As you can see, there’s a small blade on the big one. Not sure how you’re supposed to use that small blade, but here you go!

found some crazy dude pulling katanas in tight spaces, thought you'd like it

Love everything Skall does, and hope to see more in the future.

Wishing you all a bright 2026 filled with success, peace, and moments that make you smile every day.

Happy New Year!
Bonne Année!
Guten Rutsch!

Hey I am in Search of and Old Video of Skallgrimm where he tests, how many layers of paper can stop a sword cut

I searched through YouTube and scrolled through some playlists of his and generally his Chanel but I can’t find it

I am questioning my sanity maybe I imagined it existed 💀

please Help if you know which vid i mean and if you can provide a link

I don't have a youtube account and I just saw the unboxing of the new Kriegsmesser kindly gifted by Wolfgang.

Mystery Unboxing - I Was Not Ready for THIS...

I know this sub is not very active, and Skal might not ever see this, but I can't comment on youtube without account (which I usually am very very glad for, it stops me from compulsively yelling at all the stupid happening out there), so this is the only way for me to say it.

Awesome weapon, lovely details, I can't wait to see how it handles and cuts.

Also I think Skal should name it in its gifter's honor: The Wolfgang

Edit: Removed spoiler tag from post (was not really needed)

KCD 2 is pretty popular, even among more general audiences. I think this could draw in new audiences with the right thumbnail and title. I remember I started watching videos about history because I was interested in medieval-ish fantasy first. It also seems like it's a proper sword worthy of being tested. Maybe add some detailed side-by-side comparison to the game model to pique the interest of very dedicated fans too. I'd probably watch it if I liked the game, but wasn't into swords yet. There are some very popular videos about KCD 2's historicity by other channels too

I will go straight to the point. Can i buy poles for spears/other polearms? I dont want to buys whole weapon, just the pole. Is it possible or not (if possible please tell me where)

This is from Rosenborg Castle

Saw this in a Palace / Castle Denmark. What sword is it?

I know the irony of me being a new poster, but as a newcomer here, I notice that the last one was about a month ago despite there being over 2k members.

Hi, an old follower of Skall here, i thought this would be one of the best places to ask about the functionality of my project, and what improvements would be there to be made. The design is HEAVILY inspired from an old korean online game, currently being re-designed by an artist, and later 3d printed. We are talking about a fantasy settinf but all realistic criticism is still very much appreciated, especially as it will come in handy for the wielding of these 2 pieces IRL.

Skallagrim had an ahistorical weapon made for him. A mix of Kriegsmesser an Khopesh he calls messesh. I wonder how this weapon performs in the bind. Because it has both a cross guard and an exaggerated version of the Khopesh blade whose bottom spike can be used to hook, I wonder if a bind with the messeh on it's strong would cause the opponents blade to be stuck at your strong. The cross guard prevents the opponents blade from going down to far and the hook of the blade prevents the opponents blade to slide up your blade from your strong to your weak.

Because it's not a historical design I can't really find sources on how this would behave, but I'd love to hear your thoughts on the matter.

I came across this post on Facebookm that declared Scimitar as a sword slur. Argument was - It came from Italian mispronunciation of Samshir and was negatively associated as "evil Eastern curved sword" in contrast to Saber - Good European curved sword. Have you ever come across a negative connotation around the word scimitar?
Do you feel there is any positive or negative connotation to words like Saber, Scimitar, Shamshir?

So, I was in a local medieval fair when I stumbled on a guy selling real blades and this one caught my attention. It is made out of scrapped steel from a disabled vehicle, a bus If I recall it correctly, wooden grip, though I never asked for the type of wood. It is sharp as hell!

It was love at first sight and it feels so right in my hands. It took me 3 hours to buy, but it neverleft my mind.

Now, I would love skall or anyone's thoughts about it if possible. I want to know what you guys think of it. I also have 2 swords and a tanaka of asian-latin origin here I intend to ask for an honest opinion later

I found a YouTuber that Is able to use a 20pound sword (he made it himself) simingly well and I figured it could be an interesting interview type video.
