Talk:Claymore
Add topic
In the Rouge Crew, Captain Rake Nightfur's weapons are double claymores. On the cover of the Rouge Crew they show the claymores as being twin daggers with basket hilts, though on Wikipedia, they say claymores are big, Scottish longswords. Which is right? —This unsigned comment was added by 99.17.211.157 (talk • contribs) 23:48, June 21, 2013. Please sign your posts with ~~~~!
- Note that the term "claymore" has been incorrectly used to refer to Scottish backswords (alongside Scottish greatswords, which are true claymores) for so long that it is worth mentioning in the article as another meaning of the term.
- Brian Jacques seems to have unknowingly made that error when he referred to Rake Nightfur's swords as "Claymores", when in actuality they are Scottish backswords. We know that this is an error because Jacques would not have intended to mean two actual claymores, since it is impossible to wield two true claymores without astronomical, superhuman strength.
