The double-edged sword is a recurring weapon in the series, and one of the most notable Cursed items.
Though the Sword is incredibly powerful it will always strike the wielder with recoil damage, with the exact amount varying between titles. Furthermore, the sword is cursed in it's first two games and can only be removed at a Church.
Design wise, the sword was originally an oddly shaped, almost Christmas tree-like spread of blades stemming from the hilt. With V the sword became much a more elegant scimitar, with the lower edge of the blade curving back to the wielder's wrist and matching a similar protrusion extending from the pommel. Due to all sword animations being based on the same swinging motion, the Double-edged sword was changed again for VIII into a bulky bastard sword style weapon that has two sections of razor blades before terminating in a spear tip.
