I've this fascination with curved swords. Just something so elegant about the way people wield them. Falchions and scimitars in particular have always been my favorites, with swords like cutlasses being a close second. This video really temps me to save up for one of these in the future.

[@anthonyhayes1267]

Falchions are underrated

[@mondaysinsanity8193]

Anthony Hayes theyre very fun to use, though i admit i know little on how to actually use a falchion so i mainly use em like an axe or machete still works beautifully

@Zacha Riz why not cynthia or lucina

[@aydenabastilla7095]

@Zacha Riz oh well, in a quest take chrom to a unique enemy, a female Pegasus rider named cynthia and she will note of the mark of the exalt and become a playable ally

Why not try collaborating with Alex Steele to make your own designed sword? :D

[@A.lasdair]

Alec Steele lives in the UK and Skal lives in Canada. So unlikely.

[@HAL-cp4mt]

The like : dislike ratio on your videos are insane. Some good content you got there.

[@richard6133]

Try some blue Loctite on the pommel nut if you want it to stay put until deliberately removed. It works on firearms screws, so I would think that it should work on a sword. Don't use the red Loctite, you'll need a blowtorch to ever get it back apart again.

[@ironcladfury565]

You can tell he's done this for years through the quality of the review, very concise and informative great video!

[@KnightsWithoutATable]

A few thoughts on "End him rightly" I had recently: I have to wonder if the the page that "End him rightly" came from was talking about what to do if the pommel of your sword comes off in combat and not detaching it yourself. I know that your pommel should never come off on a good sword, but not every sword was necessarily a good one with proper construction, plus sh!t happens in combat. Tossing the pommel at an opponent unexpectedly could throw them off balance or out of guard as they dodge it and allow you to take a good cut at them, thus "Ending them rightly." before your sword falls apart anymore and leaves you unarmed.

[@Helxas]

I'd still chalk it up to a joke. The manual was one of spear combat that had a section on swordplay. But, more importantly, it specifically describes the action of taking the pommel off of the sword by unscrewing it, not when the thing comes off by itself. And, besides, it'd be common sense to throw the pommel if it did happen to come off, which I can attest is very improbable in combat. You can still use the sword even if the pommel, handle, and guard come off, too: The blade piece has a sort of metal "tail", called a tang, upon which all the other components are fitted onto.

[@LarryGarfieldCrell]

Skall had a follow-up last year in which he notes that it's all a mistranslation. The original German is apparently "quickly", not "rightly". As in, distract him by throwing the pommel at him, slice his head off while he's wondering WTF you just did, and be done with it. Video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHS1dmONoJl5aNE

[@mattaffenit9898]

You should be especially careful with your tip, if you care about deep penetration :)

Its a beautiful sword and looks really fun to cut with. Would buy it in a heartbeat if I wasn't stupidly poor at the moment. Hopefully it will go to a good home. Thanks for sharing, cheers!

See even with the bell on I don't get notified, so I just come here every day to check haha

[@josephthibodeau9725]

I managed to pick up a two handed french falchion by Angus. He makes some very nice swords.

[@weswolever7477]

There’s something very relaxing about watching those slow motion cuts. You should do a compilation video of them.

That was some fancy and efficient cutting from the other fella towards the end of the clip. That flip to the backside cutting edge was flawless and super quick. That could be quite effective and catch someone well off guard.

[@kitaryakysubae3156]

I love that sword! I mean if I could change anything about it, it'd be a brass, copper bronze twined wire wrap about a 1/4 up from the pommel, blue leather grip, brassed fittings and custom ornamental engraving on the hilt, and a matching blue leather with brushed steel and brass accents.

[@NickySayahSina]

If you are in the Pacific Northwest, Angus Trim sells falchions at HEMA events, such as Swordsquatch in Seattle. He also has a presence on Facebook and posts pictures of swords that he is currently working on and selling. I don't know if he sold all of his blades at Swordsquatch, but there is a good chance that one is available.

[@TheCrunchyCrouton]

[@BlaquePauldron]

Question for the Ladies Nut construction or Peen construction?

[@IPostSwords]

The original thickness of the Thorpe isn't actually 2.5mm. It's closer to 4.5- 5mm near the guard. The mistake in the museum description has carried on an not been corrected on the museum website, and has been widely copied and repeated.

[@rileyernst9086]

Holy crap, someone actually made a falchion how falchions are meant to be? They actually looked closely at pictures of a surviving example and said "Damn that thing is actually really thin, I'd not want to clobber someone with that. But to cut them to bits? Yes." Its... Its beautiful.

[@hermitcard4494]

I have one Falchion, very good sword. Its the enchanted one so Im using it with my full mage(Int 50, Att 50, Stre 12, Dex 13) and it deals nice damage. People: Elemental Infusions works best if you're doing pure spell caster. If you increase Str and Dex, obviously the will work better at melee damage, thats its intention, spellcaster's intention is no being pure melee.

Whenever I search the term "Falchion", I almost NEVER see images of this kind of Clip-Point Falchion. I almost always get images of a Falchion whose blade becomes very wide and obese at the tip, almost like someone tried to beat an axe-head into the tip of the sword when they were forging it.

Have you ever used loctite before? I hadn't heard about it until a few months ago when I was having trouble with screws on a couple of my less expensive firearms backing out after firing/manipulating the action and I think I'm just about ready to swear by it :) Give it a try if you get the chance and it may fix your pommel issue! (cheap and in various sizes on amazon) I would suggest getting the "Blue" kind as it is not as permanent and does not require heat to undo the bonding of the threads like the "Red" type does. Cheers!

I wonder how a blade like this mated to a complex swept hilt would handle. It should be like a sidesword but even better at chopping. I can't see the downside and if there truly are no downsides then surely such a sword must have been made at some point, but I've never seen anything of the sort.
