Hello, this post is for all very very detail oriented folks out there. Be warned, some people may think I am at the level of way too darned picky, but I thought I would post this nonetheless 
What I am looking at are the two slightly different styles of Lego longsword. I have looked at them both to analyze which feels better for my main character (thus why the analysis).
My thoughts are thus:
The thinner hilt (knight on the right) feels more of a german longsword feel, and thus more for civilians or swordsmen who are very handy with a more light weapon that they can move easily.
The thicker hilt (soldier on the left) looks heavier and more of a hacking and slashing weapon. Think of pictures of people wielding swords in real life. Some pictures make it look like someone picked up a heavy sword and is making it work, vs. people who are wielding swords that seem an extension of their being. This feels like a heavier sword.
Currently, my character is a very adapt swordsman, whether he is wearing armor or not, and thus I equip him with the thinner sword (which also almost looks longer). Note: I still need to equip myself with a thinner pearl dk grey sword that doesn't have chew marks. But the other sword just looks like a heavier weapon for a more bulky character, whereas my character I try to make a more lean build.
Anyone's comments (or criticisms about my over-attention-to-detail) are welcome
