Arming Sword

The Arming Sword is a straight, double-edged sword, designed for use with one hand, partnered with a shield. Arming Swords have a very broad age of use, and in Song of Swords, come in several "generations," the Early, Chivalric, and Late Arming Swords. The Early Arming Sword seems to focus primarily on slashing and thrusting, both through soft armors. The Chivalric Arming Sword is best at cutting overall, and the Late Arming Sword is the best at thrusting.
In Tattered Realms, these swords are fairly ubiquitous. Sarah Gizka, for example, owns a Late Arming Sword, though she prefers the use of her rapier.
