Backsword

A backsword is a special kind of sword that has one sharp edge and one flat edge. It’s kind of like a big, grown-up version of a toy sword that you might play with. You use it to fight bad guys or imaginary dragons!

The sharp edge of the backsword is used for cutting things like branches or even other swords. The flat edge is used for blocking or hitting things without hurting them too bad. Like when you play knights and hit your friend’s sword, but not too hard!

Backswords have been around for a really long time and were popular in places like England and Scotland a long time ago. They were even used by knights and soldiers in battles! But it’s important to remember that real swords aren’t toys and should only be used by very skilled people.
