Talk:Winter's Swords/@comment-72.130.208.61-20151210061631

We're still calling it an estoc? And a "parrying" estoc at that? I'm sorry, but whoever is classifying the weapons needs to do more research on what an estoc is and isnt't. Winter's secondary blade is too small to be an estoc, and calling it a parrying estoc does not help legitimize it because such a thing doesn't exist. An estoc is a large, two-handed sword meant only for thrusting since there is no cutting edge at all. Instead, it either looks just like a normal rapier instead or a parrying dagger. Hell, if you must to be fancy about it maybe you can call it an epee, one of three weapons used in modern fencing with the other two weapons being foil and sabre (which, coincidentally, is Winter's main weapon). Sorry if I'm getting all nitpicky but this kind of stuff with incorrect terminology and classification bothers me, such as Ruyi Jingu Bangu being called flintlock pistols, Qrow's gun being called a cannon, Wilt being called a ninjato, etc.
