The Zweihänder (German for "two hander") is a brutish two-handed sword of immense weight made to capitalize on brute force at the expense of finesse. The weapon is nearly 6 feet long from the base of the handle to the end of the blade, with a 4-5 foot blade and 1-1 1/2 foot hilt. The blade itself is roughly 6 inches wide where it meets the hilt and 12 inches wide at the tip.
