Tell me.  Do you know why it is that the sword, above all else, be celebrated as the weapon of the warrior?

 

The bow is better for striking down a foe at range, and the dagger if they be overly close.  The hammer is better for crushing mail and bone, and the axe for hewing limbs and striking with might.  The spear and the halberd and all such polearms are better for ranks of soldiery, and the fist be best of all for subduing an enemy without causing overmuch hurt.

 

Why, then, be the sword beloved beyond all?

"Three things, above all, a man needs in battle," Eldewine said to his son.

"A good sword or spear, a helmet and a shield. With the sword you draw blood and bring your foes to their knees; with the shield you protect yourself and the man beside you; with the helmet you protect that which you need to protect the most: your vision, your hearing, and your senses. Bring these tools with you into battle, and let them become a part of you, like your own limbs."

Real Steel Heruwargr with scabbard

Waelden's sword Heruwargr with its scabbard, an heirloom of his father, who was rewarded with it after a skirmish of legend. It is a sharp and agile sword, swift and deadly in any hand that wields it, and Waelden treasures it dearly. It is his weapon of choice in most situations, where a spear just isn't viable or becomes too cumbersome, and it has saved his life on many occasions.
The story behind the sword can be found here: Of Warg and Man

Heruwargr I name this blade; forged in roaring fire, and bathed in wolf's blood to sate its hunger of birth. I hereby bestow it upon brave Eldewine; hero of the Wold, slayer of vicious wargs. Long may the hilt rest well in your hand, long may the blade bite like a wolf's fangs, and long may it protect yourself and your kin from the servants of shadow. Wear it with pride, wear it with honor, and swing it for the Mark. Sing and howl in the hand of your new master, Heruwargr! Hail, brave Eldewine!
