shortest sword

I'm making a caster sword and since i don't want it to look absurd,
I want to use the shortest sword i can.
any sugestions ?

Short sword (yea name speaks for itself )
Gladius (elonian style, my monk got one)

Ogre-Slaying Knife ftw.

On topic-

Go to wiki and look up sword. Gives you a list of different names of the swords and the links to their pages. http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Sword

Ogre Slaying Knife is the best!

Was my first green (dropped not bought) EVAR.

destroyer sword?

Golden Phoenix Blade is fairly short and makes a pretty good caster's weapon

briar blade is relatively small and also diminutive in size all around as compared to the gladius/short sword.

I use:
Jade Sword on my mesmer
Broadsword skin or golden phoenix blade on my monk
Katana on my monk heroes (used to be my monk's sword)
Sephis sword (on my male mesmer--this one is longer though)

These also look nice on casters:
Crenellated swords
Dadao swords
Oni Blades

That one looks somewhat "chubby" and probably wouldn't look any good on a caster...
Shortest = short sword

Bramble Blade is pretty short - it has a rather elaborate hilt accompanying the stubby blade so it might look more caster-like.

daggers ftw! lol jk, i'd go fellblade if it was me....

Golden phoenix blade (handle is as long as blade)
Gladius (elonian)
Gladius (short sword)
Gilded edge
Lesser sage blade
Salient blade(edge?) (ugly)

Agreed. It's rarely seen too.

I can't believe no one's mentioned it:

It's one of my favorite skins, and it looks great on a caster.

Broadblade scimitar is pretty short too.

golden phoenix blade....

Jitte is one of the shorter swords going.

Crested Machete is also one of the shortest swords out there I think.

Katanas and Shinobi Blades are great for casters as they are thin and non-obtrusive. Plus they are pretty stylish

Also you could try and a get a canthan broadsword for a 'Razajan's Fervor' look.

Yeah thats a short sword ~.~

Go with GPB dude. They have a long handle which looks really good on monks (casters in general).
