Melee Combat
Affects the effectiveness of moves in combat whose weights are affected by Melee Combat while fighting with weapons such as Stone axe, Battleaxe of the Twelfth Bay, Militia Sword and Soldier's Sword. e.g. Sting, Valorous Strike.
Also affects the chance of blocking with shield.
source : wiki.Bronze Sword
A bronze sword deals 325 base damage.
How to Acquire
You need to equip a smithy's hammer and you need an anvil to make a bronze sword.
source : wiki.I didn't actually find it, and it seems quite obvious, else I wouldn't ask the question.
So clean up the wiki to be easiest to understand or answer the question. That's what the "How do I" part of the forum is for.
