Doesn't mean they need to sell it with a fork and a spoon. It could look a bit less like tableware.

@elricdotah 7 лет назад

Well...no, because that's the point of the Weapon. It was allowed to wear because it was "tableware" and not a weapon (knife instead of a sword). I agree that this makes it not look so good, but I prefer details like that over looks.

@hrotha 7 лет назад

@TheWVgoodguy22 6 лет назад

What a fantastic list Skall, and I like that you divided them into two categories. When you brought out the Lockwood longsword I fell in love with it, especially in that Dark Forest Ranger green. One should wear a matching colored hooded cloak while wielding such a beauty. Sometimes a simple aesthetic is very pleasing. Of course on the opposite end I really enjoy the Town Guard Sidesword, what a brilliant combination of a well tapered and cut and thrust shaped blade, with the elegance of a rapier style hilt. That commissioned piece is pretty amazing design and pulled off 100x better than your first commissioned Viking sword like object. lol .... Who can argue with the Albion Knecht as you favorite practical sword. The Giant German War "Knife" looks like a fantastic weapon to handle in the proper environment (aka the forest so not to hurt someone else), I like the utilitarian aesthetic as well. Oh and I and your significant other's love for Chinese swords is pretty cool and I like the look and functionality (from watching you two use it, sadly I never have handled a functional sword) of that sword, and I too am a huge fan of the GREEN wrapped grip on that sword and your others, so much better than boring black or brown. Thanks for sharing.

@FirebladeXXL 7 лет назад

lol how awesome would it be if in medieval times people would have reviewed swords in front of the crowd as skall does :D

@meltedplasticarmyguy 7 лет назад

I have a feeling they did, to an extent. When a new model/style was invented the inventor had to have a way to peddle it, even if it was only to people of means. The masters would then figure out how to use it. I can picture a couple of knights hanging around BSing about the latest hardware coming out of Spain, Germany, Italy, etc...

@MrThistleMilk 5 лет назад

The guard for the Keris/Kris traditionally is used to stab hands that try to grab and control your wrist, that's why it has that sharp point, but this doesn't apply to larger Filipino Kris swords, but for the rest of us in the Nusantara archipelago that's what we use the guard for.

@rikishikato5001 7 лет назад

That Kris looks like a heavy modified version of Indonesian's Keris or the combination between Keris and Parang/Golok (Both are Indonesian's traditional weapons) Keris was made wavy-shaped because of reasons. from what my grandfather told me, it was made like that to inflict more pain when it used to thrust. it's not that good for slicing, but it's really painful when it pierced you (also some Indonesian martial artist used jin / genie INSIDE the keris. We, Indonesians, were known for our mythical practice, man)

@zaboobebop 7 лет назад

well with the southern philippines (where the kalis is from) being so close to indonesia and malaysia, we were definitely inspired by your blade but needed a bit of a filipino flare, so we added some chopping power lol.

@rikishikato5001 7 лет назад

Buk Lau hahayy, chopping power. so, kalis has wider and thicker blade? and from what I saw in the video, it seems that kalis is also almost as big as traditional machete

@zaboobebop 7 лет назад

Riki Shikato thats right. machete, bolo, shortsword, whatever you want to call them, are the most common in the philippines in general. but in the south, besides the wide bladed kalis, they also use the smaller kris dagger as both a weapon and status symbol.

@Gwyll_Arboghast 7 лет назад

the messer was designed to have a steak knife handle, so it would legally be a knife and civilians could carry it.

@KanaiIle 7 лет назад

That is actually a misconception. There are no documented cases from the relevant time frame in Germany, the Messers country of origin, where civilians were forbidden to carry swords. On the contrary, citizens were often required to own arms by the city council, and wearing swords around was such a common display of pride and status that restricting someones right to wear a sword was used as punishment for disruptive behavior. It´s more likely that the knife-hilt construction has its origins in medieval guild law, where knifemakers and swordmakers were seperated guilds which had strict rules on what they were allowed to make and what not. Basically, the knife-turned-swords could have been a way that the knife smiths got their share of the sword making business.

Did u know about an old sword made by a muslim with a technology and technique that even modern technologies today can't even recreate? It said to be a 2 pointed scimitar that's so sharp, when clashed with other swords, the other swords got cut!

Muhammad Hamiz Highly unlikely

@Skallagrim 7 лет назад

That sounds like bogus. Source? The claim "modern technology can't recreate this" is always nonsense. It usually comes from a misrepresentation of what archaeologists mean when they say they don't know how a particular historical artifact was made. It means they don't know how people were able to make it with the technology they had available at the time. There is no historical sword (or any object) that couldn't be made nowadays, the question is just can we figure out the exact way they did it?

I think he means the damascus steel. However it's greatly exaggerated. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damascus_steel

Skal, your Castlevania shirt is awesome.

Damn, that Lockwood SL-1009 looks awesome with the green grip and blackened hilt. I juggled it and the Albion Talhoffer in my head for a week before I made the decision to order the Talhoffer.

Both number 2s are lovely.

Skall you should make a video talking about your top 5 favorite/recommended makers to buy from!

The pommel on Viking style swords is meant to be gripped in the palm. The Norse didn’t craft these precise blades with such an obvious defect. The problem is many modern styles do not take weight into account when recreating this single-handed blade that was intended to be held partially by the pommel. If the blade is too heavy to manipulate dexterously and effectively with one hand the handle need to be lengthened to compensate.

I guessed right when it came to the number one aesthetic! :D That Tinker sword is far more gorgeous than the two cutlasses, in my opinion.

Badass symphony of the night shirt!!!

That Town Guard sword is possibly the prettiest sword I've ever seen. I've wanted one since I first saw your video on it. Of course, it's way outside of my price range.

@tidepoolclipper8657 6 дней назад

My favorite regarding aesthetics would be Mainz Gladius. Other big favorites of mine would be Crown Basket Hilt Rapier, 1860 American Light Cavalry Saber, Katana, and Yanling Dao.

You know, I actually think I saw your videos involving the Kris. Still, love how informative you are, Skallagrim. Great video. One thing I'd like to ask, do you handle throwing weapons much anymore? I've seen videos of the pipe tomahawk and the SOG Fasthawk, but what would you have to recommend in the way of throwing knives, if anything?

@ericosborne4122 7 лет назад

Hey Skallagrim! It would be really cool if you made a video going over the Japanese Naginata as I'm curious how effective the design is compared to other, say, European weapons.
