I already have an upgraded broadsword which is why I wanted something bigger (although this might be too big). Another weapon I was looking at was the Iaito which I picked up recently.

It's really hard to tell how good a weapon is before upgrading. Earlier I tried out a bandit's knife and even after upgrading to +1 it did significantly less backstab damage than a +4 rapier despite having a much higher critical bonus. I assume it's due to having a higher base damage because I was under the impression that thrusting swords only had a hidden bonus for riposting.
