The Simple Shortsword Blade is a roughly forged short blade without a handle. Fitted to a Small Handle, it becomes a Simple Shortsword.
It is the cheaper cousin of the Shortsword Blade. Forge Simple Shortsword Blade makes it at a Simple or better Forge with Blacksmithing 6, and iron is enough. Assemble Bladed Item then joins it to a handle at Maintenance 1. The blade comes in two looks, with a tang and without one.
Using Research Craft on it teaches five forging recipes, including Forge Simple Blade and Forge Machete Blade. The Carpenter is the best occupation for materials. It starts with the most Carpentry skill. For Welding, the Welder starts strongest.
Uses
Assemble Bladed Item is the main use. It takes the blade and a Small Handle and makes a Simple Shortsword. A hammer, club hammer or mallet is kept, and the recipe needs Maintenance 1.
The loose blade can be sharpened with Sharpen Blade, Sharpen Blade Poorly with File or Sharpen Blade with Grindstone.
As scrap, it counts as a medium plus iron item. Smelt Iron From Medium Plus Item gives three Iron Chunk at a Primitive or better Furnace. Smelt Steel From Medium Plus Iron Item gives three Steel Chunk at an Advanced Furnace. Smelt Medium Plus Iron Item melts it into a Small Ceramic Crucible with Iron.
Research Craft teaches Forge Simple Shortsword Blade, Forge Crude Sword Blade, Forge Machete Blade, Forge Simple Blade and Forge Scrap Metal Shortsword.

Notes
- An Iron Bar is enough to forge it, unlike the steel Shortsword Blade.
- A simple forge works, so it comes before an Advanced Forge is built.
- Cutting it down from a Simple Sword Blade leaves a shard for a knife or shiv.
- Dismantling a worn Simple Shortsword saves the blade for a new handle.
