Is it true that there's a giant "made in India" stamping on the blade? That's genuinely a deal breaker

What makes that sword beautiful is its simplicity. Its a tool for killing. Basic, unadorned and fit for purpose.

all claidheamh mor (claymore) means is "big sword", so this is a claidheamh mor, maybe even a glaidheamh gle mor

Starts at 900... Omg .. I don't see any for less than 1200

The situation is even worse with browser games. For example: Ubisoft created the game in Tom Clancy’s IP “Ghost recon: Commander”. It was available via the Facebook and had some parts of the lore. But it lasted for just 6 months in 2012. And there are no files of the game, because nothing was ever downloaded.

Guns ruined everything

This is awesome! I'm going to print some for my group, thanks!

Why Arthur is so weak in the lore tho

I love that Luxury Sword, I want to become a American Swordsman as an Superhero.

why do they call it chainmail instead of mail

I have this sword and it is top quality for the price and came as sharp as a razor it has excellent balance and the quillon is large wich i prefer.

I dont like the 3 curls on the ends of the crossgaurd. Any more than 1 i feel is asking to catch on clothes.

It's a little different in England. The first son would inherit all the titles, property, possessions and wealth that was part of the entailed Estate(s). The second son would be expected to go into the military and would be bought a Commission. It was the third son here that would go into the church. If it was a reasonably wealthy Estate the second and third sons might each be offered an unentailed Estate.

Spain AND Portugal!

Thank you for not testing. It was very interesting 😀

Here on a journey to rewatch, like, and comment on all of Shad's videos to increase his engagement and get the channel back up and running smoothly again. I think this counts too, so here's some full engagement.

I thought I just saw Mr Annoying Shadwell did my eyes deceive me.

I like your review I know it's quite old but I just thought I'd mention that the cold Steelers are about the best production-wise price wise matched to that now and there's some really nice ones from windlass steelcraft 2 on crippled and I use one every day

Is that sewing machine oil that you're using

The scabbard is lacking the hook necessary to hold it in the rapier carrier.

And how did that go when the murdering raping English had a go at taking Scotland, oh that's right so called best army in the world was initiated 3-1 still a joke today

Just found your channel. Great review of this beautiful stiletto. I too love these lethal blades. I portray Contessa Catarina Sforza in a historical theater guild. Our ensemble cast tries to keep everything within the time period of 1470 to 1500. I'm looking for an appropriate stiletto dagger ... around 13" or so. This one might be a little fancy for the Contessa. Do you any suggestions ? We're based in the U.S.

A rapier Chevalier d’Andrieux would have worn.

Has anyone posted databases of historical or reproduction weapons that they have measured and entered into this tool?

I have been wanting to buy this sword for my wedding but they ran out of stock on the website I had it saved on. I tried looking on Kult of Athena, and was thrilled to find it! That's where I found this video linked, and it really sealed the deal for me. I really appreciate your content, and I am excited to be ordering this sword now, in part thanks to this video!

More medieval content, please!

I suspect another advantage of the forward curve is to increase the pressure as eh weapon cuts across the target. tests should be made!

Do you think that a fishtail pommel works for gripping the pommel on a longsword?

biggest problem putting down $2200 for a Maximilian then waiting 2 years, if they go under while your waiting how do you get your money back???

I don't know what the heck he's talking about but this sword is beyond perfect, a real battle ready sword with perfect balance and comes with a kings edge on it. This sword was accidentally released i would bet on it. But i am no one who would know.

Thanks for doing these reviews, they are great for someone who knows nothing about swords! Would you be able to share that great picture reference you used of the evolution of medieval armour / swords? Also is there a similar sword (xviiib) with an interesting pommel that you would recommend over this one? Mainly due to the grip issues you mentioned?

Wow what this Thomas😮

God bless your wife

You could get scented oil from Japan. I highly recommend that it's not that expensive and use it like the Japanese. Did their swords just so you know hope this helps

In the year 40,000 they have "powered armor" its a small nuclear reactor that powers fiber bundles to act as a 2nd muscle. It makes the wearer invulnerable to almost everything, including Lazer guns.

Is anyone can help me find the book? or just send me photos of the book? The Art of E Blair Leighton by Alfred Yockney Thanks for saving me 🥰🥰🥰

Who did you get that Roman gladius from? That is very nice

A bastard sword.

To me battle ready means, if zombies attack can it take off heads without glinting or breaking

Boden *zay* ... for pronunciation

Ireland isn't a British Isle.

Just a note on the Latin, it's not "X-pisti", it's "Christi".

Thank you for your Report.

Of course it doesn't feel right to you. It was made for the King of England.

Do you ever use these weapons for anything?

I bet when you’re swing that thing around there’s always that thought in the back of your mind that it could fly apart and lodge itself in someone’s chest 😜

Very nice. I own the Gen 2 Gallowglass. (With matching dagger.) Thanks for the share!!

had this guy never seen knives and swords before? why did everything look strange to him..

а для сложный рисунков все айрографом все делается?

Thomas, thanks for your thoughtful review. Regarding the tips of the quillions, they are meant to be sharp. In terms of injuring the warrior who is wielding the sword, that's a low probability event. Remember, that Irish kern and Gallowglass (and Chiefs) would have worn gauntlets or bracers. In terms of injuring the enemy, the sharper the better on both the true side a and false side. Filing teeth or deep crenelles to trap blades by the edge was also a thing. I'm a Chief of the name and actually have my family's 16th century blade. My O'Dochertaigh relatives have the sword of their last Chief, Cahir, as well. None of them have that spacer ring this sword has. My family's sword had straight not swept quillions, the ends of which are crenellated. The true edge on out sword is sharper, the false edge was less sharp, and the false edge has nick that I infer show it was used in some cases to parry or block on edge. The sheath has a flat not pointed chape, is decorated in relief, with paint and wire and metal inserts. The blade is 35", and has a 12 inch ricasso. It was considered a "short sword," for heavy pitched assaults, and with a targe, for defense. The taper is more extreme, and the tip is much sharper. My uncle had the family long sword (56"), also a ring hilted blade. I also have the scian, 22" long, plus a six inch grip. My ancestors were famed for being very tall, double or triple jointed, and renowned for their swordsmanship. The echoes of that still sound today. when I chat about old times with members of rival 'clans,' such as the O'Sullivans. Our last stronghold was mentioned in an episode of Downton Abbey, Aghamillie Castle, which thanks to Cromwell is in sheer ruins. Earlier, our stronghold was Brugh na Riogh (Bruree). My great aunt preserved the shortsword for me, and in her lifetime, the original wrap around belt had crumbles into dust. She left for me the main fastener, which was a traditional Irish toggle design of white bronze that secured the right end to the sheath, and the toggle that fastened the loops together, which was highly enamelled with late medieval Celtic designs. Also keep in mind that every feature, and yes, some are subtle, of these swords was functional, either for combat function, easy cleaning and maintenance, or durability.
