- It's time to face it... I've been deluding myself for far too long with all this talk about how everything depends on situation, purpose, etc... Enough of that, I've finally come to my senses.
You want to know which is the superior sword in all of history? Well, here it is.

"How do you fight armour? You do not. You order your servants to shoot it with guns." - Skal, 2024
Definetly rational advice
Best anti armor advice.
Absolute banger of an advice
I mean, how else would you do it??
Use a gun, if that doesn't work, use more guns
The undeniable best sword in history is the little plastic one that comes with your drink.
Truth.
I'll drink to that
There is something to be said for it.
It's always sharp...
I only got umbrellas, the swords were in the sandwiches.
_Perhaps _*_Your Drink Sword_*_ is hidden in the umbrella handle_
imma check that out. ;^}>

3:23 "You fight because you need to, I fight because I insulted a man's wife. We are not the same"
The thumbnail murdered me
He mogged us.
Cringe
😧Losing your right arm below the elbow can do that do you! 😉
@@mhdfrb9971jump
Just like the small sword.
"Beasts of the land, be it in four or two legs"
Perfect script
I didn't actually script anything, I was winging it and editing down to the best bits. :)
Damn long pigs have been ruining society for too long!
@@Skallagrim This is even more impressive.
@@Skallagrim Bro this is fire. It's like 18th century rap battle shit. You killed it man, probably the best comedy you've ever done on this channel.
A very good April Fools video. Well done sir. "How do you defeat armor with a small sword? You do not; you order your servants to shoot it with guns."
I know you meant servants, but savants is hilarious. I'm imagining a bunch of renaissance nerds who've memorised pi to 1000 digits or can recite all of Cicero word-perfect, being slowly herded into formation by an exasperated sergeant major
@@QuantumHistorian sorry I am dyslexic and rely on auto correct so if I accidentally my way to real words that look like the word I mean I have no real way of knowing. I had to read your comment like 5 times to realize you didn't type the same word twice.
Thanks.
@@ShiningDarknes No need to apologise, no harm done. Far from it!
I say, chaps. This has gotten so fawnseh, I'm going to need a second monocle
Your spectacles are spectacular, good sir.
Two Monocles? A Bifocle?, unheard of!you have gone completely mad!
I concur. A bi-monocle perhaps, nay, dare I say a BIONICLE?
@@hraefn1821Indubitably!
Please make this a series about why every weapon is the best weapon ever for its purpose in the historical context. This was awesome.
I hope he reads this and goes along with it. Great video series idea
But why? The smallsword IS the best :)
But that would be RAciSt and OFFenSiVe.
@@WritingFighter We can ignore the one person who says that in that case.
@@WritingFighter You're mocking someone who isn't real
I forgot it was April Fool's Day. Aside from that though, small swords are easily my favorite examples of lethal jewelry.
I love my smallsword
@@Lord_Humungus Too bad your wife doesn't.
A small sword is what I'd wear if swords were still worn today.

@@Bubben246 😪
@@Bubben246That harlot would trade dagger for lance and knight for horse. Speaking of, how is your dear Mother?
And here I was expecting Skall to do something silly for April fools day, but instead he drops this truth bomb...
I understand this was supposed to be funny but you sir have convinced me . That was the best argument I’ve ever heard! Why didn’t I think of having my servants just shoot the armored beast?!
Hahaha... "A gentleman seeks out a weapon that accentuantes his strengths rather than compensate for his inadequacies". Dude, you were inspired! 😂❤
April hath reached the realm of Canada
I like how the intro almost implies that it's going to be the katana, but Skall just immediately goes: "Small Swords! A weapon for a more civilized age"(This is actually also a star wars reference, as is the thumbnail)
The "you order your musketmen to shoot him down" got a chortle from me.
...He's out of line, but he's right...
Of cource he's out of the line.
The line is where his servants stand, waiting for his order to fire.
"We are not the same." Touche, swordmaster.
This is making insanely good sense to me.
Honestly a modern forged small sword with something like a basket hilt on it (for knife /machete defense) could be a pretty good self/home defense weapon with some practice… probably pricey to have made tho
"Baron von Skall" better make a return in future videos, I love this Pompous analysis style, feels so fresh and funny but does also teach.
"Such *banal* sayings-"
"What a *crude* analogy steeped in uncouth double entendre..!"
"Besmirched by the *vulgarity* of the common folk.."
"Only *brutish OAFS* who rely on clumsy, *broad* sweeping strokes-"
"What sort of.. *deranged* savage-"
"the same *common RABBLE* would espouse such.. vulgar notions-"
"We do not seek to emulate the *beasts* of the land.."
Just... ugh, so beautiful.
*banal
@@chaotixthefox Thank youuuu 🤎
"Put those foolish ambitions to rest"
CASTLEVANIA OST WHAT THE FUCK.
My brain goes back 20 years of nostalgia, I never signed up for that Skal.
Fits perfectly to the background of snobbing.
I agree that's undeniably the best sword ever to exist, it's beautiful.
*checks date*
Oh. Okay. Thank god.
That was comedic gold, the script was on point 🤣
And the best part is that there is no script.
Sir your eloquence leaves my uncouth mouth in shambles.... bravo!
Happy April 1st Dear Sir .
Best sword in history?… skall in all dark clothes?… something’s fishy
A very gentlemanly sword indeed. However I must say the old swept hilts are absolutely lovely and make excellent decorations in the library.
Of course a proper library should be adorned with any manner of curious weapons from savage and far-off times and places, as well as the hides of beasts of all kinds.
This may be the single most refined and intellectually transcendent video --- NAY, no mere video, but a VESSEL by which true elegance floats serendipitously through the river of our thoughts -- of the millennium. Well done, sir!
"You order your servants to shoot it with guns"
such an obvious statement! :D
I'm so astonished with the range of your vocabulary being used on this video. Bravo.
Skall, you have indisputably mastered the art of satirical comedy, illuminating education, and riveting entertainment! 😂🎉😊 Encore, good fellow! Encore! 😄
The sword... is a tool.
The Symphony of the Night soundtrack, knows no age, no equal. It is the score to my very existence.
Once I heard the music from symphony of the night...I knew this was a man of refined taste. Finally, the approval i need to get the sword my collection of powdered wigs needed to truly be complete.
All right man. You need to do a series where you do this but choose a different sword every time. Loved it!
I like the solution for dealing with heavily armored knights, that was hilarious and tactically sound.
The thumbnail of this video alone was absolute gold, the Castlevania music made it even better.
Maybe the best sword was always just the friends we met along the way
An excellent way to maintain plausible deniability.
Oh, I thought it was about how many people we killed along the way with the sword.
@@MorgottofLeyendellWhat a cool and badass idea! (or maybe deranged)
Instead of saying how many people slained, simply address them as friend while simulteneously tap the sword
The perfect weapon employed by noble knights to dispose of vile bloods
I didn't laugh this hard at a CZcams video for a long time. Thanks for making my day Skallagrimsson
Looks at date... 🤔
Is reminded of Fury Road scene where Max points at obvious trap and says 'That's bait..'
This is most likely my favorite Skall video; not even a competition.
I love that you used the library music from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.
Looks like your channel is doing well, which I’m happy to see!
Finally, the correct and definitive answer to this discussion.
Looks at calendar. Looks at thumbnail. Clicks on it anyway.
I loved this!!!
Love the videos where you play a character, more of those!
I wasn't expecting that bait and switch, great as always Skall
Can we have more "my sword is the best sword ever" skits, please?
Great stuff!
This is more than a "skit"; it's a full-blown sketch.
Happy April fools day 😂
OMG Skall sounds so slappable here ! Truly the most perfect rendition of the duel seeking gentleman :D
That said no lies detected
It is nice that Skall felt comfortable with us to share his true self.
Don’t forget they used these swords in The Duelists
Fine film.
Yes, well, when they weren’t hacking away at each other to the point of exhaustion with heavy sabres. 😁
A certain Mr. Silver would like to have discourse with you sir. When can his seconds meet with yours to arrange time and place?
I knew there was a joke, but completely forgot it was April fools. Thank you for reminding me before it’s too late!
Thumbnail REALLY sets the tone for this video. :D
So wait, he wasn't being serious? But, but, but I WANT to be a snobby gentleman now 😢😢
Gotta love the Castlevania music in the background.
Also, Happy misinformation day, everybody.
You beat me to it. Haha. Such a good game.
Lol. I love seeing the ridiculous videos my subscriptions speed forth on this auspicious of days. *Tips hat* You did not disappoint sir. Bravo I say!
Love this kind of videos, please consider making more of them in the future!
The best sword is practical and versatile. Probably a short sabre like cutlass and wakizashi
The Sword of a Thousand Truths
Well played sir.
Perfect delivery!
Ack-CHYU-ally!!
Master Sword or riot.
Happy April Fool's to you too.
This is my favorite video you've done in quite some time, excellent.
Agmificent, bravo...encore!!!
You heretic! CLEARLY the best sword is a Warhammer 40K Chainsword! For The EMPEROR!!!!!!!!
A Chainsword is for the grunts. A Powersword is for the officer.
@dorkangel1076 OOOOoHHHHoooh?! You dare challenge me, heretic?!
Thank you very much for this new perspective on this topic..
Greetings from Austria.
Love the SotN Library Music in the background for ambience
Oh you nailed the thumbnail. Love it
Love it. Bring this character in more!
SOTN library theme in the background, top-tier. Your argument, sir, is valid.
I've been telling everyone that there is no such thing as the greatest video on CZcams... ALAS! I find indisputable refutation in this masterpiece
Man, I remember when this channel was teeny tiny and I loved your sword reviews and cutting then too. Super happy that you are over 1.5M subs now! I have kept up with watching most of your vids, but I never noticed how high the number got. Well deserved. 👏
Those are some extravagantly nice swords TBH.
Also, I only realized at the end which day this was published, even though I did notice the satirical tone earlier. A great video.
Okay, can bring that kind of sass to other reviews too because, Aprils fools or not, this was hilarious, entertaining and so well done.
Masterfully done my good man. Thy wit weaves likes a spiders web. Good show!
I needed a good laugh, Skall delivered again with panache! Many thanks, good fellow!
Such eloquence, truly this is a presentation for an elevated audience!
Thats your best and most refined video yet.
Enjoy the first of the fourth aswell my deer sir
Wiser words have never been said before
This is fantastic! Truly magnificent! Encore!
bro your videos are always so good god bless
Very fun video !
Thanks !
This made me giggle! Good one!! They do look very fancy though!
the most graceful and elegant video this year. hehe.
Well that was simply delightful, thank you sir
Well done sir. Well done for the first day of the fourth month. :)
Indeed an exellent video.
That was an expertly delivered flourish to celebrate the beginning of a new month, good sir!
Splendid . Jolly good show .
I salute you sir! ^^ Definitely feeling you've had a recent level up in all three sets of skills
Love the dance of gold in the background!
This was great. I loved it
That was honestly brilliant.
Nicely done
What was that!?!
I'm flabbergasted.
And who would imagine Ska is a fine, fine actor.
Well spoken, Sire. Indeed, well spoken.
I expected Katana content, but i was pleasantly surprised! Well played.😂
