All Edged And Melee Weapons

Edged and other hand-to-hand weapons used in war: swords, sabres, daggers, knives and bayonets carried, thrown or fixed to a firearm for close combat, the standard edged-weapons class of ordnance reference works. Belongs here: any weapon system whose own attested weapon class names a sword, sabre, dagger, knife or bayonet. Does not belong here: a firearm that merely accepts a bayonet, which stays classed by its own firearm type. Reassigned from the Weapons Systems Contemporary and Modern catch-alls.
