Here are details of the book from the publisher.
Since sharpened tools emerged, edged weapons have played an incredible role in the shaping of human history. As well as being deadly weapons of war, they were used in the hunt for food, to battle for honour and in wars.
Elaborately decorated and imbued with countless myths, it is little wonder that these weapons have become some of history’s most powerful status symbols.
This comprehensive encyclopedia traces the fascinating history of knives, daggers, bayonets, swords, sabres and lances, from their Palaeolithic origins through to the 21st Century. It explores the dagger’s role as an essential companion during battle and civilian life, the apogee of the sword as a battle weapon, the world of the medieval knights and crusaders, and the Middle Eastern armies they fought. Weapons from around the world are examined, such as the decorated daggers of Persia and the exquisite knives of Japan.
The directory is a superb pictorial guide featuring 750 examples of sharp-edged weapons. It describes the origins, capabilities and specifications of each one, from the polearms and daggers of medieval Europe and the cavalry sabres of the 17th Century to the swords of the Russian empire and the classic commando knives of World War II.
With 1500 photographs and illustrations, and written by leading experts in the field, this beautiful guide is an indispensable resource for the serious collector and amateur enthusiast alike, and will fascinate anyone with an interest in historical weapons.

Here are details of the book from the publisher.
From the first flint spearheads to modern Olympic fencing, edged weapons have played an important part in the shaping of human history. These include not only the deadly blades of war but also those used in hunting, as badges of rank and honour, and as the ultimate fashion accessory.
This beautifully illustrated book traces the history of swords, spears and lances to the 21st Century. From the Palaeolithic origins and the appearance of the first swords in Bronze Age Europe and Mesopotamia, it describes how these edged weapons were used to establish and maintain some of the greatest civilizations in the world.
After studying the development of the sword as a weapon of war in ancient and classical times, the book moves on to the Crusades followed by the Renaissance and the Napoleonic eras. By this time the sword was a powerful status symbol and a deadly duelling weapon, but it was still also the most common weapon on the battlefield. This continued until the end of the 19th Century, when warfare became almost entirely based on long-range artillery and accurate small arms.
With sections on the sword in Japanese, Chinese, African and Indian cultures, and an examination of the American sword and naval swords, this book presents a broad-ranging work on edged weapons of all types. The informative text, with over 230 illustrations, forms an indispensable resource for all enthusiasts.
