 This
kind of weapon has been in use from the Bronze Age when the construction of

Early swords were made of solid bronze or copper, these were hard, but
quite brittle. Not until iron could be forged did the sword truly become an
important weapon. Soon, smiths learned that with a proper amount of coal.
