Hmm , no i didnt . Well the Flammberge was also used way before like in 12th century but it was only more commonly used much later so probably okish ? What s your critic?
Guns were actually not as effective against Polynesians or native Americans (north and south) as you might think. In all cases, disease actually did most of the work. Their leather and woven armor were better against guns than the Europeans metal.
@@Complex_assaultthe Europeans had developed and regularly used advanced padded textile armours like gambeson centuries before. They even had the advantage of massively improved weaves from looms and weaving industries. A shot from a musket is not being stopped by a few layers of fabric and even if it was it would still kill via impact. The only thing it would stop is a failed load firing massively under power. There's a reason the Europeans ditched most all armour during the mass rise of firearms on the battlefield. Only groups like cavalry units and Cuirassiers continued to use armour that consisted off massive metal breastplates designed purely to divert and stop firearms. It's a sad reality of Imperialism but the Europeans had an immense technological advantage over Polynesian groups which is why most all territory was quickly taken, colonised and absorbed into various empires. Nearly the entire Polynesian region of Oceania was taken by the British with barely a shot fired in comparison to their Indian and African campaigns. Thankfully Polynesian culture and is strong and resilient and their cooperation and trade with Europe allowed their vibrant cultures to survive the Imperial era and many are fiercely independent once again
@nxxynx5039 native Americans and Polynesians didn't use fabric. It was layered leather called ichcahuipilli and woven armor from coconuts. There are even records of conquistadors switching out their armor for the Aztecs and Mayans. Armor was ditched because it's expensive, not because it's ineffective. And and back in "ye olden days," muskets were basically loud trash. The impact force after their momentum was broken by armor was not enough to kill, though small wounds may have led to infection.
Okay, from the top. The nodachi was not an “oversized katana”, it was a curved, single edged greatsword. Usage was very different. And that 4 meter sword wasn’t a battlefield weapon, it was a flex by a smith. The Urumi is a martial arts weapon, I don’t know much about it so I won’t speak on it. But it was worn as a belt sometimes so that’s cool. The khopesh isn’t really an axe like sword so much as a sword like axe, and early designs were hafted like axes too. It’s also pronounced ke pesh. That flamberge was not a flamberge, it was a kris, an Indian weapon. The serrations did not deal any extra damage on the withdrawal, as a continuous edge cuts better. However, the waves allow for a wider wound without adding all the extra material of a wider blade, and also send vibrations down an opponent’s weapon on a parry, which really messes with the hand. Finally, the shark-toothed weapon was more akin to a club than a sword. And unfortunately, European colonizers usually had armor that would stop simple serrated weapons. And guns…
@@Cisco88Cnot necessarily chopping as much as moving. Greatsword infantry in the 17th century were used to disrupt pike formations so their allies could then attack with greater effectiveness. It’s very hard to cut through a wooden pike whilst it’s moving and trying to attack you. Flamberge greatsword design was used mostly for show, as mercenary troops liked to show off to make it known that they got paid a lot of times for their service and as such were good soldiers. The word flamberge itself is a bastardisation. Being derived from the words ‘flane’ and ‘bergen’ in German or ‘flanking’ and ‘protecting’ which would have been the job of greatsword troops, to flank and protect their pike wielding allies. As smithing a sword with that type of pattern is expensive, most greatsword infantry would have had straight swords. These were weapons of choice for Landsknechte, much sought after mercenary troops from central Europe, mostly modern day Germany and Switzerland. They were skilled, and expensive, which they liked to show off with flamboyant weaponry and armour/clothing.
@@Cisco88CFlamberge doesn't necessarily refer to zweihander-style swords. There were flamberge rapiers and the like, too. But a greatsword is weighted too far back to be effective for cutting a strong, thick haft. and in general, given the way a pike moves when struck, you really wouldn't have a chance. As for displacing spears, that was the job of greatswords in general, at least in battlefield formations. However, the greatsword was generally used by bodyguards against multiple unarmored opponents. Which makes sense when you consider the time period they were popularized in, and the prevalence of armor being worn by basic infantrymen. Can't cut armor.
The flammberge ‘style’ can be used to describe a kris, since flammberge is not a specific sword type, but a design trend. There were flammberge greatswords, rapiers, arming swords, and daggers.
@@Cornholio461flammberge doesn’t even refer to the style of the blade. Its not a ‘flame blade’, it was used to describe the type of troops that used them. Landsknechte mercenaries, who wielded greatswords used for disrupting pike formations. Flamberge was not used in that timeperiod to describe the sword, but was a bastardisation of ‘flane’ and ‘bergen’ German words for flanking and protecting, which was the job of the mercenaries that carried these weapons. They flanked allied pike formations, protecting them from other pike formations. They did this by using the long blades to move the pikes of enemies, thus compromising their uniformity and as such their effectiveness. These blades were expensive to make, and as such were a show of wealth. A successful mercenary would display his wealth through his custom weapon, thus showing he has been well paid, and thus an effective soldier for a long time. The majority of Landsknechte would have straight greatswords. The waving blade had no real combat benefits. Edit: I see you are referring more to the style, which in that time period was described as ‘flambard’ from French ‘flame’ or ‘to flame’. This was indeed also used for daggers and rapiers, but for the same reason the other weapons were, style and to show off wealth. Over time the terms flambard and flamberge were often confused and used interchangeably. Just to add a little to your comment.
We called it Keris (kris) in indonesia, it use as secondary weapon in war, ceremony tool and symbols social status and no flamberge style is not enough to describe "keris"
The urumi is the last weapon to be mastered in Kalari paitu(Indian martial arts). In the right hands kts a deadly weapon but is also dangerous for the user as well unless well trained. Its often used along side shield during demonstrations.
If someone took the urumi but shorten it to the same length as a sword. It can be a flexible sword. It was almost the same design I seen from bladecity a belt and a blade combo but I haven't seen anyone make one like that. Except I seen the same sword design in a few Chinese movies. But I don't know if anyone has made that type of sword.
Mentioned shark tooth swords, but not the Aztec Macuahuitl. They were boards of wood with dozens of obsidian razor blades stuck into each side. Much sharper than even a surgical scalpel
I love the implication of sharktooth swords having a damage bonus against Europeans, like Sharktooth-Blade Sword (Micronesian origin) Damage: 35 (+10 vs. European colonists) Weight: 12lbs Value: 350 gold
#2 the small sword shown first is called the “Kris” there are many variants but the sword shape is called a “Kris” the “Flamberge” is a greatsword with similar blade shape but looks more like a Zweihander
Nope, the Criss is a indian dagger type that starts with a wide blade at the hilt, hurcends up dlimnsnd pointi at the tip...it tapers evenly all the way, it also have very destinctive quillons also it doesn't have a fuller. However the blade shown here had a blade where the waves or flame-shape (flamberget) were paralell to each others, it also had European quillons and a fuller. Flambergettes are often great-swords (zweihander), but can also be other types of blades, like rapiers (there's one in the Norwegian defence museum at Akershus Fortress) So, no, you're wrong in your assumptions.
Flamberge refers to a wavy blade like that. There are flamberge greatswords, yes, and they're the most known, but there are flamberges that are other kinds of sword too.
one complaint on the flamberge, the fist weapon shown was a kris, a shortsword/big dagger weapon from java, flamberge is more a european sylization technique that was used for full sized swords, whereas kris are more spiritually significant.
For the Kopesh: keep in mind that those were bronze blades from the bronze age. It comes with disadvantages to steel and the kopesh was quite an optimised design for the material its made out of
Unfortunately for you, Europeans had guns, and also the had armour which would shatter the blade, and even a Gambison would stop most attacks from the last blade
Add the Ngombe Ngulu to that list and you have my respect cause not only is it a weirdly shaped weapon it is also terrifyingly efficient at what it's designed for . Both being used as a tool and a weapon as well as an ornament it's unique to say the least .
@BrendonShipp well the curved part of the blade on the long one was more designed for hacking and slashing instead of attacks that required more finesse so it would be heavier that the average curved sword. Personally I'll stick with a hanwei scimitar or hook swords
The flamberg was truly wicked. It was forged with lethal poison, imbedded within the blade itself. So even if you lost, a single kerf, would do in the winner.
That is not true, a flamberge was just a fancy and expensive bladeshape, the only difference between a normal swordblade and a flamberge is the skill needed to forge it.
fun fact: the katana is evolved from a Tang-dynasty sword. The longer and lighter design was speculated to be a design for ancient japanese tp fight Chinese and Koreans who are a lot bigger sized
The concept behind the Norimitsu Odachi is that your opponent would die of boredom and surrender a couple of hours before your katana is fully unsheathed.
Flamberg is not type of sword, it is a type of blade. That’s why you can see flamberg blades in rapiers, zweihanders, and any other swords from that period
Fun fact, the Khopesh was very expensive and time consuming to make, so most soldiers were trained in a martial arts called Tahtib, which is fighting wuth sticks, the martial arts revolves entirely around delivering deadly strikes to the opponents head, while the guards, blocks, parries and attacks are all constructed in a way that automatically protects your head and reduces your margin of error while striking. Watch modern Tahtib tournaments, they get intense as everything is accounted for
Flamberge swords don’t really do more damage to a wound that normal swords, as the waviness doesn’t really make a big difference at all. Additionally, “Flamberge” is not really a specific sword type. It is a style of blade that, as mentioned, is useful in duelling.
Gotta say, love ai videos like this, cause while the info is cool, literally no one is trying. AI voices, and editors that care so little, that the final gif for the Flamberge is another Kopesh
I have seen swords known as wrapping swords, whip swords, etc. used in combat with or without a shield. Martial artists use it with high energy by jumping into the air and making fast movements. It sounds like electricity when fighting with it. A strange and special weapon that can seriously injure the enemy and requires deep training to master.

People saying things like, "Yeah, but Europeans had guns..." True. They were still unable to defeat New Zealand. That's why NZ still has a king, and Maori is still taught in all schools. The Europeans still fear the Maori to this day, and so they should.
Ive heard the ridges in a flamberge blade also serve to vibrate the enemies sword like crazy if you pull back from a bind. This could cause mild disorientation or even a full disarm.
The flamberg designed through what the Swiss and Germans used was for actually breaking the spear heads of the vanguard in the front of the battle. They were called "doppelsodner" double paid soldier, or aka mercenaries. This was basically the navy seals of the time with balls so big they made cows jealous.

The flamberge was inspired from the indonesian kris used in about the 11th centruy
Narrator: This is a Odachi
Me: *Sephiroth Theme starts playing in head *
Khopesh came from farming equipment
"Highly effective against Europeans" *encounters metal armour and promply loses war*
At first I thought we were going to discuss Monster Hunter weaponry.
until he got to flamberge it was actually good info, i was impressed.
That flamberge must be a nightmare to sharpen
The first shot of a "flamberge" was actually a Southeast Asian Kris/Keris. 😂
Shark tooth sword looks like it's been brought from Monster Hunter.
Zulfiqar laughing in side 😂
I love how no one knows one really weird sword witch is probably my favorite sword that exists
Ive heard the ridges in a flamberge blade also serve to vibrate the enemies sword like crazy if you pull back from a bind. This could cause mild disorientation or even a full disarm.
Yooo those wooden sword with shark teeth looks mint. Shout out to my poly people
The idea behind odachi were to be used on horseback, allowing a soldier to attack enemies even with the disadvantage of still being on the saddle
that last part was a delicious serving of sarcasm
The flamberg designed through what the Swiss and Germans used was for actually breaking the spear heads of the vanguard in the front of the battle. They were called "doppelsodner" double paid soldier, or aka mercenaries. This was basically the navy seals of the time with balls so big they made cows jealous.
There was a sephiroth back in the day wielding that odachi.
That shark-tooth sword reminds me of the macuahuitl from Meso-America.
Urumi + plate armor would be a lot of fun lol
And here I thought Rurouni Kenshin made up the whole whip sword thing.
3.77 meters is 12.3 feet for the fellow Americans
My favorite shark teeth sword
And now, the best sword of all time: the european one-and-a-half hand longsword.
Highly effective against all kinds of natives and non-natives.
Ahh yes. So effective against the Europeans, they got completely demolished.
I guess it's a reference to the brits for having a jagged tooth but trying to not be obvious abt it
Last line like an RTS unit descriptor
The Shark Tooth lookslike weapon from Monster Hunter 🤯
Damn, now i want a shark-tooth flamberge...
As an European I felt threatened by the last one
What's sad is that I've heard of all of them, and they're not that weird to me.
The Europeans then got back in their helicopters as the natives were seen as unfriendly.
Scotland: *laughs in William Wallis*
Shan Hu in Mulan had a Flamberge! Thats so cool!❤
The last one is just an organic version of the machuiutl
Fun fact: the wavy design of the flamberge is very effective to prevent an enemy's blade to slide down it
