@Halofreakanoid I see. We're going to devolve to insults.

Yes, as a matter of fact, I have studied longsword seriously. I personally don't study Meyer because he is a Schulefechten source; I am interested only in Ernstfechten (lethal combat, as opposed to Meyer's sportive system).

I have read...

  @Halofreakanoid I do understand. But you're wrong. There's an account of a friendly deed of arms- I can look it up if needed- that states that in six blows they broke five swords. There's nothing to suggest that a sword represented the same percentage of income that they do today. Additionall...

  @Halofreakanoid Says who? Ringeck? Von Danzig? Talhoffer? Only with the krumphau is there even a comment about flats... and that can't be your own flat.

  Physics? Nope. Not according to any engineer to whom I've spoken. They all agree- through the edge is the strongest way.

  See, I'm not ...

  A block with the flat is more likely to break the sword. Run the math. It's not about what I gain from blocking with the edge- it's about not being hung up on _not_ blocking with the edge.

  If I get a gouge in my blade, it will suck. But I can still kill my opponent with it. Okay, maybe it's not fixable. But all I care about is winning the fight. When he's dead, then I'll worry about the fact that I have to replace the sword. As long as it has an edge, I can kill with it.

  @gurkslsk89- that's cool, always good to have an informed opinion. I do want to address something important- people have talked about notching and thus ruining the blade. And they're right. It would. And did. But notched beyond repair does not mean broken in your hand.

  @Kunstdesfechtens As I understand, most sword finds that are clearly combat related are found in relation to battlefields. In the 15th C., those swords wouldn't have seen a lot of impact because they were used to halfsword, I don't know why you'd need to smack edges together in armor, unless at...

@Kunstdesfechtens Strong compared to the flat. I disagree that you can be "perfectly safe"- every video but one I've seen where a sword breaks it's been across the flat. I've had training swords break, and always when hit flat. I asked a few friends who know more about engineering and physics ...

  I get that nicking up your sword is bad. Breaking it is worse. Every engineer I've talked to says the strong way is the edge. Consider: one doesn't do board-breaking on edge- there's too much material. You go through the "flat." The same physics applies to metal. There's no magical transfor...

@jackchn Kinda what I thought. But hey, in the German system we have a picture where the guy unscrews the pommel and throws it at his opponent- who am I to judge?

Rockin' soundtrack, BTW.

  At 3:00, there is a plate showing the sword sort of hanging in midair, suggesting that it's being thrown or tossed or... heck, I don't know. What's it doing in midair?

  I didn't see you doing anything that looked like an interpretation of that, so I was curious.
