Recurring Role |
The Fall River, Massachusetts home of accused axe murderer Lizzie Borden, the very place where her father and stepmother were hacked to death, is now a macabre bed and breakfast.
England's Queen Elizabeth employed four ceremonial swords during her coronation in 1953: the Sword of Mercy, the Sword of Spiritual Justice, the Sword of Temporal Justice and the Sword of State.
A surprising number of ancient swords are found in riverbeds. No one knows exactly why.
The edge on a knife blade can be honed to a razor sharp one micron width. A human hair is roughly 100 microns wide.
Narrator: They chop, they dice, they slash, they lop, they slay, but wait, there's more! They're among man's earliest, deadliest yet most useful tools and thousands of years later they're still razor sharp. It's a special TV offer! Now: Axes, Swords and Knives, on Modern Marvels.
