A commonly over looked type of sword are Ancient Greek Swords. However they play a big part of history. We will be reviewing the Xyphos in great detail in this article.
Xiphos are Ancient Greek Swords that were utilized as a Secondary Battle Weapon by the Ancient Greeks. They were around during the Archaic Period from around 800 BC to 146 BC. The primary Battle Weapon of the Greeks was the spear and javelin. The typical Xiphos Blade is about 50-60 Centimeters in Length. However rumor has it that the Spartans were using blades about 1/2 this size during the Greco Persian Wars. The Cross Section of this weapon is usually diamond or lenticular which means lens shaped or shaped like a lens.
Xiphos Ancient Greek Swords were typically worn over a Baldric which was slung over the left arm. A Baldric is a belt which was used to sling a weapon over someones shoulder. Although the term Baldric is often referred to as just about any belt, this verbage is not technically correct and is typically used in poetry and mythology writings only.
Baldrics have been around and were used by the Greeks since the Ancient Times. The design of the Baldric is supports heavier weight much better than a generic waist belt does. Also using one of these allows unobstructed movement of the arms and allowed Greek Soldiers to grab the weapon quickly when they needed it for battle. Most of the time the Baldric was used in the Traditional Greek Military, however, they have been known to be used in ceremonial functions as well. Sometimes Military or Paramilitary outfits used these when they dressed up for ceremonies.
Xiphos Ancient Greek Swords were shaped like a left, so they were great at thrusting and cutting opponents on the battle fields. The design of the Xiphos hasn't changed since its original model. These blades were typically made of Bronze and Iron. This was a preferred material since these metals are softer than steel and allows them to be forged easily. The original Xiphos was made from bronze. Later though they were constructed with iron.

Katana: The Samurai Sword $14.49 The Samurai sword of Japan is probably the finest edged weapon ever made. This volume, written by leading Samurai expert Stephen Turnbull, reveals the story of how and why it achieved this distinction, from the sword's unique metallurgy to its use in combat, where one stroke often decided the victor. Particular attention is paid to the development of the familiar curved blade from the original straight blades, the associated development of Japan's famous steel-making techniques and the challenges from contemporary warfare. Together with the technical details of forging, polishing, mounting and testing, this volume is brought to life with details of the great swordmakers themselves. Moreover, no history of the sword would be complete without a detailed examination of its use in combat, from the greatest Samurai armies to individual duels and revenge killings. Personal accounts allow the reader to discover the art of Japanese swordsmanship in the hands of masters such as Miyamoto Musashi to the unnamed Japanese warrior defending his family's honor. This lively text is perfectly complemented by artwork reconstructions of the sword in use and color photographs of the swords in use. |

Katana (Paperback) $17.25 Kill Bill meets Buffy in this supernatural samurai tale. Rileigh Martin would love to believe that adrenaline gave her the uncanny courage and strength to fend off three muggers. But it doesn’t explain her dreams of fifteenth-century Japan, the incredible fighting skills she suddenly possesses, or the strange voice giving her battle tips and danger warnings. While worrying that she’s going crazy (always a reputation ruiner), Rileigh gets a visit from Kim, a handsome martial arts instructor, who tells Rileigh she’s harboring the spirit of a five-hundred-year-old samurai warrior. Relentlessly attacked by ninjas, Rileigh has no choice but to master the katana—a deadly Japanese sword that’s also the key to her past. As the spirit grows stronger and her feelings for Kim intensify, Rileigh is torn between continuing as the girl she’s always been and embracing the warrior inside her. |
