History
The Vered Jericho Sword is an Israelite sword dating to the 7th cent. BCE and is one of the earliest examples of steel weaponry. It was discovered in an archeological site near Jericho, and it is exceptional due to it's size, material and sophisticated construction.
Here is the museum description of the sword: This rare and exceptionally long sword, which was discovered on the floor of a building next to the skeleton of a man, dates to the end of the First Temple period. The sword is 1.05 meters long and has a double edged blade, with a prominent central ridge running along its entire length. The hilt was originally inlaid with a material that has not survived, most probably wood. Only the nails that once secured the inlays to the hilt can still be seen. The sword’s sheath was also made of wood, and all that remains of it is its bronze tip. Owing to the length and weight of the sword, it was probably necessary to hold it with two hands. The sword is made of iron hardened into steel, attesting to substantial metallurgical know-how. Over the years, it has become cracked, due to corrosion." (Biblical Archaeology Review 12/4 [July-August 1986]: 33, 35)
