McCloud used a claymore before he got his sword from Sean Connery.

Pretty sure he's the only one in the first movie with a katana.

Like there's a saber, scimitar, and another claymore from the other three Immortals in New York I remember offhand.

because theyve trained in japan during their life?

after becoming highlanders, the japanese swordsmanship skills likely made them more attuned to fighting and training to survive and protect themselves from their enemies and other highlanders wanting their death

One was called a Toledo Salamanca or technically a rapier.

In any case Fasil seemed to be on his game until he started showing his ass.

Guess one can figure being around several 100 years or a 1000 one would pick up on accents.

Highlander is flawed, but it's great. Clancy Brown as The Kurgan is a super underrated villain. Plus that awesome Queen soundtrack.

I probably should have called it a rapier to begin with. Haven't seen the movie in years, details slipped.

Didn't they used to test katanas by cutting off the heads of prisoners? Seems like an appropriate fit
