The Iron Sword (鉄の剣 Tetsu no tsurugi) is the most basic sword in a majority of the titles in the Fire Emblem series. This is attributed to the fact that the Iron Sword is usually the weakest and cheapest there ever is, and which is often the most durable as well. The Iron Sword is known to possess no special bonuses to its critical percentages, unlike weapons that include the likes of the Slim Sword and the Killing Edge. An enemy-exclusive ranged version of the weapon, the Iron Throwing Sword (鉄の投撃剣 Tetsu no tōgeki tsurugi), also appears in Fire Emblem: Fates.
On the whole, the common consensus is that the Iron Sword is perceived to be the most useful weapon, by virtue of its well-rounded characteristics and widespread availability.
