And actually, the first swords, made during the bronze age, were slightly sharp bludgeoning weapons. Bronze is a relatively soft alloy and doesn’t keep an edge very well. After the first couple of whacks, you’re basically breaking bones, not cutting them.

That’s why I always stand by my siege machine. Can’t get more bludgeoning than by dropping a rotting cow carcass on a man.

The sword is the multifunctional battlefield and kitchen tool. It is useful for serving the roasted goat for dinner and opening champaign bottles.
