Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
Despite its name, the sword presented in Assassin's Creed: Unity is not a true flamberge and bears more resemblance to a zweihänder due to the presence of a secondary grip called a ricasso. Typically, flamberges had an uninterrupted undulating blade which could cause unpleasant shocks to an attacker when striking the blade with their own flat sword, though contrary to popular belief, the waved blades did not make the weapon better at cutting than their straight-edged counterparts.[2]
