Who doesn't love swords? That's not what I mean, you perverts!
I want to discuss a topic that most people don't really care about. If you are one of these, that's fine, however I will now use my psychopsychic powers so you can't stop reading this boring pathetic and utterly stupidly retarded idiotical article shmarticle.
This is an example of the swords you may imagine when I tell you the word "fencing", but these 3 swords are not actually swords, they are actually tools for olympic fencing. Do you want an example for a real sword?
This sword is often confused with the previous 3 tools I showed you. But if you notice, this sword has got a blade, it's not "needle" type of blade. There was never in history a "needle" blade sword. It is a misconception created by movies and olympic fencing. The swords of europe evolved from the greek sword, spatha. . Spatha weighs about 1.5kg and is in the length of about 80cm. It evolved in europe into period migration sword, which is also a viking sword. The viking sword has about the same statistics as the spatha. It evolved into Knightly sword AKA arming sword. This sword evolved into 2 branches of swords (keep in mind this sword is one handed and is still 1.5kg, 80cm).
The first branch I would like to mention is two handed swords, which are longer and still the same weight as arming sword. For example - the longsword. The longswords were usually about 1.5kg and 130cm.

The second branch is single handed swords, for example the rapier which weighs about 1.5kg. (this is an italian rapier, the first picture of rapier was more of a spanish one.)

Here is a more accurate tree of evolution of swords in europe.
