The sword as a piercing weapon dates to the Bronze Age and as a slashing weapon dates to the Classical Age. It does not enjoy the ubiquity of the dagger let alone of the axe. In addition to its martial employment, it is often the executioner's instrument of choice, although it is not assured of effecting a beheading with a single blow.
