Swords

Disney's The Sword in the Stone is set in England during the Middle Ages at the home of Sir Ector. Arthur has been sent to live with them so that he can become a squire for Ector's son, Kaye. During a hunt with Kaye, Arthur falls through the ceiling of a cottage in the woods to land at Merlin's table. The wizard decides to take on the education of Arthur that he now nicknames "Wart". The movie takes place in the castle of Sir Ector and the surrounding lands as Merlin instructs Wart. The story reaches a climax when Wart attends a joust with Kaye as his squire and forgets the sword. Stumbling across a sword in stone, he pulls it out planning to take it to Kaye. What he didn't know was that he has pulled the sword that only the "rightwise born King of England" could pull this sword from this stone. King Arthur is anointed and the young Wart and his wizard Merlin begin their time in Camelot.

The blade was forged from steel - an iron alloy containing a small percentage (around 0.5%) of carbon, which allows the springiness and harness for blades.

the cross and pommel were made from steel or bronze, sometimes with gilding or similar decoration.

the hilt was normally made from hardwood - beech or ash woods were common, and then covered with a thin peice of leather. some hilts were made from more exotic materials - black horn, ivory, or were wrapped in spirals of silver or gold wire.

The earliest Roman swords were probably made of iron. Then they were made of Noric steel, which means steel of Noricum (the ancient name for an area which covered eastern and central Austria and part of Bavaria and Slovenia). It was made with iron from four mountains in Austria and it was known for being very hard. References about this being the iron of the Roman military appeared in the first century BC, including a mention by the famous poet Ovid.

Ancient Roman swords were used for protecting roman empires and the roman empire is the one that used them.....

The earliest Greek swords were made of bronze. In the time that Homer wrote about, Homeric swords were more advanced. One type was called chalcos and was made of copper. There were also the Xiphos, Phasganon, and Aor. These were made of steel that sometimes had gold and silver accents. The xiphos has a double edge. There was also a kopis which was a machete like blade.

A sword is a weapon that has a sharp tip used to stab or kill enemies. The sword was used by ninjas and even other warriors in various battles. This weapon is a dangerous blade to use. The person who created a sword is unknown. Swords are not just used for wars, but for other things as well, like cutting through objects and even pinning something like a shirt against a wall. Swords were also involved in anime/manga series like Naruto, Dragon Ball, and others, as well as many videogames.

Spartan swords were made from iron or bronze (a composite of copper and tin) most Greek swords were short swords, primarily for thrusting as neither iron nor bronze flex very well. The spartan Hop-lites only drew their swords in the event that their spear was lost or broken in battle as their tactics relied heavily on making a wall or phalanx against the enemy with their large Hoplon Shields with their spears pointing outwards. This tactic was most famously deployed at the battle of Thermopylae where 300 Spartans held the Thermopylae pass to Athens against 100,000 Persians successfully for three days. Most spartan swords were smooth edged but some had serrated (saw like) edges to inflict more damage.

the sword was, in many ways, not the main weapon of warfare - in the viking era and earlier, it was a weapon of the highest nobility, who were rich enough to afford one. in the later medieval period, although much more common, it was usually carried as a secondary, back-up weapon - the spear, or polearm was a far more common weapon - it takes a lot less practice to use well, and keeps the enemy far away, at the end of a pointy stick, rather than up close.

However, the sword was used in personal combat, and when forces were too close to use the long, bulkier polearms.

Many techniques were developed for use of the sword in the most effective manner, and were taught throughout europe. the masters who taught sometimes produced books of their method, given to their pupils as reminders. Many of these have survived, the oldest surviving one is called i.33 Walpurgis, and was written somewhere around 1305 in Germany, and it clearly demonstrates methods of defending yourself and attacking the enemy which were already highly developed by that date.

The entire technique is very different to the aimless hacking and bashing seen in films, being comprised of fast movements of the feet to close the distance, and turning of the blade to deflect an enemy's attack without damaging your own sword. Similar techniques of footwork, defence and attack are to be seen in hundreds of surviving fighting manuals from the medieval era and renaissance, some of which teach techniques for countering armour, some of which show techniques for unarmoured civillians. All, however, show advanced and athletic martial arts which use the sword for lightning-fast strikes and accurate, controlled fighting.

Often times it would be phrases or words written in the Futhark, the runic "alphabet." Typically it would be the name of the weapon. The viking age people believed that a soul was given to an object or person when it was named. So by naming a sword, it had its own soul, its own fate and personality. Common names for weapons would be something that would benefit its intended purpose. You wouldn't have a sword named feather, but rather Biter, Leg eater, pain giver, etc. There is one spear that was named Prober. Shields would have similar names, Haven, sanctuary, etc.

In terms of just raw symbols without words, the Tiwaz rune was popular, as it represented Tyr. Tyr is to be twice named for victory in battle, and there is a sword with two Tiwaz runes on it. Thurisaz was another good rune, along with Mjolnir (thor's hammer, which as a rune-like symbol was carved like an upside T. The fylfot (swastika) was another popular symbol.

That is a rather general question. This question will probably get a number of different responses depending on the answerer. An overly simple answer might be that the samurai played the same role as the knight in medieval Europe. Samurai served a daimyo, or lord. Knights served a king or prince. Medieval Europe consisted of serfdoms So did pre-unified Japan. In short, Japan and Europe have many similarities in its evolution to modern society and yet, neither significantly influenced the other. In fact, many of these similarities occurred concurrently... at the same time, but eerily independent of each other. Another answer could be the establishment of Bushido, or the way of the warrior. Western perception of samurai is perhaps one of extreme discipline and self-denial. In a way, this is correct. In unified Japan, the samurai developed Bushido, which promoted the idea that the greatest honor that a samurai could experience is their own death in service of their lord. It almost sounds religious... and a concept that many Westerners would not embrace. Perhaps some scholar might be able to better expound upon the samurai's significance to history.

The sword is called a Katana.

The katana originated in the Muromachi period (1392--1573) as a result of changing battle conditions requiring faster response times. The katana facilitated this by being worn thrust through a belt (obi)with the edge of the blade facing up, which allowed the samurai to draw and cut their enemy in a single motion.

The katana is characterized by its distinctive appearance: a curved, slender, single edged blade, circular or squared guard, and long grip to accommodate two hands. It has historically been associated with the samurai of feudal Japan, and has become renowned for its sharpness and cutting ability.

The Katana was a very popular sword to have during the feudal era because of how it looked and how effectively fast it could strike an enemy.

The pirates who owned them.

An offensive weapon, having a long and usually sharp/pointed blade with a cutting edge or edges.

Tennessee state law makes it unlawful to carry any blade of more than 4 inches with the "intent to go armed" (§39-17-1307, this also covers guns and clubs). This last part makes it legal to carry swords for activities in which the weapon is not actually intended to be used for "offense or defense" as in recreation events, sales, displays, collections and theatrics and to and from said events. Note that if you act in an indecent or unlawful manner you may have other statutes ruled against you.
