Blades and swords are the nobility among melee weapons, high-status weapons often with a defensive bent. The earliest blades are made of bronze, but only become common as iron and steel working become common.

Knife

A short blade, ubiquitous as a tool, most everybody up until modern times would carry a knife for a hundred practical purposes. It has a blade around 10 cm in length, pointed and usually single-edged. As a weapon, a knife is not impressive. It is a civilian's weapon of desperation.

Power Sword

The apex of blade development, a power sword uses inertia-amplifying technology to deliver extremely powerful blows.
