Different tools from knives to swords?

I am just starting this obcession. I would like to ONE day be able to make swords in addition to knives and daggers, my question would be, I understand most of my tools will be able to do both, which ones will I need different from knives/daggers to swords.

I would assume a longer forge to heat up the entire length of a swordblade, but are there other tools, Specific to swords, that I would need that I have not thought about yet?

Thanks!

Steven

I'v made a few swords.
Didn't need anything different, except a longer quench tube, and a lot more time.
