Backhand Blade

The Backhand Blade is a curved blade held in a reverse grip from Shadow of the Erdtree. It deals physical damage, scales evenly with Strength and Dexterity, and uses the Blind Spot skill.

It is light with low requirements, so it suits a nimble Dexterity or quality character. Fighting with it looks like a deadly dance.
