1 minute in and you insult my beloved Dacian Falx by calling it fantasy?! *throws gauntlet* Prepare to taste the poorly made and unrefined steel of my ancestors, you scoundrel!

@Skallagrim 7 лет назад

It's still in need of repair, so that's why I didn't include it.

@HDGSaman 7 лет назад

*picks gauntlet off the ground* Oh... Alright then. You win this time! *runs in the mountains*

@Skallagrim 7 лет назад

DraMattIck Hey, you forgot something... **picks up pommel, throws after you**

@dtm5947 7 лет назад

Now that, is how to end someone rightly.

@OwlskiTV 7 лет назад

You know.. I was browsing your channel earlier and thought to myself; "I wonder when Skal is gonna do another video showcasing his collection?" This coincidence is... unsettling to say the least.

@Skallagrim 7 лет назад

See, it's all your fault. :)

@hiddengardenflowerdance 6 лет назад

I really enjoy these list-like videos, they really clear things up. keep up the great work Skall!

@michaelkores6860 7 лет назад

I can understand your "concern" but I - and I guess most subscribers - would never think that you will ever make such a video for bragging. Simply because we all got to know you as a very modest person and so I for sure can appreciate such a video for the informative value and I would like to see such a video on a regular Basis - let's say once a year or so. So keep up the good work and best wishes from Austria, Michael.

@Moozart 7 лет назад

"In the thrust, you don't want it to flop around all over the place". True Skall! :D

Is, "End him rightly," just a huge joke for this channel now? If so, I fully approve.

@lordjs9726 7 лет назад

Skall, you and Cara have amazing taste in weapons. I like almost every one of those.

@letmepreachhisname2184 7 лет назад

LOOK AT ALL HIS SHIT! In all seriousness, you have a really nice and diverse collection. It is entertaining to see all those arms from different eras and cultures, while you talk about them in a more casual way, hearing about things that would not be included in a traditional, professional review (reviews are still awesome btw). Thank you for the video. Cheers!

@jrthehunter4309 7 лет назад

lol you are one of the only youtubers that actually consistently links the videos you refer to in the description. So many people say "I'll link that in the description" then when you check, they have a description as empty as the brain of the guy who thought throwing a pommel was a good idea. Good job

@tylerworrell3003 7 лет назад

Its not a Gladius, but the Windlass Quama is pretty similar, is useable, cheap and looks nice. (35$ if i remember it right). You might be able to afford that one

Love your channel. I would like to know your opinion about claw weapons... Not the ones you hold, I know those are practical enough, but the ones the protrude from your finger, like that of Freddie Krueger's. How practical would it be?

@kekkatorutv1492 7 лет назад

한동규: The ones you are talking about exist, but practicality and "would I actually use this" and how well it goes up against something else are factors that prevent than being popular or used

@Dreamchime 7 лет назад

1. fingers are frail. 2. It would be impractical to hold/grab other things.

@FireClaw00 7 лет назад

한동규 Why are there so many people with your profile pic lmao

@KA1N3R 7 лет назад

You'd break your fingers after hitting anything that's not pure flesh. Shit, maybe even just from hitting flesh.

@fi-aaa-na 7 лет назад

Skall, I can confirm what you said about Kali (having done a couple years of training in it). It's a vicious style of close-quarters jungle combat, hence the typical short blade lengths and very short range. Armor wasn't common, either, so armor penetration isn't really necessary. A lot of the sword technique's influences come from stick fighting. (You probably already know most of that but I felt the need to pop in on that.) I always love to watch your videos, thanks for posting!

@brotherandythesage 7 лет назад

I eagerly anticipated the great sword but when you pulled out that side sword (I think I'm in love!) a new favorite type of sword for me.

@noctisocculta4820 6 лет назад

@poseenm 7 лет назад

Really enjoyed this video, keep up ^^

@alejandroalonso8642 7 лет назад

Hey, just fyi: "espada" and "daga" are just spanish words for sword and dagger. If you say to a spaniard that you have an "espada" he will only understand that you got a sword, not the type of sword. Maybe in Philipines they would understand it as those paired weapons but for other spanish speaking people it sounds weird.

@AsterixKearn 7 лет назад

Huh, I was just watching the old ones yesterday wondering when you'd make the new one. Convenient.

@thearisen7301 7 лет назад

Hey Skall. you should do a video on what weapons would be best in a fantasy world to fight Dragons, Ogres, Chimeras, etc. However I do think people in such a world would develop new weapons to fight such creatures. Any thoughts or ideas on what form/s these new weapons would take?

@needude7218 7 лет назад

honestly, most likely a form of polearm that can stab and hack (halberd, english bill, possibly the hungarian axe, ect.)

@rng_lord1276 7 лет назад

Yes! Let's not forget Hydras, Krakens, Giant Spiders, Trolls, Griffons and any other fantasy creature you can think of.

@SKy_the_Thunder 7 лет назад

Heavy crossbow or any other kind of ranged weapon. Like hell I'll get close to a creature that can rip me apart with a single hit, armor or not...

@sephirothbahamut245 7 лет назад

For such a question, you should first define what you mean by "dragon", "ogre", "chimera".There are many many myths about very very different creatures which share the same name. An arabian dragon has very little to share with pre-christian norse mythology dragons. Actually theese (pre-christian norse mythology dragons) had much more to share with the chinese dragon than they do have with what you'd think about when i say "european dragon". Same problems with Ogres, Dwarfs (which are still being debated, they could even be dark elves if you read the Edda). And about chimeras, well in fantasy the word "chimera" got to identify any monstruous thing which resembles a mix of any animal, while the "original" greek myth chimera was quite well defined as a lion with a secondary goat head and a snake instead of its tail. (cfr age of mythology's chimera)

@jondeoliveira8248 7 лет назад

C Whitmer Pikes would be most used against large creatures, like they were used against horses, camels and elephants.

@physical_insanity 7 лет назад

Why don't you have a single pommel there? That's like, the ultimate weapon.

@KalaamNozalys 7 лет назад

I'm so envious of you.^^ I'm looking forward the day i'll start my own collection.

@tangsoodoarnis4life 7 лет назад

@ELETRIKDOG001 7 лет назад

is the throwing pommel armor piercing?

@theaussiebogan9680 7 лет назад

Well of course!

@jamesducharme1711 7 лет назад

it's a finisher that scales with almost any build and has tons of crit.

@ELETRIKDOG001 7 лет назад

james ducharme i heard that is getting nerfed with the next patch

@jayazelby306 6 лет назад

ELETRIKDOG001 depends on who throws it, I would think.

@pissuparope1816 6 лет назад

Armour piercing, no. But ignores 50% of A.C. on a crit.

@TheItalianoAssassino 7 лет назад

Completely unrelated: What was the name of some Anime accurately pretty depicting the thirty-years-war you mentioned in some video?

@sazogrim7313 7 лет назад

Maria the virgin witch, or something like that.

@ArmouredProductions 7 лет назад

Maria the Virgin Witch, and its 100yrs war BTW

@TheItalianoAssassino 7 лет назад

Thanks. Sorry, I confused the two.

@GrowlingRB24 7 лет назад

Would be cool to see the thirty-year-war depicted in anything though!

@Skallagrim 7 лет назад

Thanks, fixed it.

@BlackDot3 7 лет назад

20:18 It was too big to be called a sword. Massive, thick, heavy, and far too rough. Indeed, it was a heap of raw iron.

@EBlade-rc2ry 6 лет назад

I love the bronze xiphos. Its leaflike shape is beautiful and the way the bronze shines is just wow. Personal favorite is the zweihander.

@Euklides_Diophant 7 лет назад

I've really been enjoying your videos of oddball/older weapons and testing of weapons in general. Gotta wonder though since I've recently been looking for more testing information about Indian Urumis, got any plans to acquire one for testing or collection? Would be very interested to see a more in depth vid of one, most vids available are either short and/or old video of weapon demonstrations. Naturally I've understood that the weapon is hard to handle so good testing might be hard to do without self injury... Doesn't stop my fascination of it though ^^

@Skallagrim 7 лет назад

Nope.

@WhiteWolf-md7ro 7 лет назад

Skallagrim Would you recommend it from past experiences with it?

@Skallagrim 7 лет назад

Phantom For the price it's okay. Typical Hanwei problems though... not very good steel, overly flexible blade, very dull edge.

@WhiteWolf-md7ro 7 лет назад

Skallagrim Alright,Thanks for your time.

@siloseeairenicus5889 7 лет назад

Being a person with no extra money available to buy weapons, I can only make my own synthetic ones. Can't enjoy the cutting, but I can still do drillings with them anyway. Also having fun designing them, too. That's why I find Skall's collection video very enjoyable, it gives me idea of what kind of weapons I'm lacking right now.

@hardgay7537 7 лет назад

I don't consider it bragging, Skall. Rather, I like seeing your collection. It's nice seeing fine steel that's a bit beyond my price range. You're a sword collector/HEMA dude first, whereas I'm a gamer first. And plenty of people more hardcore than me have no problem posting PC specs in their forum signatures.

@godwynzarate6476 7 лет назад

Hey Skallagrim, i just watched your video on the impracticality of hoods. You should make one on capes!

@alexalexzhemail7166 7 лет назад

Yes, the "pole arm" at the start is supposed to be like that such that it can take the stress. But it does seem that the steel is too soft (or too thin) if it bends under normal use. (I mean, it is designed to be used on mounted combat)

@planetkhaos7473 6 лет назад

Cool reviews. I've been searching online for swords that I like most and you have 2 of them in your collection already, the Kriegsmesser and the Side-Sword (Munich Sword?). And for what its worth, I really like the Raptor Sword (I know it's not historical, but it sure looks good). If you Google the Raptor, do you think it is a fancy Kriegmesser, or would you classify it as something else?

@jose-ji6yj 7 лет назад

I hope you can make a video about the ginunting in the future as well as a collection of fantasy and modern swords. Anyway, great video

@Ultraelectromagnetic 7 лет назад

You have a Ginunting! Awesome! It's probably my favorite Filipino blade design. I bought one recently; it handles like a dream. The sword is a traditional weapon of the Ilonggos of Panay Island. I'm half-Ilonggo so I guess that makes it perfect for me haha. It's probably most famous for being the sword of the Philippine Marine Corps Force Recon Battalion, who are trained to use it with Pekiti Tirsia Kali. Force Recon's ginunting design has an s-guard to better protect the hand, and some producers/dealers sell ginunting with that design (I'm hoping to get an s-guard ginunting in the future).

@RevilloPhoenix 6 лет назад

I practiced Kombatan which is also a Filipino martial art and that is correct, the basic stances usually involve resting the swords on your shoulders ( Kombatan mainly revolves around dual wielding. ) or have a sword under the opposite arm after you follow thru. Basically what it does is that it allows for rapid circular motions of both blade for both non stop aggression and parries.

@nickl7488 7 лет назад

for major blade re-profiling, try using a file jig like the ones people use for knife making, there are plenty of tutorials on youtube. a homemade file jig can help precisely change the blade geometry, is cheap to make and doesn't take up a lot of space

Hey skallagrim! i love your content and im å huge fan of you and your work! I'm thinking of starting my own sword collection and so i would like to hear your opinion of the Kingston arms, 13 century arming sword, wich is based on angus trim' s design. It's made of 9260 high carbon spring Steel. This is on kult of Athena's website. Im thinking of buying this as my first real sword. What are your thought on it and do you have any experience with Kingston arms? Friendly regards from Norway! :)

Dude! Why aren't you in movies? I could so see you in a movie with swords and battles with a mid-evil vibe or a viking movie as well. I would watch the hell out of that movie! Your channel is awesome and you both are my favorite! I love learning about realistic sword fighting vs what people think is possible. Keep up the great work, you both are awesome :)
