Also doubles as a weapon against who knows what.

Buy an eyelander from the mann co. store.


Don't get one of those incredibly heavy cleaving ones. Slicing ones are better.

Sickle sword used by the Israelites during the campaign for Canaan against the Canaanite tribes.

Am I right, Riot? Except that's steel and they used bronze for their swords.

Yes, and the model dated further into Egypt as well. It was designed to hook onto shields and pull them away, then with an accompanied thrash into the enemy.
