New Product Reveal: The Venetian Captain's Sword

[@allanburt5250]

Beautiful, and from a very interesting and fascinating period in history, which saw many developments in weapons. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@armsarmorinc.4153]

you are welcome!

[@SomeOldGuyYellingattheSky]

Meanwhile I'm looking at the beautiful blade and thinking hey that would be really sweet for a shiavona... well at least it's Venice! Per Il Doge! thx Nathan

[@MasoTrumoi]

A schiavona is just an arming sword with a basket

[@itskarl7575]

The reproduction can be said to be a single fullered blade, but the original has three. The flanking fullers have the same width and depth as the centre one. In the reproduction, their width and depth are distinctly different from the centre one.

[@armsarmorinc.4153]

Hello. The reproduction actually does have the two short fullers as well, the steel being shinier just makes it harder to see. They're actually a little wider than the central fuller, and the same depth.

[@hellomate639]

I really like this sword. It's a strong contender for me.

[@armsarmorinc.4153]

thanks! we love it too.

Lovely.

I’ve got a couple of A&A swords. Absolute beauties! Nice to see them on KZbin….kudos!

[@armsarmorinc.4153]

thanks man! Always nice to talk to a satisfied customer ;-)

[@sinisterswordsman25]

Gorgeous! 🤘💀 really cool sword!

[@armsarmorinc.4153]

thank you.

I think this sword would be good for Joachim Meyer's Rappier techniques. The sword in his books looks something like that with the addition of a knuckle bow.

[@armsarmorinc.4153]

Yes, it would work OK for Meyer for sure, though it predates that style by a century - but could have been great-grandpa's sword! This is the sword we make that I really associate with Meyer: www.arms-n-armor.com/collections/rapier/products/serenissima-rapier

[@sasscn3011]

excellent work! what`s the width of the root and tip of the sword? It looks almost unchanged.

[@mallardtheduck406]

That is a great and cool looking sword...if I had the extra cash, I would love one with a brown leather grip, or a wire wrapped grip.

[@armsarmorinc.4153]

That would look great. We considered wire wrap as it is the right time and place for the style.

[@johng859]

I can't find it on your website 😢

[@armsarmorinc.4153]

sorry, I guess it doesn't post until midnight ;-)

[@armsarmorinc.4153]

I didn't mean this video to go live until 12 tonight. Ooops.

[@fettmaneiii4439]

a little light on the bevel widths

[@armsarmorinc.4153]

Yes, they turned out a little bit narrow on that prototype piece. We do it all by hand so they do vary a little bit.

[@raphlvlogs271]

why are the ends of the cross guard rounded and widened just like the pommel?

[@armsarmorinc.4153]

It's all just part of the aesthetic.

[@althesmith]

Mixing your measurements is Canadian! Stop appropriating my culture!

[@althesmith]

Gotta drive 30 km to pick up some half-inch bar and some 2 by 4 to reinforce my cutting stand. Wife wants me to pick up a couple litres of milk and maybe a pound of butter.

[@armsarmorinc.4153]

@@althesmith I love it!

[@SomeOldGuyYellingattheSky]
