Why Swords?

Why were they so popular as status symbols and tools of war or personal defense? What made people in many (not all) places and time periods in history see a sword as more valuable or desirable than an axe, polearm, etc? I don't think there is a definitive answer but I felt like elaborating on my subjective thoughts about this topic.
