no. knives are shorter than swords. they are not used to fight and are not as pointy.

------------------------

Knife and sword do not mean the same thing.

Swords today are used only competitively, in formal combat (Martial Arts) and Fencing. Swords historically can be of many shapes, sizes and weights. Swords are still used today as part of formal military uniforms and ceremonial weapons.

Knives are shorter than swords and also come in very many styles. Combat (fighting) weapons include the Combat Knife, Throwing Knife, Bayonet and Trench Knife. Knife-throwing remains a competetive sport.

Knives are also made as tools (for example, diving knife, fishing knife, scalpel, survival knife,), utensils (kitchen knives, cutlery,) and as religious or military ceremonial implements.
