Your Challenge this week is to design a one of a kind weapon of battle ie: sword, mace, shield, battle axe, etc. You can choose to include the warrior who wields it in battle if you wish, but entries will be judged solely on the creativity and uniqueness of the weapon.
The winner this week will receive my design for the master blacksmith who forged the weapon.
Weapons can be from any period you wish, or pure fantasy,
Please follow the instructions below regarding the naming of entries.
Enter as often as you like!

Star Wind, a sword I designed for my giant robot.

Here’s my contribution, Camaelesh, a sword reputed to be that of the angel Camael, perhaps even the one he held when ejecting Adam and Eve from the Garden.
Whether the Archangel actually has anything to do with the sword’s origin (or even exists) is unknown. Whatever it’s origin “Camael’s sword”, a bastard flamberge bursts into flame when drawn with serious intent, is impossibly strong and sharp, and has been around for many many centuries.
I couldn’t decide if I preferred just the sword alone, or in front of a background, so:

The auction went well, according to the fossil record. This lot was the real cavebuster.
