Skallagrim | Knife or Sword? @Skallagrim | Uploaded 8 months ago | Updated 2 hours ago
This is a surprisingly frequently asked question: How do you distinguish a long knife or dagger from a short sword (or saber, machete, etc)?
Are there objective ways of drawing the line, like a specific blade length and/or a type of hilt / handle? Let's discuss it!
