By Pixel count, the red sword has a handle that is approximately 45% of the sword's length. The same goes roughly for the blue sword. I suppose if you were using some weird fish-eye lens on your camera, then the proportions might be that messed up, but the fact of the matter is that they appear illegal. Regardless of whether or not they would be legal if we measured the real things by hand, it is appearances that matter the most on an online encyclopedia, so we should at least try to find swords that 'appear legal', if that is at all possible. -Lurker | By Pixel count, the red sword has a handle that is approximately 45% of the sword's length.

Why do you think the handles are too long? --Linden 18:06, 5 February 2009 (EST) By Pixel count, the red sword has a handle that is approximately 45% of the sword's length. The same goes roughly for the blue sword. I suppose if you were using some weird fish-eye lens on your camera, then the proportions might be that messed up, but the fact of the matter is that they appear illegal. Regardless of whether or not they would be legal if we measured the real things by hand, it is appearances that matter the most on an online encyclopedia, so we should at least try to find swords that 'appear legal', if that is at all possible. -Lurker
