Why is it that when the ancients decide to make a powerful weapon to vanquish demons or seal the forces of evil away, it's always a sword? There are other kinds of weapons, you know.

It's all about the high drama. It's kind of hard to jam your magic nunchucks into a stone block deep in the forest, and rather comical when the chosen one pulls them out.
Because swords are sharp and pointy.
"The sword is my penis."
Well... Excalibur.
There's Vampire Killer though, that whip? That's the weapon that Dracula hates. Well, it's not really sealed in a forest temple or anything, but it's still pretty close to the thing.
I'd like to see a dramatic submachine gun, meself!

Well, except for that appendix (and the article in The Dragon, before the appendix) detailing Gary's fetish for the things... still, they don't get nearly enough respect.
Polearms!!!
I can see it now-- The Bohemian Earspoon of Shannara!
