      I’m still not a bladesmith but if I do this as a hobby when I’m off tour from my music career and get an opportunity to compete on Forged In Fire and win $10,000 is it okay if I split the check evenly with my other 3 opponents so we all get $1250?

      The force of an attack can come from the weight or the speed. German dopplehanders were heavier in order to disrupt enemy pike formation while spanish and portuguese montantes were lighter so the soldier could cover more angles and attack faster, but both blades delivered vicious cuts.
      Sooo... can’t tell if heavier is better in this case. You would have to test both and pick up the one you feel more comfortable.

    • @Marcus_McCormick11
      @Marcus_McCormick11 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The period this axe was popularly in Scotlsnd was more at the end of the use of armour (late 16th to early 18th centery). Most of the pepole on the receiving end of it would be in wool coats and tartan plades at most with maybe a steal hide (skull cap) under a hat/bonnet.
      So not so much for anti armour work but certainly anti cavalry/highland charges.

    • @Futureistixsoundz
      @Futureistixsoundz 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@Marcus_McCormick11 You might be right i have not seen any mention of use against armour but certainly the fact that the blade was particularly "heavy" and used against Calvary here is the wiki info.... The Lochaber axe is first recorded in 1501, as an "old Scottish batale ax of Lochaber fasoun".[1]
      The weapon is very similar to the Jedburgh axe, although the crescent blade of the former is larger and heavier than that of the latter.[1] The Lochaber axe took many incarnations, all of them having a few elements in common. It was a heavy weapon, used by infantry for a defence against cavalry and as a pike against infantry. Like most other polearms of the time, it consisted of two parts: shaft and blade. The shaft was usually some five or six feet (1.5 or 1.8 m) long, and mounted with a blade of about 18 inches (45 cm) in length which usually resembled a bardiche or voulge in design. The blade might be attached in two places and often had a sharp point coming off the top. In addition a hook (or cleek) was attached to the back of the blade. A butt spike was included as a counterweight to the heavy axe head. Langets were incorporated down each side of the shaft to prevent the head from being cut off.
      Use
      In hand-to-hand combat, the axe, in common with other polearms such as the halberd, has a spike on the end, to be used on close combat in a thrusting motion. The axe on the side, coupled with the long pole, delivered a powerful blow to infantry or dismounted cavalry.[citation needed]. The example in the Edinburgh Great Hall Museum shows a substantial rear-facing hook, for catching/pulling.
      For lochaber axes used by the city guards of Edinburgh, the hook is almost level with the top of the staff, making them useless as a means to catch a moving object. These hooks, however, may have been used to hang the weapons in the guard room
