You’re missing the end quote.

Assassination with swords is so old fashion.

I really like the way you describe yourself. And I think you deftly incorporated the utility of the sword and yourself.
(and, yes, you are missing a quote)

I really enjoyed this one – I especially liked the use of the dialect for the speaker, I think that really made this piece. And this sword is a great way of describing yourself as well!

I’d make a comment about the end quote, but I would just be being redundant…=]

I like how there’s an actual story here, instead of just the description of a sword. It was a lot more interesting to read the attributes of the sword in the context of the narration. Nicely done!

Another wonderful scene packed with detail, but one thing sticks out. Your tense for “could use some polish” feels incongruous with the rest of the piece. It’s not a big deal, but it throws me with each re-read.

I love stories that have a message. Serviceable Blade is a great story with a wonderful description of yourself. Top marks.

Cut to the point didn’t he? :) Context is key here, and context earns you the pencils.

I’ve always liked dialog that’s written to be read aloud. Well done.

Nice description of the weapon. It blended well with the dialogue.

I agree with those above me. Though this sentence does feel a bit out of tense:
“The dull blade caught little light. The handle could have used some polish.”
To match up with how the line before it sounds, “The dull blade caught little light.” you might change it to be:
“The handle could use some polish.”
