Quote:It may be just a point of trivia, but has anyone noticed how the Scissor's weapon closely resembles the Army's standard issue turf cutter?
There is also a leatherworking knife that's about the same shape, and a chef's knife that has a curved blade like that. It would slice whatever it hit, but I don't think (as some say) it would be useful for cutting out of a net. Cords are pretty resistant to blades. The hooked side probably had an edge on it, too. It could disembowel a man pretty quick, and the retarius was very light on armor of any kind except for the manica and shoulder. Against a neck or throat, well, it wouldn't be a career enhancing move. Confusedhock: :?
