Edged Weapons

by Frederick Wilkinson

For the greatest part of mankind's history, shaping of the environment was primarily carried out by the use of edged weapons -- the axes, war clubs, arrows, spears, swords, and daggers with which he slew game to feed his family, drove off the beasts which threatened his continued existence, and butchered his fellow man in the slow, bloody, sprawling progress of a developing society.
