Sword Design

The sword is a kind of sharp weapon that has long blades. The sword can have two sharp edges or just one sharp side only. In some cultures, when compared to other weapons, swords usually have more or higher prestige.
Sword blades are usually made of hard metals such as iron or steel. Although there is a sword of gold, it is only used as decoration only. For practice, usually wooden swords are used, although hard wooden swords are still dangerous
