Slashlight
A sword with a fuller on each side of the blade, and a high-powered LED bulb in the haft at the base of each fuller, pointing towards the point of the blade. | |
Groovy.

My sword would be a flashslashlight it would have very
reflective surfaces and a capacitor fired flash bulb to blind
the opponent. |

Similarly, you could also add LEDs at the tip of each quillion, similarly aimed, and with any luck mesmerize your opponent. |

Or just mount one broader-beam LED on the
creuzen, with a reflector on the lambstongue. |

Consider this: the HI-LED on one side of the blade, and a laser pointer
on the other. Imagine, you're a ninja stalking your prey in the dead of
night. You position yourself ahead of him, perched on a tree branch
or low rooftop. He's nervous... he knows he's being followed. A chill
wind blows, and he frantically looks back over his shoulder. Seeing
nothing to fear behind him, he turns back around... and freezes. He
sees a distinctive red dot on his lapel. He looks up and stares you
dead in the eye. His hand fumbles at his holster, and suddenly he
sees nothing but a terrible glare of blinding white light. You grin, and
move in for the kill. |

... and fall out of the tree. |

I told you, it wasn't a fall! It was an unplanned jump. |
