This is a sword with a flame-shaped blade, provided that flames are wavy lines that meet at a point at the top. Weapons experts agree that, as far as tactical advantages go, a blade in this shape looks really cool. They disagree whether the proper name is flamberge, flammard, flambard, or flamLAYVEN!

Also, this particular flamdamalinglong is made from Moonthril, the alloy forged by Pork Elves out of radioactive moon rock. It's one of the only loyal alloys known to man or anagrammist.
