It think if they had been real weapons and the flail guy have had as much training with his weapon as the katana guy the war flail would had completely dominated.

Guan Yu review:

Just buy some Lawn Darts :B

Musketeer with Rapier will be faster and has a better reach. He needs to get the job done quickly. if the katana gets a lucky slice the odds change quickly and game over.

kalkan already means shiled why you said ottoman kalkan

#shorts Skall?

YOU KNOW WHAT'S... bee ess?

We all love the glory days of bugs bunny birthday blowout

I think if people start showing up to riots and protests with those weapons, we're probably gonna really big problems 🤣

Well explained sir skallagrim. Love your voice and the way you speak. You could rival that of sir david attenborough on bbc documentaries.

You just became black lives matter's favorite guy lol

this looks a lot like jedi outcast/academy fight with lightsabers but without the jjump and acrobaticsa....and of course without the lightsaber

Congratulations!!

I know I’m quite late the conversation. The wrap-and-weld method should work quite well to make a double bit axe by my understanding. I would not call myself a blacksmith. I enjoy studying it and have played with the craft some. The wrap-and-weld method relieves the smith from having to punch and drift the eye of the axe (if it has one) and he could simply weld the end of two plates of milder steel together with high quality bits in between and the eye is made, he would only need to shape it. I could easily see this being an impetus to make a double bit axe of various types as it would not add much more work; one extra weld (a fairly quick operation in my limited experience), and grinding one more edge. A skilled smith would leave as little grinding to be done as possible off the anvil anyway making this a simple, fast, and fairly cheap way to add versatility to a weapon and increase it’s sale value, disproportionally to the time investment to make it. Conversely, adding a spike or another complex shape to the poll is a differently and more complex task requiring more skill and planning. It would add a completely different use to the weapon, increasing its sale value. I have my doubts that it would increase sale value proportionally to the increase work investment, as compared to the simple double bit. Talking about more complex double bits these points start to fall apart and I don’t know what style of double bits are most common throughout history. Great vid Skall!

I find the 2002 version pretty cool.

There is many accounts! Probably my favorite is the battle of Cagayan ! But in the end the rapier is a defensive weapon primarily for civilians and dueling,not a war sword.

That's Marti's 😮flashback

The hamon on that sword-cane looks pretty.

For the love of God I can't find the video that u made the pole flail yourself...

Not bad tbh. Seems a bit cheap though so they could probably splurge on some rim protection and maybe 20% thicker plastic without breaking the anti-riot bank.

Instead of having that meterial behind the see through part be rectangular they should make it circular so it acts like a spacer to protect

With hammer : BRO REVIVED USSR

Value is subjective and situational. A man dieing of thirst would be willing to trade every weapon he owns for a cup of water, while another would give away all of their food for a single gun with some bullets when being attacked by a bear.

Good day! What sword are you using Mr. Skallagrim?

Would like to see, at what size does diminishing returns kick in with stuff like this. At what point is it only doing damage due to weight, and blade/point no longer matters.

Estimado Sr. ese enfrentamiento, ya ha ocurrido. Ex Samuráis (Ronin), en la Batalla de Cagayán. En 1582, unos 60 españoles contra 600-1000. Venció España. Gracias.

It already happened. Few dozen Western merchant sailers killed thousands of Japanese samurai. I thk it was Nossa Senhora -something around 1600s? Adjustments; it is Nossa Senhora de gracia incident in 1610, 40 Portrueges sailers fighting 3000 samurai and archers. Casualties were near annihilation for Portrueges and several hundreds in Japan samurais. And yes, they did also fought in close combat as they ran out of ammo. 170cm guy fighting 140~150 practically as they were all vegetarians. In the end, they blew themselves up . Japanese were awe struck and kinda near worships westerners since then due to their superior prowess in battle. Personal opinion: Even now they kinda want to be Europian. They always have a Europian or a superior Japanese who dont get acknowledged in west in their comics lol

Mike Shake did a plexiglass sword build that functions more or less.

I could just imagine an absolute gun nut having sexual intercourse while strapped with an appendix carry. "No babe, it's my constitutional right to stay strapped while I clap."

Both are claymores

You can get a fairly nice 9mm carbine rifle for that you can get a decent pistol revolver or semi-automatic and get a 9mm 38 that do a lot better as long as you got plenty of bullets

How to fck up the shield : beat the hell out of it How to fix the shield : beat the hell out of it but on the other side

You look like someone that shouldn’t be playing with swords, as in more likely to hurt yourself than someone else

To defeat a repire is the same way to defeat a spear: let them thrust air and step a side long curve around one of their sides to their bild spot and thrust or cut the nike or hand or knee. Run around and don't bind altogether. Also get a shild or a longer stick or range wepone. Don't thrust context with the repire. Run around their sides and make them mis and get in disarm or kill. Basically do not take the bite/challenge.

The way it stays close to the body when you swing it behind the head seems like it would be better than a straight sword at avoiding objects or people behind you in a fight.

That shield is 6mm not 22mm.

I mean the arm inside of it is probably broken but the shield works.

I wish i could see a war hammer or spiked mace against it 🤔

ive always kinda known and felt huge swords are useless but tbf though, in a fantasy game or something when i look cool as hell when im laying into my enemy with a massive sword

sadly the website is offline

I think you should combine tests with hiking. Every gram is felt.

Chakram can be made from 20 arrows head, kills more than 1 throwing piece of metal. So nop.

Maces...plate armors bane. Nuff' said.

You could say that this is single handedly the best single handed sword you've ever tested

It’s not that James doesn’t do good videos anymore. The problem is, that so many people simply outgrew him. Also, there is nostalgia going on, when it comes to older episodes. I for one notice that, but at the same time, I still see great episodes every now and then. Not all of them mind you, but they are there. And it’s not like back then everything was great. There were a lot of corny if not cringey episodes back the. As well. It’s just that with time, you start loving the memory of hating on that episodes, which gives them a kind of second wind. At least, I believe that’s the reality. There is one thing though I agree on: He‘s lacking some fire nowadays. But seriously, at the age he‘s in now, very few people still behave like 20 years ago.

Maybe some wacky swords were just commissioned by rich nobles who thought it would be cool to have a weird sword and they just happened to survive the test of time.

What was this really about, lol.
