The close range weaponry

In medieval times one of the most common weapons was a blade weather it be a small knife of a two hand great-sword. We will start with the smallest weapon used for battle. The smallest weapon used for battle in medieval times would be a dagger, now daggers were common as sort of a back up weapon because they were lightweight yet could do a lot of damage. The basic length for a dagger would have been around 20 inches long overall. Next we have the short sword and yes it is pretty much exactly like the name says, its just a small sword from 25 to 35 inches long and are more of a stab you in the gut weapon.
