Martin the Warrioir, obviously. It WAS his sword, after all. Second best would be Luke, because he was the first wielder of the Sword, as far as we know.

Martin was not exactly the first wielder of the sword, maybe the badger lords repaired it, but that does not mean it was made for him.
Luke, his father, passed it down to him, just like his grandpa had to his father, great grand sire to his grand father... ??? :-\

Still he was the best wielder.

Actually, that's incorrect.  Martin was given a sword by his father, who had gotten it from his father, and was later broken by Tsarmina.  However, the sword of Martin used by many creatures is an entirely new one, made for him by Boar the Fighter.  Or at very least the blade is entirely new, Boar may have used Martin's old hilt, I can't remember.

Yeah, Boar used the same hilt, as it says in Mossflower.

Ah, thanks.  I couldn't remember for sure, it's been a few months since I read Mossflower.

Actually, Luke's unnamed father had the sword before him, and even before that Luke's grandfather Martin the Elder Warrior was the first holder of the sword.

I chose Martin - the sword was made for him, after all! I also chose Rakkety Tam, purely because I like him. He also had some skill with a sword beforehand, which gives him more points in my book. I like him because he wasn't one of those beasts who picked up the sword and almost magically gained master swordsmanship powers.
for that same reason i picked Deyna and Martin. Both were highly experienced in bladeplay and unlike so many other characters (like our dear Matthias) had grown up using weapon as part of their livelihood. we know the story of martins youth from the TLOL and MTW, at an age when most of our redwall champions were still being taught in abbyschool. also Tagg (or Deyna)was taught from the start to be a ruthless efficient fighter, so much so in fact that he didn't even have to kill as he could disarm and immobilize an opponent before. as for many of the vermin, look at then experienced corsairs and warlords, usually beaten by much younger and inexperienced fighters.

I think Matthias was a good wielder. He even didn't kill Cluny. The bell did.

Martin the Elder Warrior was Luke's FATHER and Martin's grandfather.
Martin the Warrior is way more epic than Mickey Mouse. Anyone who says otherwise is insane, or just wrong.

I chose both Martins and Rackety tam. Luke would have qualified but in technicality we really didn't seem him use the sword that often, and it was Luke's sword at that point.

I'm suprised that Clarinna isn't on here, because she actually did wield the sword once.

Asmodeus shouldn't be on the list, as he had the sword for a while, but never used it, as he never had hands.

King Bull Sparra also never used it as well.

Martin and Matthias both used the sword well, as did Dandin.
