: Hmmm... Well, as Journeymen, they were quite bulky. Also,

: continually wearing the armor, even with more

: However, If you look at the remains of a Journeyman after

Its still a good answer, as far as I can tell. Would explain how that Heron Guard in the Walls of Muirthemne (I think that's the right name) has his swords and armor.
Question then comes up...Are they actually katanas as far as what type of swords they are? I confess to being too lazy to look on the Asylum's records, but there's no mention of it in the game, obviously.
Only things I can remember that show them clearly, although probably not the only ones.
Their swords are a bit short (relatively speaking) and curved in the pre-game pictures before Redemption, but in the victory screen picture they appear a bit longer and straight bladed.
Not sure it really matters, but it would be interesting to know what the swords really are.
