Frabby, the term 'Crescent Hawk' is used within the article, without explaining the reason for the change. I suspect it is an error of a veteran of the early computer game. --Revanche (talk|contribs) 23:08, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
Katana?
Errr, that sword does not look like a katana, a katana is not a Chinese sword, is there proof that its really a katana? RagTag 21:24, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
- Hy I jump in, i think it is not a Katana, it looks like a saber, but is definitly not a Katana.Doneve 21:33, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
- it looks like a Saif or Tulwar, but those are Arabic weapons... so its probably some form of Dao like Damdao or Niuweidao or something. RagTag 21:41, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
- your right, i think it is a adopted variant, but i can't find every reference in the sources.Doneve 22:01, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
- I would suggest using the generic term "sword" rather than trying to use a specific name that not everyone might be familiar with. --Peregry 22:56, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
