Flame-bladed Sword
A flame-bladed sword or wave-bladed sword has a characteristically undulating style of blade. The wave in the blade is often considered to contribute a flame-like quality to the appearance of a sword. The dents on the blade can appear parallel or in a zig-zag manner. The two most common flame-bladed swords are rapiers or ''Zweihänders''. A flame-bladed sword was not exclusive to a certain country or region. The style of blade can be found on swords from modern-day Germany, France, Spain, and Switzerland. ''Flambard'', ''Flammard'', and ''Flammenschwert'' The two-handed flame-bladed sword is referred to by the German ''Flammenschwert'' (literally "flame sword"). These swords are very similar to two-handed sword or ''Zweihänder'', the only difference being the blade. The design of the blade is decorative along with being functional by causing unpleasant vibrations while parrying. Still, the undulating blade is no more effective at cutting than a straight one.
