Description

Since time immemorial, edged weapons have been the embodiment of military valor and masculinity, a symbol of power and prosperity, an honorary award, a talisman and a protective charm. It is no accident that among many peoples they were considered a gift of the gods, a magical object sent down from above. Finally, edged weapons combine two seemingly incompatible qualities. They are both an exquisite work of art and a functional object on which their owner's life depended.
