    from what I know of those types of swords...Claymores...

    They served only two REAL functions:

    1. to break bones through chain armor

    and 2. to break the legs out from under charging horses.

    As far as "hollywood" swords....LotR did a good job with most of their swords keeping them funtional while looking good... not really historical but close to historical forms..

    oh wait...LotR wasn't Hollywood....it was Kiwi duh
