Behold, big, dumb weapons.

7 foot German War sword with fancy parrying hooks.

7 ft 5 in. Poleaxe

5 foot "longsword"

I am ready for War and hope we get a chance to fight with all of the rain forecasted.

Third Episode of my Longsword Techniques Compendium, this format is more "casual" in a sense that I try to deliver as much informations as possible on certain specific subjects while not spending too much time over every single aspect, a good follow up to the "Longsword Beginners Guide"... Which at some point will be revised, by the way.

This just in from Del Tin! New in the shop: Del Tin Italian Two Handed Sword w/ Black Grip (photos with grey backdrop)

The Del Tin Italian Two Handed Sword is based on a Northern Italian design from the early 16th century. The large blade has a flattened hexagonal cross section with a central fuller and ricasso section set off by secondary guards. The guard and pommel are made of steel and share the same twisted design. The long grip is made of hard wood covered in dark brown leather. The unsharpened blade is made of well tempered Chrome-Vanadium steel with a hardness of 50HRC and is peened to the pommel for durability.

Just restocked: Del Tin Late 16th Century Rapier (photos with red backdrop)

Crafted by Del Tin of Italy, this Late 16th Century Rapier has an unsharpened blade of Chrome-Vanadium steel that has been tempered to a Rockwell Hardness of 50. The complex guard and pommel are of cast, antique-finished steel. The hardwood grip is surmounted by two cast brass knotwork wire ferrules. The grip is wrapped in antique finished brass wire.

The rapier was the Renaissance swordsmith’s response to demand for a light, civilian weapon that could be used in tight alleys, urban streets and duels. Though commonly associated with nobles, the rapier was used by men of many classes. It is a blade design given almost wholly to thrusting attacks – ideal for tight spaces. Long and slender, the blade in conjunction with good thrusting technique had plenty of reach to keep the foe at bay. The thrusting attack, while creating wounds not as outwardly impressive as slashing weapons, were usually the more dangerous, and fatal of the two. Even a wound of a few inches was difficult to treat and critical organs lie not far beneath the skin.

I couldn't help myself. The project I was getting distracted on is finished now. I knew I could do better, so now that I had more time to give him the attention he deserved, I drew the Wild Boi again.

@tashacee I also remembered the scars this time :)

So I did my first SCA Melee Wednesday night and it's probably one of the best, consistent ways to experiment with warfare tactics and fighting that actually gets together every week.

My brain is slightly hyper fixated on using a German War Sword in a field context and I'm going to make one similar to Bjorn Ruther's [video added]. That sucker is 6 feet and 10 inches long and I'm 6'2".

He has an amazing article posted on his interpretations and battle accounts of "short weapon" use with pikes that I would like to experiment with.

Talking with my club mates, Marozzo has some context of two handed swords vs. Pole arm and maybe there is some fun interpretation there to experiment with as well.

There is a bit of a meta game in SCA fighting and length seems to be king. So I'm also creating a hooked halberd at the max of 7.5 feet. Also a katzbalger as a side arm, frankly mostly for the aesthetic.

Anyway, long brain ramble just to say, hema-ist and as a fiore-ist, we have this duelist mentality of one on one fighting and battlefield fighting is it's own awareness and positioning practice. Buhurt only does this in a team type scenario but having 10 dudes in a line vs. 10 dudes in a line is huge change in how to fight.
