Blizzard took a stab in the dark with their sword naming.

    The article makes a pretty good case that this is actually a bug in the game.

    some far cleverer commenters than me have pointed out that it’s likely a small programming error with arrays rather than developers being clueless about their swords, leading to all the weapons and their categories being mismatched. Every incorrectly labelled weapon does actually have a correct version within the game, making it the most likely issue.

    That seems kind of unlikely if they were just throwing random cool-sounding sword names in.

      Hmm, fair point, especially with some of the other weapon types they mentioned where it becomes more obvious that no one could look at a single-bladed axe and go “yep definitely a double axe”
