Either this villager is sporting an interesting topknot, or they are part sword, or the Orcs eventually fixed their Mind Kinfe and the villager just needs to get his serviced.
Is this Matt throwing shade at impatient readers? If so, it’s a hilarious response 
yeah that seems to be the case
No, you know what, that seems like a perfectly good sword, to me. Looks like one of those African throwing blades, a Lizal boomerang-sword from Zelda: BotW/TotK, or a particularly funky hurlbat. Just call it the Triangarang ('cos it’s got three points all over, even on one of the points itself) and make it return when thrown (hope you’re good at catching - knife juggling lessons and/or armored gauntlets may come in handy) and you’re in business!
