Drizzt isn't exactly the best name for a dark elf either, but that's just me.

 

I'd rather buy Legolas' daggers :xp:

 

Drizzt pwns Legolas. Nice find. And the swords are intellegent I think, so thats what they call themselves. I could be mistaken - Drizzt has a rather odd sense of humor.

Claymore and flamberges are both huge two-handed swords that were once used in Europe; the claymore in Scotland and England (the word "claymore" is a corruption of the Gaelic word for "big sword"), the flamberge in Sweden and Germany. The key difference between the two are the design of the blades. Claymore blades traditionally have straight edges. In addition, the guard arms on the handle are more often than not straight as well. Flamberge blades are traditionally wavy in shape in order to assist with parrying. Most also have a dull portion just above the handle that's used to grip the sword like a spear. This dull portion is usually separated from the sharp part by two curved tangs. The guard arms are also angled to point in the same direction as the blade.

 

This has been your daily dose of Niner-knowledge. :D
