Weapon:Back-sword (crafted)

A back-sword is a melee-range Heavy Edged metal weaponsmithing template.

It is a 06- Somewhat Challenging template, uses 8 volumes of metal, and is covered by the Advanced Bladed Weapon Design technique.

It is 9 by 2 by 1 spans.

This metal weapon has the standard construction values for its type.

The crafted hunting swords, nimshas, and recades are also identical to this template.
