A while back (pre-Gates, but post LDoN) I bumped into a bard on my alt. She was holding some sword which was a one handed weapon and spikey all the way down the blade. Fear my ASCII redition:

I asked her to link it but it was ages ago and I've since forgotten it and haven't ever seen anyone else weilding one. Any ideas on what it may have been? Obviously it was a bard usuable weapon, though I don't recall if it was bard specific.
