Sword
A sword is a weapon commonly utilized in Redwall battles. It typically consists of a long straight or curved blade with one or two sharp edges and a handle or a hilt, which may or may not be decorated with stones. Swords are relatively rare and very prized weapons and are often the objects of envy or pride.
The most famous sword is the Sword of Martin. Many villains also use swords, especially sea rat captains, vermin horde captains, and warlords such as Gabool the Wild.
Skilled craftsmanship is often required in the proper smithing of a sword. Badger Lords of Salamandastron, such as Boar the Fighter, are traditionally considered expert weapon-smiths and their swords are especially effective and powerful in battles.
