Swords are weapons with a long metal blade and a hilt with a hand guard, used for cutting or thrusting. They are primarily historical or ceremonial tools and are iconic symbols in history and fantasy literature.

Remember: 'Swords' are for 'Lords'. Both words rhyme and the 'w' in swords is silent just like the 'w' in 'wrong'.
