    Thanks Dave; a great walk through of some of my pieces and glad you like them. Looking at the bauernwehr and the dudgeon dagger, I must have been making pieces for you for well over a decade I think, so thanks for sticking with me! Again apologies for the labelling mistake on the packages, but as predicted, you made good use of our mistake so thanks for that and you will be getting your knife delivered very soon.....

    I'm convinced the nagel was originally to secure the crossguard/bolster to the blade, and was cut off and filed flat, until one day someone came to the smith for their bauernwehr early, saw the nail still sticking out, and said, "nah mate, leave it, that gives me an idea..."

    I really enjoy seeing when a smith does what he wants using historical pieces as a blueprint, I fully understand that historical accuracy is the goal for high end collectors as well as people who want to understand the point and history of a piece by holding it for themselves, for me ive always wondered where smithing would lead if it had carried on with weapon development into the modern era with more cumulative knowledge on techniques and styles, and you really can only do that by letting the smith work the way they want to work and encourage an almost fantasy approach to weapon design (see skallagrims years old video covering the Lord of the Rings weaponry and how valid they would be as weapons in a more real scenario). I've been part of a number of groups regarding both smithing and collecting over the years and honestly there is an unforgivable level of ponciness towards what they call "fantasy" weapons (see - anything that isn't a direct copy of a Peterson type Whatever) but I honestly can't get enough of them. As long as they are functional I'm more than happy to see a smiths skills and vision put on display!

    I heard rondels were for finding the handle. I think it might have been a video from Matt Easton, but he said that bollock daggers were generally worn unarmored, so the lack of hand protection was fine for finding the handle. Alternatively rondel were worn with armour, and the big discs allowed you to find the handle easily without looking down. Because you were wearing armour it wouldn’t rub against you, and you didn’t have to worry about the breastplate sticking out and obscuring your vision. Also the reduced tactile feedback from wearing gauntlets, you don’t have to worry about grabbing the top or bottom half of the handle and missing the other half of the grip

    Going to be honest here. Doubly click-batey title (two premisses - a great mistake and an important topic to discuss -, both deceitful and over-dramatic) with deliberately prolonged delivery, not a fan of either choices.
    For "serious channels", when I go into a video I want not to have to watch 10 minutes of it to actually know what I am watching. I do of course "forgive it" it's a video of clearly predicated on comedic entertainment (with its inherent promises of comedic deceit), so I would advise that whenever you go this route, you immediately clearly foreshadow the real content of the video, so not to leave a certain type of person annoyed.
    Just my personal opinion, maybe I am in a small minority. Keep up the good work, anyhow :)

    Speaking of rondel daggers, I don't think I've ever heard anyone covering the angle that makes the most sense to me, so I'll put it here.
    I don't think that disc is primarily for protection.
    Consider this.
    Аfter you stab someone violently in a combat scenario, you will often want to retrieve the dagger for further use. And you don't want wasting time doing that. And there is _an awful lot of blood and sweat_ (a factor many people don't consider) on your hands (or gloves). And the muscles of your hands and fingers are probably kinda tense and even hurting right now.
    It is probably clear enough where my line of thought is going.
    To sum it up, it is there mostly to give you additional security in your grip. IMO.

    • @danspragens4935
      @danspragens4935 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I see that, but from my perspective: why not both? Whatever may have initially prompted the design choice, it fits very nicely into the gaps of a clenched gauntlet which both increases hand protection and provides greater grip security (not only when trying to pull your blade from a target, but also when drawing in the first place). On that last point, consider that you're likely reaching for the blade once already closed with the enemy and under considerable stress. I imagine, then as now, practitioners would prize a design that served multiple ends.

      ​@@brittakriep2938I have no idea which German words are considered substantives, other than taking the two examples that you listed, but I'll keep it in mind for those ones. =)
      I believe it's best not to capitalise them in English, regardless, as words of that class are not capitalised in this language. I apologise that it probably looks jarring for a German viewer to see German-language words transformed to fit into English grammar, but English viewers would have the same sense of something being wrong if it were the other way around and when writing in English, English speakers are the audience.
      I should say that in English, we start each proper noun, such as the names of languages (even German =P ) with a capital letter. We also don't automatically capitalise the first letter after a colon, so I should write your sentence as follows:
      "A small and unimportant side note: in German, substantives, such as "Nagel" and "Bauernwehr" start with capital letters."

      @@Meevious : As i wrote, this is only an unimportant mistake, which looks unusual to a german person with Asperger disorder :-) . Another thing which is ( for a german /austrian/swiss) a bit funny, is the use of the großen Messers. Here, i used the in german language used grammar case, but here the thing is clearly complicated for an english speaking person, who doesn' t know our german grammar, so for me no reason, to critisize this ( das lange Messer, dem langen Messer, des langen Messers, die langen Messer, den langen Messern, der langen Messer would be six possible variations in singular and plural, which remembers me, when i learned french for four years, i had allways problems to find the correct end of french words, because the sound is for my ears the same.)
      But it is for me good that currently english language is used as international language, in contrast to former centuries, in which French, Italian or Latin was used. For the reason, that English belongs to germanic group of languages, even using many frenchbased words like beef or beverage, it is often similar to German and for me much easier to understand, when you speak about simple everyday things, the words are rather similar, and sometimes the english word is simply a variation of an outdated , rare used german word.
      And, comming to the end, for me as a german, Britta is my girlfriend, it is rather intressting, that in context of historical fencing English speakers use german words.

    The rondel dagger had IMHO a different design purpose: imagine stabbing something hard with a misericordia with small and thin quillions. You'll slide and hurt your pinkie on that crossguard! Now, imagine that it's stuck in a body and the grip is slippery from blood: how, do you get it out again?
    The rondel dagger has neither of these problems! Plus, it offers more protection and you can hit the back to drive the blade further in...

      Side-note: I've been attacked by a knife too. Someone threw one at me in class. It hit with the grip and bounced off my back. I'm glad that it didn't fly like big kitchen knives, or it might have looked very different. Although every knife can hit with the handle.

      Even just plain chainmail demands enough padding to be worn that you would never notice it. Just because your opponent has armor doesn't mean you're presently wearing it, and there's plenty of situations (town guard, etc) where wearing the dagger is more trouble than it's worth.

One thing you'll miss out on, being in the UK, is the customs declaration. I do still get a chuckle out of a rondel dagger being labelled "Kitchen tools". Being one of the least utility knives ever.

    @jamess2873 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Regarding rondels on rondel daggers, I would refer you to Christian Cameron's videos, which i cant link here annoyingly, where he demonstrates exactly why rondel daggers are designed the way they are. They are designed primarily for armoured fighting (although of course they can be used unarmoured, and there are many treatise showing how, as you know.) But they appeared at the same time as articulated complex steel gauntlets. When you wear a gauntlet the rondel dagger fits perfectly with the armour, forming a complete 360 degree coverage, with the rondels covering the unarmoured parts on the sides of the fingers and thumb. This means an armoured man can use a rondel in the melee of a battle with little danger to his otherwise more vulnerable hands, and both attack AND defend with it.
    He does a demonstration of this, and it's really very neat. The video is on youtube and you just have to search his name to get to the channel. They are a system, the rondel and gauntlets, perfectly designed to work together.

    It seems to me that the appearance of a lot of prising rondel daggers out of people’s hands in the manuals supports the idea that the design was intended to prevent this - it shows that there was an issue which makers and buyers of rondel daggers would certainly have wanted to try to fix.
    The logic being presented here is similar to suggesting that the presence of cuts to the hand shows that crossguards were not intended to protect the hand, or that injuries to armoured combatants show that their armour was not intended to protect them from injury.

    That was an excellent bit of misdirection, sir. You had me thinking Mr. Cutler had somehow hoodwinked me, and was truly just a hack. I feel quite bad for falling for the flashy headline. I've purchased a couple of Mr Cutler's blades and they are excellent work indeed.

    I think it's safe to say that the nail and the guard evolved separately, especially considering that guards are found since antiquity; they just evolved to become more pronounced and more prominent. The nail seems to be more of an extension of the pinning needed in knives.

    On rondels there was a remark from someone that it might also help to guide clumsier armored fingers into a nice grip and make it easy to draw in a rush.
