flesrippers are, in my opinion, one of the best weapons in the game.
-They are "low" to craft, comparing the other weapons that require a ton of metal.
-They attack very fast and the second attack does more damage, soo is more easy to spam a complete moveset to do the more damage.
-Have huge parry bonus and kick have a ton of stagger.
-For being a fast weapon, is more easy to dodge and attack in the middle of combat, in addition, while attacking you can move a little soo it gives you better positioning.
