Publisher's Synopsis

Since sharpened tools emerged almost one million years ago, edged weapons have played an incredible role in the shaping of human history. This volume traces the history of daggers, knives and bayonets through to the 21st century. The directory features more than 350 examples, from ancient Egyptian flint knives to the rondel and ballock daggers of medieval Europe, and from the 17th-century plug bayonets to the commando knives of World War II.
