Midas' Pride

Day 08 - Gaudy
Gaudy - "extravagantly bright or showy, typically so as to be tasteless."
The first thing that popped to my mind was those expensive super cars painted red with gold trim on the interiors! So why not have a sword that looks the same! Just the mere presence of this sword is enough to make your enemies give up fighting. That or it might make them enraged to a point where you would surely die for showing them this sword!
Best not to use this sword in battle.
