you'll have one of the most bad@ss weapons of all time :D.

If I has one, I'd become a badass barber barbarian before breakfast with bacon! ... whew, sorry, I fell into a moment of alliteration.

I think it'd actually be cooler if the scale was smaller, like closer to a short sword than a broadsword/Cloud-esque 'compensator' :p But that's just me.

Huh. I did have the buster sword in mind when I designed it (btw, the "Swiss Army Sword" Omnislash at the end of AC is bad-***), but I can see how a shorter sword would be cool too... like one of those gold scissors they cut the red tape with...

-Huh. I could get, like, runes or soemthing on the mechanism. I may have to make another.
