Nice kriegmesser, with a nice eating knife set integrated into the scabbard. Those are for eating, not for fighting, in the same way you would say that a modern kitchen knife is not a fighting knife, regardless of misuse reports out there. And at 25cm, the grip is long enough to be used with both hands on the grip. That's a katana grip size, so why would we be surprised of this fact. In fact, this historical based piece is the closest thing to a katana in size as far as I know (minus the crossguard). But this vs katana should be a video made by the people inclined to do these type of comparisons.
wouldnt this be better then a katana? Ive heard katanas are very blade heavy to maximize cutting. How much extra damage would you get from that forward balance? Cause I imagine out maneuvering would be more important
@@dog640 I think we go into fencing style territory here. I would also prefer a nimbler blade. But in European sword traditions, we also have blades that are heavier than we find typically on katanas (or larger Japanese swords). Landsknecht Emporium sells the Rotmilan, a heavier kriegmesser with a larger point of balance (so more blade forward presence that would emphasise the cut). So use the weapon that best matches the style of fighting you are proficient in. That would be my take. And if you want to add in the heritage aspect of fencing, do you prefer the Japanese or the European fencing traditions. That's my take on this.
Now THAT, is a thing of beauty! Wow.
Dream sword
Then buy it.. It's still available.
Who cares about rent. You'll figure it out
