small combat blade

Anchor blade: cause of the the fact that it looks like an anchor.

Boarding blade, used by first boarders, to take down enemy and clear out area for next set of boarders.

grapling blade, it can be used to throw to latch on to something or it can be used to kill someone if you throw it correctly.

it might be also considered a small axe.

Yeah, the original name this weapon was the Axe-sword, but I changed it to something else (and nobody's made an attempt to guess it yet). The other name it used to be was Butterfly Sword, but that name was already taken.

Small combat blade? Yes, it is a bit short. Grappling Blade? Yeah, it can be used for disarming! Boarding Blade comes naturally, it's a heavyweight weapon.

However, I have no idea what an Anchor Blade looks like.

That'd be funny if someone made a guitar with the same body as the sword you made! lol Anyways, nice job; although my sword knowledge isn't too sharp, my art knowledge is better. I think it looks like a good piece of art and has a creative design for a sword. Anyways, nice job!

Funny you should mention that, I sometimes pretend I'm playing the guitar on the sword!

EDIT: Here's the character who wields the sword in my story in his first battle!:

And here he is on a guitar:

I'll do a drawing of what the sword first looked like soon!

When I was your age I found these metal covers on some industrial electrical outlets
and used a hacksaw and files to make 4 point throwing stars.

Image

The covers looked sort like my drawing. They were about 1/8" thick. They made good
throwing stars. I lost most of them training with them in wooded areas.

Whaddya mean by "training"?

I've found the flat of the blade is handy for @#$%&-slapping people and frying eggs on.

Haha. I remember during Intermediate, me and a friend bent short pieces of metal at a 90 degree angle so that we could press our middle and index fingers outwards on them. Doing this, we had our own custom snow/skateboards and could grind them on any surface!

Okay, just whipped up a drawing of what the sword originally looked like when I first came up with it.
Image
The original idea was to have these sub-blades poking out at the tip for hooking onto things, but I drew it larger and larger until it became the blade you see today! The hilt and pummel changed are pretty recent.
