I say the Valeria. I just received a custom made copy of the Valeria sword with a 22 inch 80crv2 blade and an Arabic inspired T guard with a similar grip(mine has a flatter profile) and pommel as in the movie. I'm still doing the hand finishing before my smith puts a final edge on it, but it handles like a dream the short relatively heavy blade paired with the long grip makes for a very versatile tool.

It originally didn't have a cross guard.

[@bskec2177]

How is it possible to "add" an integrated guard? An integrated guard is made from the same piece of metal as the blade. To do this you would have to cut the blade, heat it, bend the cut bits into shape, which would leave obvious markings on the blade itself, making the whole thing weaker. Looking at the blade he is holding, even if they used steel from the tang, I don't see how this would be possible, especially within a day. Is it possible they had a version with a cross-guard already made, and just switched it in?

Sandahl Bergman was in incredible shape for this role and moves so well thanks to her training as a dancer. Unlike a lot of actors in fantasy films, I find that she comes across as a pretty believable swordswoman. With her height, fitness, and agility I think she would have been a dangerous opponent if she'd continued to pursue armed martial arts (whether eastern or western or both). Imagine squaring off against her in her prime in a HEMA context, for example. Formidable.

Indeed, there's never been a better female movie representation of a fantasy warrior. Far better than Brigitte Nielsen in Red Sonia (which Sandahl also starred in).

[@danielflynn9141]

The replica of Valeria's sword made by Windlass is missing details from the original prop. The integrated guard you referenced did not exist on the original prop, at least not in the beginning. Sandahl Bergman had one of her fingers nearly sliced off from an extra's blade sliding down the edge of her blade. After that injury, the props team welded the integrated guard on to help avoid additional injury and give her some protection. Furthermore, the pommel has a demon's face depicted on it and not a floral motif. The grip, also, was less cylindrical and was wrapped in leather, whereas the grip on the Windlass replica is bare wood.

[@danielflynn9141]

The Valeria sword, unlike the Father's sword or the Atlantean sword, was never made as a hero weapon, i.e. from steel. All of Sandahl Bergman's swords were made of aluminum. It's a small detail, but she came from a dance background and not a martial arts background.

Ever tried tomahawk throwing with a round handle and an oval handle?
