* Swordswoman is certainly rare, but translated a text mentioning a 女刀客 and 客 doesn't have to be man, so I feel extra sexist if just submit "swordsman". Is "swordsperson" too weird?
* 现代汉语大词典 has a very specific definition, “民国初年称土匪为刀客”, but I have no other reference for it, and even 刀客 for swordsman is rare enough.


如果我是那群太尉府的刀客,我一定死不瞑目,后来这么多条命加起来,只不过值一个鸡蛋。
If I were those swordman from the militia, I'd have refused to die. All their lives were worth only the value of egg!

几日前 有一班刀客经过我家门口
A band of swordsmen passed by a few days ago.

男孩回答:"我希望是你的学生,成为最优秀的刀客在土地,"。
"I wish to be your student and become the finest swordsman in the land," the boy replied.
