So I've seen some other people do this so I though what the heck why don't I do one, so here is the tier list or whatever you call it.
This is how I'm gonna rank this
S: Absolutely overpowered
A: A really good weapon
B: An average weapon
C: Not recommended to use
D: not utterly useless
F: Why would you try to use this??

1. copper shortsword
Rank: f
Damage: 5
do I really need to explain this. The copper shortsword is the first weapon you spawn in with when you create a world, the copper shortsword has little range and you can only stab in front of you, in 1.4 the sword got buffed and now you can stab it in any direction but again this is based off 1.3 not 1.4, this weapon is basically pointless even in the beginning of the game
2.copper broadsword
Rank:f
Damage: 8
the copper broadsword is the weakest broadsword in the game, the copper broadsword does do more damage then the copper shortsword and it's swung overhead, but copper is not the easiest ore to find which you could get a wooden sword way easier, if copper wasnt as hard to find this sword would be ranked d but for now its f
3. Tin shortsword
Damage:7
Rank: f
no need for an explanation it's a shortsword that's a little better then the copper shortsword. It's the second worst shortsword in the game
4. Tin broadsword
Rank: d
Damage: 9
it's a ok upgrade from copper but otherwise there is nothing special about this sword
5.iron shortsword
Rank: d
Damage: 8
okay I'm just gonna say this DONT use shortswords, and If you do I would skip copper and tin and go straight to an iron shortsword
6. Iron broadsword
Rank: d
Damage: 10
honestly I'm gonna say 1 damage honestly you could keep your tin broadsword
7.wooden sword
Rank:d
Damage:7
easiest early game sword to get in my opinion, right when you spawn in the world I would chop down a tree and get wood armor and wood sword but once you go mining it's pointless
8.palm wood sword
Rank:f
Damage: 8
this sword is garbage, first of all you have to go to the beach to get it and by then you'll already have a better sword
9. boreal wood sword
Rank: d
Damage: 8
basically this is the snow biome wood sword
10. Rich mahogany sword
Rank: f
Damage: 8
again you have to go to the jungle to get this sword, most new players won't last a second in the jungle, they will need better weapons and gear by the time they reach the jungle, ultimately it's pointless, AND CAN WE STOP WITH THE WOODEN SWORDS ALREADY
11. Cactus sword
Rank:d
Damage:8
finally not a wooden sword, you might be wondering why this is d rank, well the cactus sword is a really easy weapon to get , it also has pretty long range of could be useful for the beginning of the game
12.lead shortsword
rank: d
damage: 9
this shortsword is for worlds that don't have iron but instead have lead, this shortsword does more damage then the iron shortsword that makes it a little better
13.lead broadsword
rank:d
damage:11
the ebonwood sword is a better version of the wooden sword but its harder to find ( it is only found in corruption), the shadewood sword is the ebonwood sword just found in the crimson
16. tungsten shortsword
rank:d
damage: 10
the tungsten shortsword is a better shortsword, my experience with tungsten isn't great it pretty hard for me to find it might just be me but in my opinion tungsten isn't the easiest to find
17. tungsten broadsword
rank: d
damage: 12
the tungsten broadsword is one f the better beginning broadswords, its not necessarily good but its not bad
18. silver shortsword
rank: d
damage: 9
you can only get this sword if your world was blessed with silver instead of tungsten, if you got silver instead of tungsten your kinda unlucky, silver gear does less damage but is easier to find in my opinion
19. silver broadsword
rank:d
damage: 11
a worse version of the tungsten broadsword, what else can i say
20. gold shortsword
rank: d
damage: 12
one of the best early game shortswords, this would be c but gold is hard to find
21. gold broadsword
rank: d
damage: 13
the gold shortsword made it seem like the gold broadsword would be pretty good but NO! gold is not easy find and it only does 13 damage, this weapon is kind've a let down
22. platinum shortsword.
rank d
damage: 13
this is a huge upgrade for shortswords, the platinum is the strongest shortsword in 1.3.
23.platinum broadsword
rank:c
damage: 15
the platinum broadsword is a really good sword early on, the fast speed makes it better then the War Axe of the Night
24. stylish scissors
rank: d
damage: 14
although the damage is good you might have to kill the stylist 8 times, killing the stylist once can be a challenge but killing eight times would be a challenge lets not also forget you have to mine and encounter a spider cave in order to find her
25.bladed glove
rank: d
damage : 12
the speed on this weapons makes it the pre-hardmode version of the Fetid Baghnakhs, although the speed is incredible it can only be found during halloween
26. zombie arm
rank:d
damage: 12
