The history, manufacture, and ancient and modern uses of swords in
Europe from the 5th century to today can be found here in one
convenient source. Learn sword nomenclature and classification,
discover sword physics secrets, and compare the history of
swordsmanship in Europe to that of Japan. Practical information on
different sword types, including those used by Vikings and Samurai,
broadens the reader's understanding of the technical diversity of
and relationships between swords from different eras and cultures.
Readers can also learn how to tell authentic swords apart from
fantasy swords, or "sword-like objects" (SLO), which are commonly
used in movies like the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Also, follow the
manufacturing process, from welding to pommel construction, and
read about historical replicas. Join the authors and countless
other featured sword masters and experts on a fact-based and
fun-filled adventure from the Middle Ages to modern Europe.
