Sword
Weapon · WeaponMelee0★A properly keen blade for close-range fighting — more use in a scrap than a pen, at any rate. Crafted at a Weapon Workbench.
Sword is 39th of 79 melee weapons by attack, at 360 against the 2,400 of Laser Sword.
It feeds no other recipe, which makes it a terminal item: craft what you will actually carry and stop there.
Details
At 10 weight each it eats carry capacity fast, so bring a mount or park a chest nearby.

Sword is not something you find lying around — you craft it, and the recipe is below.
Every Tier of Sword
The same piece exists at 5 rarities, and the gap is not cosmetic: attack runs 360 to 540, a 1.5x swing. Which one you end up with is decided by the rarity of the schematic you built from, not by the recipe — so a legendary copy of this is worth more than the next item up built from a common one.
Alternatives and Upgrades
Excalibur matches it exactly at 360 attack — those two differ in what they resist and what they weigh, not in raw attack, so picking between them is a swap rather than an upgrade. The next real step is Sword at 396; below it is Refined Metal Spear at 310.
