Swords historically were forged by Man in 3300 BC, and the best swordsmen wrote history upon the earth with the blood of his opponent. Sword technology continued to forge mankind's history up until the late 1800's AD. Family lines and social classes were defined by their willingness and skill with a sword, where father passed his sword and skill down to his son. During the Bronze Age, swords were cast with an alloy of tin and copper, also were shorter in length to compensate for the metals tensile strength. During the Iron Age, sword materials allowed for longer swords with slightly higher strength, but once carbon steel was discovered, the sword would reach it's prime. The Greek developed a sword dubbed the Xiphos, and the Romans ruled Europe with the Roman Gladius. Around the same time, the sword became a symbol of honor and nobility, where historically, a father would pass his sword down to his son. Europeans developed the crossguard, which assisted in sword skirmishes for blocking and striking in a single maneuver. By 900 AD in eastern Asia (notably Japan) a single edged, high carbon steel sword was forged which had a curved blade and a thick spine, birthing the Samurai Katana, which was used until the 1800's when the Meiji Restoration took place in Japan. In Europe the double-edged Longsword was nearly unrivaled for it's universal battle superiority, and later the Scottish Claymore was introduced. Scottish Claymore swords were proficient at cutting down even an opponent on horseback, it could crush an opponent wearing armor. Renaissance Swords like the Renaissance Rapier were highly effective in battles against armored opponents, making precision strikes through cracks between armor plating. As the sword was replaced with gunpowder, Sabers became a ceremonial tool and symbol of rank and duty. The Saber is held in one hand and has a curved blade which might have roots stemming from the Scimitar or other south-Asian or Arabian blade types. The most advanced swords invented have been the Samurai Katana, the Cavalry Saber, and finally the modernized Machete.
