The Blade skill covers combat with weapons possessing a cutting edge used to slice or thrust. Typically, it covers weapons whose actual blade is larger than that of weapons covered by the Knife skill. Exmaples include large machetes, swords and chainsaws.
Blades can be crafted from almost any material which can be fashioned into a sharp edge, including bronze, copper, iron and steel. The strength and durability of a blade can be increased by way work-hardening, heat treating or case hardening.
The Blade skill applies combat with blades, both one- and two-handed. Raising the Blade skill increases the chance to hit enemies when you are wielding an blade-type weapon. __NOTOC__
