The Longsword is a large sword intended to be used one-handed.

It is a type of European sword used during the late medieval period, approximately 1350 to 1550 (with early and late use reaching into the 13th and 17th centuries). Longswords have long cruciform hilts with grips over 10 to 15 cm length (providing room for two hands). Straight double-edged blades are often over 1 m to 1.2 m (40" to 48") length, and weigh typically between 1.2 and 2.4 kg (2½ to 5 lb), with light specimens just below 1 kg (2.2 lb), and heavy specimens just above 2 kg (4½ lb).

If you have Weapon Focus (Longsword) you can make an attack with the sword that deals 1d4 bludgeoning, as advanced techniques involve using the pommel as a part of the weapon. This is usually a poor choice but occasionally it is sensible.
