Bilbo

Slender thrusting blade

Bilbo is a type of sword with a finely tempered blade, named after Bilbao, Spain, where such blades were made.

The word is now archaic and rarely encountered outside historical texts.

Most contemporary readers know Bilbo only as the hobbit protagonist of Tolkien's *The Hobbit*: Bilbo Baggins.
