sword
A bladed weapon designed for cutting or thrusting. They are typically composed of a hilt and a blade with one or two edges that can be straight or curved; most, but not all, swords have a pointed tip. The hilt, in turn, consists of a guard, a grip, and in most designs a pommel. The guard can be a crossguard like in a typical knight's sword, a disc like the tsuba of a katana, or some more complex design.
It is a weapon strongly associated with elite warriors such as knights and samurai.
