Traditional swords, Scimitar, sabers, repairers, daggers. Blades used to fight death, such as Japanese samurai cutting swords, and ceremonial swords such as Masonic swords. The past of all of them is near, and they all point to tradition and dignity.
Of all the weapons used today and all the guns in history, swords are by far the largest. Yes, swords are brutally effective weapons. But they are much more than that.
In the past, members of kings and royal families, members of the nobility, and many other dignitaries all carried swords as weapons and as a traditional, highly prominent symbol of their status. Even today, blades and their close relatives – such as schemers – are a cultural symbol of high success or high social level.
In the army, swords were traditionally carried only by commissioned officers and still exist, in some cases, cavalry. Swords are used for cutting, thrusting, striking, and slashing and have a long-range edge weapon. During the Middle Ages, any knight considered his sword to be his most important weapon, and with the possible exception of his horse, he probably had the most crucial possession. Edge weapons that rank and file foot soldiers carried, usually with knives, dirt, or daggers, were much smaller and less lethal than swords, with fewer blades. These tiny blades were also less well-known for carrying weapons and did not indicate the social status of an informant.
Sword name
A sword consists of a very long single-edged or double-edged blade and attached hilt, a collective term consisting of a pommel, a grip, and a comprehensive or straightforward guard. Swords use straight blades in some cultures, while others have developed swords or sword-like weapons with slightly curved edges. But the basic design of all swords is remarkably similar. Swords are usually found in protective leather or metal scrap boards attached to the waist. Blades intended to be used as weapons are generally quite helpful and are not as elaborately decorated as many ceremonial swords.
Swords in war and peace, past and present.
Swords have been used as weapons in hundreds of different cultures and every region of the world since ancient times. Over time, weapon swords have been made of bronze, iron, and steel (later, tempered steel), and, as noted above, these types of swords were designed to kill performance rather than beauty.
But in addition to being used as a cold weapon in warfare, swords have been used for formal purposes for at least a thousand years. And although they are no longer used as natural weapons, they are still used formally. Swords play an essential role in some military weddings and some military ceremonies, and they are still part of the uniforms of commissioned officers. Traditionally, a knight's investment (called a “dub”) was, and still is, performed by a man with his king or master's sword flat on his shoulder. Masons even use Swords during certain architectural ceremonies and ceremonies.
Ceremonial swords are often made of gold or sterling silver, and their blades and sheaths are often elaborately engraved. Sword guards and ski boards are sometimes sold.
