Forged in Fire (2015)

I really like this show, but I really wish they would do an episode on forging weapons for ladies. In the Middle Ages in Europe and the Middle East women would have beautiful daggers made (gold and gemstones) and in Japan, female assassins would use the Japanese fans to kill their targets. I don’t think one episode geared towards women’s uses of daggers, knives, swords, and fans would go amiss.

While I am sure that an episode or more dedicated to the weapons of famous female Warriors would be just as enjoyable as any other, I’m afraid that I agree with BladesofTroy when he says that there would have been little to no distinction between what a woman carried to War as opposed to a man.
Those gold and gemstone encrusted daggers you speak of were worn by ALL nobility (Not just Women) and just about anyone else who could afford them, with their functionality being more on the order of ‘Hey look what I can afford to waste money on’ and less about practicality.
Japanese War fans were a thing the Samurai class trained in and used, also both female and male.
