Title: Urumi, the Indian whip-sword

I never cease to be amazed by the pure awesomeness of some medieval weaponry...
I saw this on a history channel documentary; Urumi is an ancient Indian weapon, basically a very flexible sword that resembles more a whip than a sword. Several sharp belts are attached to a single handle, creating an extremely dangerous and deadly weapon, which must be swung around really fast, otherwise the user would cut himself.   
Think a Belmont could use one of those?  ;D

We talked about this weapon on an earlier thread. I think a Belmont could definitely put some good into it. However this weapon comes off as being slightly more intimidation then lethal. It will cut and cut good but for an instant kill, it's not very likely. It's still an interesting weapon though  :)

My swinging chainsaw on the end of the long chain beats this.

Chrome Shelled Regios.

Main char uses that.
