The second sword which i think you call "the Borgholm sword" can be viewed live at denmarks National Museum in copenhagen, its part of the permanent medieval exhibition. Just a side note if anyone would like to know. Good video!

I wonder if that bind problem is why Italian and Spanish swords later on grew more elaborate cross guards with multiple finger loops and such.
-
that cross leather thingy also resembles , to me the more complex guards seen in later period medieval swords

This is Thrand!!!
Excellent I believe you have rediscovered the purpose of that it seems totally logical.
-
That's why you need a basket hilt,rest is all too risky.

I started using this a year ago after discussing this with Roland on SFI I believe. It has worked quite well, so I am happy they have discovered the true purpose.

I find that the flanges on my federschwert often seem to serve in the same manner, so often in fact that it leaves little doubt in my mind as to their purpose. Interestingly, I don't get hit on the thumb that often in sparring, however. My pinkies suffer far more often. This might be a result of the way my group spars, or of the fact that I'm left-handed. If anyone could shed some light on this I would certainly appreciate it.

That happened to me all the time at this year's Dreyn event! Im very interested in this kind of leather protection. I would definitely would buy some for my longsword.

@jimmy202500 More complex hilts were developed later, of course, with nagels, thumb rings, knuckle bows and all that--presumably to prevent just such a problem. I'm assuming that before anyone thought of that, a little disposable scrap of leather seemed like a damn fine idea, though.

why not just make the hilt triangular?
