Even the top tier isn't really a weapon but a tool designed to clear plants. It just seems a shame that there is in general a lack of bladed actual weapons. In addition Iron swords can and did exist (although not as effective obviously as steel). So in conclusion, have any devs mentioned more bladed weapons coming in the future? The last two perks of deep cuts even sort of hint at swords with mentions of samurai. Even as a loot only or schematic only, an actual sword would be awesome- for design purposes I believe a two handed sword would be specifically nice. Right now the majority of bladed weapons aren't even primarily weapons but animal harvesting tools. I've always felt missing is an actual sword. A18 also saw a good deal of new weapons something I hope continues. as much as I'm getting hit in melee now, I do think its a step in the right direction.

TLDR just asking if the devs have stated more bladed weapons coming in the future before I post in the suggestions/feedback/pipedream forum
