The design and structure of a sword go in a way that it has a long blade, much longer than a dagger or a knife, and a hilt at the base with which the sword can be grabbed. It is usually heavier but that normally depends on the construction material of the swords. The blade of a sword can be either curved or straight. Each one of them serves a specific purpose. For example, a sword which features a straight blade mostly end up on a pointed tip which facilitates in thrusting. Whereas, the swords which have curved blades are mostly used for slashing and feature edges on one side of the blade, sometimes edges are also made on both sides of the blade as well.

Before we start discussing modern-day swords for sale, let us first have a look at the history of swords. The swords are said to be originated during the Bronze Age. The idea of a sword was inspired from a dagger and the first swords date back to somewhere around 1600 BC. Then came the Iron Age and during this age, swords were mostly short in length and they did not have a cross-guard as well. Then came the Roman era and the Middle Ages, most commonly known as the Medieval era which lasted from the fifth century to the fifteenth century. The sword of the Roman era was known as the Spatha and these real swords are still available in stores. The swords of the Medieval era were the successors of these swords, Spatha. Soon the Renaissance period came and people started to make more advancements in every field of life. Two types of swords were then used by people. One was known as the sabers and the second ones were the rapiers.

The sabers were the swords which closely resembled the famous Cutlass swords having curved blades. This is why these swords find their best use in slashing. A curved blade of a saber, when hit someone from horseback, would inflict quite deep slashing wounds. It would chop enemies down with brute force and would attack multiple people on a single slashing move especially when done by a person sitting on a horse. This is why these swords prove to be quite useful and effective in battles and wars. The saber swords feature sharp edges and razor-sharp blades with double edges. These swords have also been used in World War 2 by the US Naval Army. The famous Katana was also designed in this way but it featured a single-edged blade.

They are properly balanced, and light as well but that does not affect their deadliness one bit.
