Well, a messer would hit bone, mail, wooden shields, helmets, etc. even when it was not intended for armor bashing, but such things happen in the heat of combat. Thus, being able to withstand a few hits against a log is a sign of quality. However, this doesn´t really transfer to lighter blades like a rapier, or Xian (the modern version, not the military version).

"In the next test we are going to throw the blade under tank tracks and see how it holds up"

[@xyxxanx9810]

That wouldn´t be a hard test actually, modern tanks spread their weight out very well, even heavy tanks like the abrams have a ground pressure of around 16psi, that is about the same as an adult human, lighter tanks and apcs have ground pressure as low as 6psi, so the would take about the same damage as if you were stepping on it. During my time in the military, it was a sort of test of courage to let a tank roll over your arm (although not an MBT but a Marder AFV with very low ground pressure), felt about as bad as someone quite heavy sitting on your arm.

[@roflcopterkklol]

@@xyxxanx9810 So you would let one run your leg over because it is only 16psi?

[@xyxxanx9810]

No, that would be a bit much, about 8 psi and only the arm, even if the groundpressure is low, if you´d put something as thick as a leg or an entire body under a tanks tracks, the suspension couldn´t give enough and you´d experience a lot more pressure, as long as it´s something relatively thin, it wouldn´t get damaged by a tank rolling over it.

Great episode! Except for one part. The Knife part of the Strength test was faulty. When they brought the knives into the wood, the first one was brought into an area were the wood had been cut just above, causing the fibers to weaken considerably. While the second knife was brought into an area where the fibers were fine, making a massive difference in the about of pressure put on the knife. So faulty test caused by the judge.

In english the actual name of the sword is the grosse messer (big knife) in german it's the groß messer. It's named due it's knife shaped blade. It's a very similar name to the zweihänder. The groß messer, or grosse messer is particularly from central-east francia, now Germany, Austria, and the like, and the name originates from high german, from which it has since not changed in the german language

"Messer" means knife in german, and "bei knife" (should be Beimesser) means side knife or accompanying knife. The big one is not a Messer, its a großes Messer or Großmesser meaning "great knife". The small one: A Beimesser is a knife that shares a double scabbard with the bigger weapon its accompanying. If not its just a Messer even if used to accompany a bigger weapon.

[@OberWanKenobii]

Right wording, wrong explanation. It is in fact a messer, but messers are divided into two types: Lange Messer (AKA Großes Messer and what is shown in the video) and Kriegsmessers

[@МихаилУжов-е2й]

I've heard the history of these weapons. Allegedly, during the religious wars in Germany, they demanded swords. But the only forge under the guild's rules had the right to bed only knives. That is, one-way sharpening blades. IVot they started bed knives three to four feet long.
