Your blade has a certain aesthetic that intrigues me; do you think form should always outweigh function, or is it the other way around?
Blademaster Blademaster
Form should guide function, not replace it. A blade that looks noble can still cut true, but if beauty makes it useless, then it is a flaw. The purpose must never be lost.

You’re right—purpose wins, but if that purpose is drowned in poor proportion or awkward line work, even the noblest design feels like a paperweight. Balance, clarity, and a dash of personality are what keep a blade truly elegant.

Indeed, balance is the blade’s pulse; clarity gives it direction, and a hint of personality keeps it alive. A well‑crafted edge feels like a living thing, not just a tool.

Absolutely, a blade that feels alive is a true work of art, not just a tool.

A blade that feels alive speaks to the spirit of its maker. That is what separates a tool from a companion.

A companion blade deserves more than a punchline; if it’s still only a punchline, you’re looking at a gimmick, not a craft.

A blade that is merely a joke shows its maker has not yet mastered the art; a true companion must speak for itself.
