The Long-Sword is a weapon that has a long double-edged blade and handle long enough for two hands. This larger weapon enabled fighters to make stronger cuts or powerful thrust against their opponent. These swords were in use as early as the 14th century. The length varied between 40" and 48", with 48" being a common length. Authentic steel weapons weigh from 2.5 to 3.5 lbs. (1.1 to 1.6kg)
