Claymore for power, katana for style.
Machete for camping trips with college friends I'm getting really sick of.

Where's the bastard sword? If I have to have a sword, I'll pick that one. With a shield.
But if I can pick something else than a sword, you can give me a spear. Swords are way inferior in combat except in very specific matchups.

Egyptian Khopesh, if I can't look like some kind of barbaric space druid who needs to fend off bulbous death vines from intruding on my phosphor swamp then really whats the point in having a sword
Man, my mall ninja memories are coming back to me.
Anyways, you forgot the best one, op.
You can take it apart and turn it into more swords. So tight.

The GOAT. Not sure what category it would be classified as
Inspired by the best:
Dadao, machete, or shamshir. Weebs have ruined the katana's coolness (and I'm fn Japanese saying that shit).
If it were listed, I'd go with the superior Japanese sword, the nagamaki.

Depends on how many times it's been folded.
More folds = more gooder
The size of the falchion vs. other much smaller swords (going by the measurements) is bothering me.
Anyway, as someone with very little experience of swords in real life I feel like personally a short short or gladius would be the best option. You could easily handle it with one hand and it being smaller and lighter means in theory you should have more control over the blade while still being able to hold a shield in your other hand. Of course the bigger swords look cooler, but I'm looking at this from the perspective of me picking up a sword tomorrow and wielding it to a degree whereby I don't immediately kill myself with it.

Zweihander because I am a short person that loves to be the big bulky characters in games or prove size doesn't matter in real life for what I can.

Yeah. I also prefer western swords, but I found this pic on Reddit. It's definitely a limited list.
My dad was an antique weapons collector. We had some very cool swords in the house when I was growing up.
This. Best of both worlds 1H/ 2H (and limitations of both, as well).

I mainly like Western swords. The flamberge have a lot of style...
You'll probably be dead by the time you pull out your longsword if I teleport behind you and stab you with my katana.A Longsword easily breaks a katana: https://youtu.be/w_3W1zg683A?t=383 (subtitle available)

For something a little different here are some examples of the sharks tooth weapons used by many Pacific Islander people.
I see your shark tooth sword and add my volcanic glass sword. Macuahuitl.
