Probably the ones like Frunk Fried type..^^; I mean who knows Shank's was a great sword master and his sword was actually a DF type..
Thxz 4 the pic to xing jun long www.jotterpro.comDon't worry  Be happy!!:laugh:

A cutlass, dammit! Because he's a true pirate, and a true pirate's sword of choice is a cutlass.
-
Wikipedia says that Cutlasses came after the pirate era, which is interesting since Oda is normally so meticulous in his approach to things like this.
I recommend: Peerless Martial God, Renegade Immortal, Gourmet of Another World, Trash of the Counts Family and The Great Ruler

A "rapiere" would be cool.
I think that kind of sword would match well with his style.
-
My money is on Shank's sword being a cutlass.

If you guys could put a picture of shank's sword. It might be easier for us reader
-
dont trust wiki, and we havent seen his sword yet i dont think?

Rapiers arn't exactly the best weapon to use unless you're fighting in an alley. In a world with of katana and longswords, they're a pretty crappy sword. They break easy, and can't cut much better then a flesh wound.
Shank's sword looks a bit meatier then a rapier, anyways.

Shanks probably has the 2nd best sword.
-
A rapier is a duel weapon, not a war sword and it's not made to cut but for to pierce.
That's a very dangerous weapon in the hand of someone who knows how use it.
I think a sword like that would match well with Shanks because he seems to be a guy with style, calm and who do not need a uber heavy sword for killing someone.
Plus, a rapier is easy to use with only one arm.
That's not for nothing that this sword was very popular during the 17th and the 18th century.

I can't really tell if the sword is special or not, but there are some good ideas already presented by people. I would think that a scimitar matches his style the most from just going on his looks alone.
On another note, if you look at the anime ep. 151 he seems to pull his cloak over the front of himself with his "missing" arm. I am going to speculate that he has done a Franky-like operation to himself to put an indestructible super arm there made out of sea stone or some other unbreakable material coated in seastone.
Perhaps he doesn't need a sword if he has something like that?

What? So pirates who appeared after the pirate era who carried cutlasses don't matter all of a sudden? :\

Shanks could use a Shiv!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shank_%28weapon%29
This could clear up why Mihawk has that tiny knife, because it could be used to fight Shank's Shiv. Iono why i just think it would be a good pun. Also I just realized that shanked meaned stabbed multiple times so yeah.
-
hmm, judging by the hilt of the sword that's been shown, my bet would be on a Cutlass-like weapon
