      Axes, Swords and Knives

      Blade implements have been a part of civilized man's journey since the
Paleolithic Age, when sharp tools were chipped off of flint or obsidian. But
with the discovery of metallurgy, people were able to forge stronger, more
versatile blade implements. We visit an axe-throwing contest in Wisconsin
for an introduction to the least subtle of the blade tools. Then we visit a
swordsmith and an experienced swordfighter who work in traditional methods
from ancient sources, and review the history of knives.
