Funnily I did a presentation for English class about the evolution of medieval arms and armour and what we found (it was a group project) is that most peasants and men at arms would use tools, axes maces, warhammers or spears because they were just way cheaper to buy and much more easily repaired or replaced than a sword and it's funny how that balance between swords and medieval blunt weaponry still holds up today where clubs and spears are still significantly less expensive.
@pr0faker5 жыл бұрын
well not that hard to figure out if you look what you need to make to get a sword and what you need to make a simple mace or short spearhead. You just need a short pretty thick piece of metal vs forging out and tempering a long slender blade that has potential to fail at any point of the forging, hardening, tempering and grinding. A sword above the warfare usage was a status symbol that rich people wore to show off in times of (relative) peace.

I'm neither a historian, nor a Japanese weapon connoisseur, but it seems that the "Ninja Sword" is only half Hollywood invention. Now, as I said, I'm not an expert, so take everything here with a grain of salt, but I had heard somewhere that regular Japanese infantry, when they used swords, they didn't carry katanas, but straight swords. I took a brief trip on wikipedia, and it seems this is correct. During the 10th century and before, it seems japanese swords were not curved. There's two: the tsurgi, which is a straight double-edged sword similar to Chinese, or even European blades, and then there's the chokuto. It seems this is the one that inspired the "ninja sword". If you look at just the blade, you'd probably be forgiven for thinking they're the same one. Straight, single edge, very similar shape. The handle does differ, though. The original one does not look like it had the square guard and the handle was much more ornate, though I wouldn't be surprised if there were different finishes. Interestingly enough, those straight swords were produced before differential hardening was invented, so I guess you could even say that that part is sort of "accurate"

I love Condor blades - I wanted a nice big multipurpose knife for camping/survival and I narrowed it down to a Becker BK9 or a Condor Moon Stalker. I ended up choosing the Moonstalker thanks to the price and reviews, and it is an AMAZING knife; it came with a well sharpened blade, the blade is high carbon and about 1/4" thick, the handle is knurled and feels great in the hand - my one real complaint is regarding the sheath: it is nylon and has both a belt loop and MOLLE loops, and one of the MOLLE loops pulled loose the first time I wore it out on a deep woods hike. I was planning on crafting a Kydex sheath for it at some point anyways (haven't gotten around to it yet) so it wasn't a huge deal, and I've just worn it on my belt since, but the blade itself is magnificent, and despite using it a few times for light batoning, skinning some sticks for my kids to use as hiking staffs, and a few other menial tasks, it's still able to shave my arm hair without me having to put a stone or stropp to it yet.

Best bang for buck weapons I've found are at Palmetto State Armory. Be patient and watch for sales and you can build a perfectly functional AR15 for $500 or less. Second best was the SIG P6 I bought. Still wonder sometimes how the German cops who were issued this pistol would react to finding out I'm not a government agent but carry the thing in public. Back in the day, a top-quality West German SIG-Sauer pistol that's great for concealed carry was selling for under $400. Honorable mention: Mora knives. They come sharp, but spend a few minutes on them and they get terrifyingly sharp. $12 on Amazon. Not really designed as a weapon, but damn great deal.

Can you make a video on restoring dull, rusty blades? My brother in law asked me to restore his arming sword and was scared his first attempt at restoring an edge may have damaged it. I figure it is similar to restoring knives, but I wouldn't mind watching an amsr of you demonstrating how to repair such tools.

I hate to be that guy, but 2.54cm is an inch, not 2cm. Love the video! It really helps to separate the wheat from the chaff in regards to cheap weapons vs inexpensive weapons.

Skallagrim is probably the biggest threat to these trees, they probably speak horror stories of the sword man!

Hey around the 7 min mark you said historical accuracy wasn't something you'd get with affordable weapons and that got me thinking. What are some of your favorite historically accurate weapons regardless of price? You could probably make a whole different video about that.

I have the Cobra Laconian sword and I really like it. The wasp waisted blade looks great. I am replacing the rubber scales with spectraply and made a better sheath out of an old firehose.

Left the same comment on your last vid, but there’s a 200 dollar Han dynasty sword on KoA you need to review Skall. Would have been perfect for this vid.
