Short-Swords are martial melee weapons.
In essence, this weapon was a smaller version of the longsword, bt was longer than a dagger or dirk. It possessed many of the same parts, such as a generally double-edged blade, cross-guard, grip, and pommel. The blade was typically 12 to 20 inches (0.3 to 0.51 meters) long with a sharp point.
