Cactus Sword

The  is a weapon that can be crafted with 7 Wood at a Work Bench. It deals 7 base damage, and has the wide swinging arc of a Broadsword.

The Wooden Sword should probably be the first melee weapon crafted by most players, as it is better at fending off most of the enemies that one is likely to encounter at the start of the game than the default Copper Shortsword.
