I avoided getting a Nimcha for the longest of times. I finally did it, and got a more naval size blade (European import most likely) and a wooden grip. Boy do they feel good in the hand. That notch for the small finger gives it a unique control. You use a sabre like grip, but your hand feels secured holding it. I am still avoiding non-European swords to avoid diluting my collection focus, but Nimchas are pretty unique. I'm now happy I got one.

Hey Thierry can I have the gunto katana and Georgia navy sword I have subscribed your channel and I love your videos

thats beautiful shamshir

27:00 nice!

4:00 what's the weight on that buckler?

I love the unusual swords and commentary, keep up the good work

Always loved these naval style spadroons. they really hit that sweetspot for me between simplicity and style.

Это шамшир он у всех на востоке был,у мамлюков другого формата сабли были

thumb loops on hilts are usually associated with more cut oriented cultures and index finger loops are associated with thrust oriented cultures

that early modern Chinese short sword is very similar to the Artillery swords / Cabbage chopper . . . . of Europe at the same time probably has a European made blade as well

thats some beautiful axe and jian

The second nimcha is simply a different sword type altogether, although they are related. The first is from Morocco or Algeria and the other is from Zanzibar or Oman. The peen block represents a turtle. That type of blade is a typical style for the Arabian peninsula. I have one with a straight blade and it's one of my favorite swords to hold. That grip is super comfortable with my leather glove on.

Nothing wrong with entry level it's all my wallet will allow anyway

I love your “out of the box” solution to your critics 😂 regarding your boxless unboxing video!

In the united states marine corps officers wear a mamaluke sword in their dress uniform

Man, you need to up your video game ASAP! Quality is closer to 2004 then 2024

What is this? 1 8 5 0?!?!

Blunderbi’ That’s the most unintentionally funny thing I’ve ever heard

Wow! What an incredible sword - I’ve never seen anything like that…

how does that Ethiopian sword compares to the Roman Gladius since they are both simple symmetrical swords with a similar size and shape

👍

Do you have a website for the purchase of swords ?

Looks like your camera is better, but the resolution is too low! I want to see the sword in all their intimate details. Does that sound inappropriate?

If im not mistaken in India many of their blades were scarf welded in sections like that from the outset. Especially when it came to really long blades like the Khanda. I pretty sure Matt over at Scholagladitoria has talked about it b4 as well.

is 240p the most pixels available for upload?

Will the scabbards made of wood or leather

A very nice looking sword sir

What is your address where we can find items on sale

That Saif looks like it was descended from the Roman Spatha.

"comes to my waist" is not an accurate measurement. Give me the stats! Rather poor video, you can do better.

Hadn't appreciated how broad and fearsome shotels can be. That blade looks like a terrifying cutter

Btw i would suspect that little hanger belonged to a Freemason. I recognize the symbols etc on the blade as being similar to others ive seen in hanging in masonic halls here in the USA.

Very nice. When it comes to melee weapons another reason we Americans much prefer(ed) the tomahawk & the large bowie knife to things like the sword is that the shorter weapons fit our hit & run tactics better. I myself am half native & many of the people at the time were at least either part native or lived in close enough proximity that the native fighting styles "rubbed off on us". Plus we just had more tomahawks & large knives available. Cheers!

Very nice swords. Though I suppose I am a bit partial since those are the type I train with most often. Lol

I was really hoping he was gonna just stab the wall.

Thank you for this review very thorough and informative

Quick question: were is the point of balance? Cheers

It's interesting how pretty much every culture on earth has at one point two kind of straight sword (edge-dependent) and two types of curved sword (one for each direction)

do you know if any copies were made? I have one but the name of the manufacturer (osborn and gunby) is not clearly visible.

This is a really excellent comparison, thank you!

Interesting that the ears on the backstrap are the full D rather than the thin tab style on mine. Do you think this is a troopers version as Dellar suggests?

Basically an africanized roman spatha, which considering their roots as an Orthodox Christian/Catholic nation & their trade in goods as well as cultural ideas it doesn't surprise me at all.

the Mamluke sabre would have been consider a Messer in German terminology due to the design of the hilt

the first sword seems to be functionally very similar to the 1796 light cavalry sabre

Very nice. 👌⚔

Absolutely beautiful. The blade is a work of art.

how they managed to dye the ivory green considering that it is a really tough material?

the most noticeable feature to me is the simple yet unconventional point design

Mine was delivered by "Galt & Son, Naval & Regimental taylors, Portsmouth", with a transitional blade putting it at 1844-45. Those early ones are so beautiful.

the Nymcha probably first started out only having a U shaped cross guard and the full knuckle bow was added on it due to European influence
