More Long Blade weapons (lawnmower blade and paper cutter)

[MoonSlime]

We need more long blade weapons. Just having Katanas and Machete's are kind of... meh. So here are two suggestions.

EDIT: The point of adding more is to add more diversity. Sure using a katana and machete is fun. However realistically with their low find rates, even with their high damage, they arn't useful (except maybe at the very start of a run). Since you would want to level say axes, long blunt, or short blunt more due to how common they are. Then by the time you actually get a decent number of machete's, you would have medium to high level in other combat skills. Making it more worth it to just keep using those. 

So long blade weapon category should be expanded. 

Wrapped Lawn Mower blade

- a Lawn mower blade with cloth wrapped on one side, as a makeshift sword

- Crafted from Lawn mower blade + three ripped sheets

- can very rarely be found on zombies

 

New world interactable: lawn mower 
- can very rarely have some gas you can siphon from it

- A screw driver can be used on it to get a lawn mower blade

 

Paper Cutter blade

- A paper cutter blade, removed from the base

- Rarely found  on zombies

- Low damage but high durability, meant to be a tool to let people level long blade easier

 

New world interactable: Paper cutter

- Found in schools in the teacher's area

- use a screwdriver on it to get a paper cutter blade and scrap wood

The paper-cutter blade is ready-made for this.

 

My only thought about the lawnmower blade is that, typically, it's a blade at both ends, so it might be dicey to handle, even if wrapped. Perhaps add some metal-working to it, but yeah, I like the idea.

That is actually why I included the ripped sheets into making it a "usable" form. Tho it should most likely be leather strips to wrap around the other side to make it into a makeshift handle.
