Difference between knife and sword
The spirit
and significance contained in a sword mean the short edge tool with a sharp tip
used in battles.
Knife is a utensil just like the cutter called nowadays, which is
not necessarily used in battles. It is lack of lethality due to flat tip.
For a better
understanding on the knife and sword, we can divide them by their flat or sharp
tips, which are the characteristics to be distinguished by us at a glance.
