 ===Compared to demon blades===
-On most species, [[demon blade]]s are mostly equivalent to double swords. If both weapons are at minimum delay, a +0 demon blade is +1% stronger than a +0 double sword against a 0 AC opponent. As the demon blade attacks faster, it is penalized more by [[AC]], though it benefits more from [[slaying]] and [[auxiliary attack]]s.

 Overall, the differences are too small to make an impact. A +9 demon blade is enough to win you the game, as is a +9 double sword. Generally, the sword you get ''first'' should be the sword that you use. (The sword you get first can benefit first from [[scrolls of enchant weapon]]).

-Despite its ridiculous concept, the rare '''double sword''' is an desirable weapon for any character looking to wear a [[shield]] while still doing heavy damage in melee combat, as it has an excellent base damage of 15. The only one-handed weapon with similar base damage is the [[eveningstar]], which is similarly rare (and scales with [[strength]] rather than [[dexterity]]).

-The [[demon blade]] is a mostly equivalent, one-handed sword. If both weapons are at mindelay, the demon blade is slightly stronger (1% stronger) at 0 AC. As the demon blade attacks faster, it is impacted more by [[AC]], [[slaying]], and [[auxiliary attack]]s. However, the differences are too small to make a noticeable impact. Usually, the sword you get first is the sword that you should use, since weapon with a decent brand and +9 enchantment is good enough to win the game.
