RAPIER & SMALLSWORD Deep Dive with  

Are you guys in Canadia or the United Fiefdom?

It was great hanging out, I hope we get to do it again.

@@hadronoftheseus8829 In the King's country. 😋

Sweet! Cant wait to see it!

@@Skallagrim you nailed the weight of those swords, almost a human scale lol

That is how you know you have found a craftsman XD

I'm sure there are a few more than the only peole like that ;). This sentence only makes sense in the above context XD

@@jefo2405 "one of the only", implying that there's more than one but still very few

I literally went and weighed it as I was editing the video and I also LOL'd!

Bruh that name combined with that comment, ur either a bot or an npc, there is no way you're an actual being with a developed personality

@@viveillyvi :(

Buddy you didn’t have to do me like that

HELL YEAH!

@@viveillyvi slow your roll...!

Timestamp: 25:00

@@FeelingBlue... Haha epic!

Appropriately inappropriate. :)

One of the Skallest moments of all time

Nicely done indeed! Who was doing the editing?

25:04 ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Just Kevin from the history squad missing!

Surely, they made a video.

Scholagladiatoria: Civil War. 😁

Shad is missing 😂

@@Dennis-lp7xe Nah, nobody wants him. XD

​@@Dennis-lp7xemaybe Shad should've kept his politics to himself

​@@Dennis-lp7xenobody wants him. He's a professor at discrediting himself, and there's a good reason he's been slowly migrating away from "legitimate" historical information more and more. And not to mention, he's a terrible person IRL, not just in regards to his politics.

Alas, D'artagnan couldn't make it.

Basically my own thoughts word-for-word. Fun to watch and informative, a great combo!

They didn't sell their souls to politics for engagement, I appreciate that about these gentlemen

Who are you talking about? I live under a rock.

@@CreationGrid Do you remember Shadiversity and The Metatron? They used to collab with these guys occasionally or do responses, were a friendly sword history youtuber group. Over time both Shad and Metatron started posted lots of 'sjws rewriting history!!!!' type stuff on their main channels and making less than savoury remarks about various groups (Shad very publicly so, including in Streams and on his reviewer side channel) so the pair drifting from the core group over time. Then when Shadiversity did a big tour of the UK he met back up with Schola, but about the same time started posting outright anti-gay content (accused all queer people of being pedos in waiting essentially) and when Schola found out he publicly distanced himself. Cue massive meltdown, so many people unsubbed from Shad he accused the sjw's of cancelling him and called for donations in support to keep him financially afloat- Schola et al all further distanced themselves from the mess except for Metatron, who publicly donated a large amount of money with a big video about the loyalty of knights to their friends, repaying favours (Shad previously did a big and public donation to Metatron when his racey content put the channel in dire straights) and sticking up for 'traditional values' Since then Schola, Tod and Skal went from 'quiet distance from Shad and Metatron' to outright condemning Shad's increasing list of inflammatory content, and quiet disapproval of Metatron's support of those views. Long story short: Watched all these guys since I was a kid, 2 stopping talking to others and went a bit alt-right conspiracy crazy and its quite sad honestly

@@CreationGrid Sorry about the long reply, it takes a bit to explain

@@Rynewulf It was matt "cancel" Easton who chose to make other peoples politics his thing. But thanks for reminding.

I kind of want to look up the entomology of that to see how old the term is. I suspect i'd fail at the first reference though. :)

@@dogmaticpyrrhonist543 Sadly, you're probably correct. You could be searching through beetles and bugs all day, before some kind soul redirects you to the Etymology section.

Same thing with Finnish. Veriura=bloodgroove.

@@Murdo2112 lol, I blame autocorrect. Although I did go with etymology,, when it changed it I was to confused to correct it back, lol

@@dogmaticpyrrhonist543 Hehe, modern technology. All good fun.

skall is the true villain in the series

He's actually a 300 years old hair vampire

@@nahuelmat His vampire cosplay for one of the warhammer fantasy episodes was pretty goated, that's for sure

rofl

This remains one of the few comments Matt did NOT like! XD

Curious... 🤔

@@ChapterGrim i I think it was pretty much the standard at the time. Standardized equipment and uniforms weren't a thing until maybe the 1680s or so, except for a few select household or guard units. They provided your main weapon (musket and ammo, pike...) but everything else was up to you. The quartermasters may keep some stockpiles to cover needs but the soldiers were probably expected to pay for those items or have them discounted from their wages.

I REALLY need to learn to STFU! 😭

As is tradition here :)

@@scholagladiatoria No worries, the talk coming out of the subject of one's passion, is not narcisstic.

Over the years of watching him perform with various swords and other arms, mostly swords, I get used to it. :D To be honest, Matt is to cold steel weapons what Ian McCollum and Johnatan Fergusson are to firearms, what Drachinifel is to warships. Tod has no equivalent as far as I know. :) Skall is entry drug before your interest and hobby goes completely overboard to scholarship, research and training. +][+
