It's not the most visually elaborate sword but the other day I was fascinated by the story of radical abolitionist John Brown who was fighting slavery with a broadsword:

A photo of abolitionist John Brown is seen at the John Brown Museum in Osawatomie, Kansas, with a broadsword similar to ones used by Brown and his sons.

For a bonus cool dagger story might I interest you in Tutankhamun's iron dagger that came from space: www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-m...
