This time I wanted to clear up the confusion around the term "claymore", which is most often incorrectly applied to two-handed swords with the characteristic quatrefoil tipped quillons. The word more accurately refers to the basket-hilted broadsword (or backsword in case of a single-edged blade) which became popular later in Scotland's history.
So next time someone calls something a "claymore" that is not a baskethilt sword you can go full nerd and be like "akshually...". ;)
