Custom swords

History of swords

Historically, the sword developed around 1600 BC, evolving from the dagger. The army of the Roman Empire gave birth to the spatha, the predecessor of the medieval European sword. The High Middle Ages saw the development of the classical arming sword with a crossguard. Concurrently, a sword with curved blade, the saber, became popular in Europe, brought by the Magyars and the Turkic expansion in the 9th century. Since then, western sword design diverged into two main forms – the thrusting swords and the sabers. Altogether, there are many kinds of swords, depending on their structure: the shape of a blade can be either straight or curved, it can have one or two cutting edges and many other peculiarities. The curved sword dominant in Eastern Europe and Near East, became, by the 18th century, a popular type in the Western world as well, both for infantry and cavalry, and even developed a ceremonial meaning.
