Swords

The sword is a weapon of two edges that basically consists of a straight blade sharp, stabbing pain —or both—, with grip, and some scale or brand (trademark: approximately from half a meter). According to the strict definition would not be swords, sabers, katanas (sword in japanese), etc

Have your sheet of metal sharpened on one or two edges if it is a pit, or without sharp edges and with sharp corners and hard if it is a puncture, or with both features. The grip is made of many different materials, especially if they were swords to "gird" or "stop" aristocratic, but is used to employ wood or horn covered —or not— of leather or rope-making.

Being its appearance very early (IV millennium. C.), its leaf is initially made of copper (very weak), later of bronze, iron and finally steel tempered. The invoice and the handling of the sword remain constant over the centuries, but the techniques vary among cultures and periods as a result of differences in the purpose and design of the sheet. The names given to many swords in mythology, literature, and history reflect the high prestige of the weapon.
