Longsword

A Longsword is a standard One Handed Sword normally used with a Shield. The 'Longsword' is normally spoken Long Sword or a Long-SwordThe Long-sword is sold by most even the lowest of skill Weaponsmiths. They are the first weapon most learn to create, correctly at least. Unlike the similar Bastard Sword, a Long-sword is light, easy to swing, and not two handed. Long-swords are, like said, Long double Edged Swords (See 'Blade'). The attribute of the Long-Sword was made to break the defense of Plate Armor. The Rapier is a newer, slimmer version of the Long-Sword. It pierces, instead of Slashes. Unlike the Long-Sword, the Rapier is a Stabbing weapon.



= The Parts of a Long-Sword = There are many parts of a Long-Sword. From the Hilt, to the Blade, there are 10 basic parts in all. Two Parts in the Hilt, One Between them, and 7 inside the Blade. In between the Blade, and the Hilt is a well know Cross-Guard. Cross-Guards come out of the Hilt, and are normally steel. They go both left and right, making the line between the two. This could be taken easily as part of the Hilt, though it ends up what separates the two.



Hilt
At the bottom of a Long-Sword is the Pommel. A Pommel is a Steel circle, sometime square, rounded at the very bottom of the Hilt. Not all Swords have these, nor all Long-Swords, but they are a great use inside Battle. When bringing down the sword to hit ones head with the Hilt, the Pommel is what does the real damage. Like a hardened rock, it dents their helmet or breaks their skull. Next is the Grip. Grips are normally made with steel, and surrounded with Kodo leather to keep your hands in position. The Grip is between the Cross-Guard and the Pommel.

Blade
The Blade of a Long-sword is everything that is above the Cross-Guard. A Long-Sword has two edges, meaning they can cut from either side. Most Swords do not have this, only having one edge and the other Blunted. A very useful part of the Blade is the Rain Guard. The Rain-Guard is a small outer dent at the bottom of the Blade, connected to the Cross-Guard. This is what keeps the Long-Sword itself together. The Center of a Long-Sword normally have Fullers. These are Grooves or Channels running through the blade, down to the Flats of the Blade. The Edge of a Long-Sword is sharp normally, but over time they slowly become rigid and blunter, which doesn't make them any weaker but does make there cutting attribute slowly fade. There is also the Central Ridge. The Central Ridge is produced by a angular geometry known as a riser
