A sword is a handheld weapon usually made of metal, not unlike a large knife. It consists of a T-shaped handle and a long blade. Swords are far less effective than guns but many races utelise them as their initial weapon; it was used on many planets for thousands of years. Even when it was superseded, the sword was still carried ceremonially as a symbol of honor. (DW: Revelation of the Daleks)
