That pioneer's sword is really well-designed for field work. It's heavy enough to use as an axe, or a hammer, but as a knife you can also carve with it, whether you're carving wood or the meat on a roast. Seems to me as thick as it is you can even use it like a pry bar. So it replaces all those, AND it's easier to carry in a sheath on your belt or hanging off your pack or something. Impressively utilitarian and compact space-saving design.

I really love the Faschinenmesser (pioneers knife). It's the perfect tool for the job - from a bushcraft point of view! The specific form of the blade reminds me of the asymetric edge geometry of a right-handed Behaubeil (carpenters axe) or a Schnitzbeil (sculptor hatchet). These were not used for chopping down trees or splitting wood. They were used to give shape from a round log to a beam with an square diameter. Pioneers were not only ordered to dig trenches or to build bridges. They were also the ones on the front of a siege to fortify their workspace against cavalry as a counter measure from the opponents. They had to go there (mostly in night time) and build up Spanische Reiter (cheval de frise). To secure smaller spaces (e.g. the space between two Spanische Reiter) you square up pole wood and ram it down. The geometry of the blade provides the pioneer also an opportunity to dig small post-holes for the poles. Right hand on the hilt, left hand on the backside of the blade with your fingertips in the groove. This should work incredible fast!

Yes, the shape of the blade has "tool" written all over it. The profile is very much like a machete, or a "leuku", a big (though usually no more than 30 cm long) knife used in Lapland, though the "leuku" rarely has fullers and the handle is very different. The hook shaped "pommel" is also very tool-like, often seen on things like billhooks.

The second "knife" reminds me a lot of the types of backup huge knives (especially the hand guard's shape and the bowie style of the blade) by some Southern troops during the American Civil War, you can find photos of zouaves like the Wheat Tigers or Louisiana regiments. Some of these weapons' guard have this curved leafe shapes and some even have a full guard protecting the hand like a sabre. The shape of the blade really reminds me of the kind of bowie knives (some of which got huge) produced in the South back then. Some blades was even fatter than this one while being half its length. There wasn't any regulation from what I know.

I have an Argentine M1909 artillery short sword which shares several characteristics with the second one here. It has a similar pommel although not as hooked, an S-shaped guard, and a blade of about the same length but narrower and thicker. It's an incredibly useful tool that cuts with considerable authority but isn't too tip-heavy to use as a weapon. There's certainly something to be said for a dual-purpose tool/weapon and it can be done without giving up too much of either. Every weapon involves decisions and often compromises and we can see that here.

Another suggestion for your obscure weapons playlist would be the Cuban Guanabacoa machete. Not really a machete since the blade is very heavy, and has a cross section kind of like a long single handed katana. They also have a very distinctive grip, with a hooked pommel and deeply scooped out spaces for the fingers, usually (but not always) without a guard. It is a very distinctive type of sword from the Americas, one of few that doesn't have any obvious European origins AFAIK.

I can't seem to find too many sources on late period celtic swords other than the highland baskets. Would like to know more about ring pommel swords large and small and how they differ from earlier arming swords and why they didn't seem to have complex hilts. Also the clam shell two handed swords are often mentioned but I'd like to hear any period accounts of thier use.

The size of that grip! Have you considered a video on the U. S. Army Signal Corps' Woodman's Pal as part of the pioneer's/engineer's cutting tools tradition?

Hi Matt, probably wont see this, but a suggestion for a forgotten weapon, one that i have just come across and would like to know more about, i understand that i might be in the minority and others may know more about this than me, but the swiss sabre, like the swept hilted ones in the Wallace collection, i hope this is a good suggestion, big fan of the channel and i always enjoy your videos!
