A Blade (350 grams; Cr50; TL-3) is a hybrid knife weapon.
Description (Specifications)
It has a heavy, flat two-edged blade nearly 300mm in length, and a semi-basket handguard. Because of the bulk of the hand guard, it is generally carried in a belt scabbard. [1]
A blade can be a variety of smaller, edged weapons including the ubiquitous kitchen knife.
History & Background (Dossier)
The earliest knives tend to fashioned from animal horns or bones should a world possess both a sophont and sophisticated animal life or equivalent creatures. Other sophonts construct knives from volcanic substances including obsidian. During the TL:1-3 epoch, sophonts generally transition from organic materials to various kinds of shaped and smelted metals.
The TL-3 blade represented in this AAB article is a relatively sophisticated knife forged by a blacksmith in a smithy of hard iron and perhaps even sophisticated alloys such as hardened steel.
