Symbol
They are a symbol that represent all that came before. The craftsmen, the users, the warrior class for generations have trained/used/kept. At times even the peasants were made to carry edged weapons in support of their rulers.
Weapon
Can be used for defense or offense. I don't think it is likely to be used for offense. I have a couple of Lathi sticks, a Bo, Bokken, couple of swords, firearms and knives around the house that I would use to defend myself and family if the situation ever arose.
Training
In the past I have had much more opportunity to train with the various weapons above. Now with family and work not so much. The training is both great for confidence and fitness.
