Claymore is Large Sword Weapon in Demon's Souls and Demon's Souls Remake. Large Swords are usually held with both hands and are capable of inflicting a huge amount of damage towards hostile characters but are slow, making the player vulnerable to fast enemy attacks.
This very large sword, similar to a straight sword, is a versatile weapon, but its weight means it usually requeres the use of both hands.
The smashing overhead attack greatly depletes a target's stamina, and easily breaks their guard.

Holy crap this thing is massive. It's so much smaller in the other games.

From reading up on the upgrade paths, I would assume it would be a lot less frustrating to just upgrade to +10 instead of going for crushing or quality?

I prefer the movest of this claymore over the other claymores in the other games, it's relatively fast, more elegant and realistic and I enjoy the swings a lot more, makes it look like the character is using an actual sword and doesn't just smash the sword against the ground

What is the drop rate of the claymore from the blue eye knight in the tunnel on the floor level of the Boletaria starting area? I’ve been farming for hours and can’t get any drops other than some Full Moon Grass. I don’t want to spend the 6K when I can get it as a drop, but damn... Item Discovery on my character is 67

Here's some Trivia:
The Claymore, the Winged Spear and the Knight's Sword all have the Boletarian Sun emblazed on them, meaning all three are Boletarian Knight weapons.
The Claymore has the furthest reach of all the Greatswords. (Citation Needed, use the three crossbowmen just before the Tower Knight Stone for confirmation)

is it worth it to go for +10 for a strength build? Or should i scratch that idea and go for quality? I already invested a lot into strength and i was even concidering going for crushing, but i saw other comments sayin that its not worth it due to low base damage
