Ewart Oakeshott- Innovator in Sword Classification

Besides being an acclaimed author and collector of medieval arms and armor, Oakeshott developed the most inclusive system for categorizing and describing swords- The Oakeshott Typology. In this production diary you will see how Reclaiming the Blade explores Oakeshott's contributions to Historical European Martial Arts and takes his Typology to the next visual level with the help of artist, Michael Harley.

Random comment at the end...? Improper not to acknowledge his spouse? Who gives a shit...?

This is amazing the Oakeshott chart literally is the "Rosetta Stone" of swords.

I have 2 type XIIa swords, and believe me when I say whatever one hits is cut in twain.

I would never have thought these swords could cut like they do.
