In wulin, some fighters favor the use of weapons while others prefer using their bare hands to fight. Among those who use weapons, there is a great variety of armament preferences...ranging from the standard swords and sabers to truly bizarre and unique weaponry such as Divine Crocodile's crocodile-jaw/scissors to Cheun Gum Fat's (Gong Nam Freak # 6) weight scale.
The sword is considered the standard wuxia weapon, favored by a large number of characters. Certainly, there are sword specialists such as Dook Goo Kau Bai, Ling Wu Chung, Sai Mun Chui Sheut, etc., but are *all* wulin fighters, to some extent, sword proficient? For example, I don't recall any instance of Kiu Fung using a sword during DGSD, but as a top martial artist, he should be competent in using one, correct? Are all wulin people at least sword-proficient, if not exactly experts or specialists in using the sword?
