      @casey No, they were a northern Irish tribe(s) that moved across the Irish Sea to what is now Scotland, which was heavily populated by the Picts at the time. Eventually the Scots and Picts intermarried enough to the point where the Picts were absorbed into Scots. Though, the Western Islands of Scotland and a few other areas were conquered by the Vikings who eventually also intermarried with the Scots as to be absorbed into their culture as well. Later, the Norse-Scottish of the Western Isles region would come to Ireland as Gallowglass.

      Either way, both would have been made from pig iron, and are in no way "Strong" when compared to their European cousins. On top of that, one of the most famous Japanese sword fighters Miyamoto Musashi preferred to use a Kanabo on the battle field, and boken in duels rather than the katana, even besting a Nodachi sword master with a stick. The Nagamaki was added for the weebs, and because History channel has no interest in history.

      @bandolando3265 5 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      The history channel is highly inaccurate. By the 11th century viking culture was almost completely dead. The last "viking" invasion was harald hadrada in 1066 ad. They werent vikings though, they were just Norwegians. "Vikings" isnt even a people, its a term used to mean raiding. Nobody ever called them Vikings until shakesphere called them that in a play, and added the highly inaccurate horned helmets to them. They arent Vikings, they were danes,swedes,saxons and norweigans. Vikings is a stupid concept, the vast majority of "vikings" were traders, settlers and explorers. Not bloodthirsty pagans who cut down any christian they saw. Many of them converted to Christianity, which is a big reason "viking" culture came to an end.

      I'm pretty sure it's he is talking about the book found in Orkney or Shetland, that warned other raiders about the west coast of Scotland (mainly the sea lochs), as the natives at the time weren't people you wanted to mess with. Apart from that there isn't much on the Vikings in Scotland, it's presumed they traded with natives and they had their settlements on Orkney, Shetland and parts of Northern Scotland. I think he was just trying to make the Highland infantry seem a more intimidating group with or without the Claymore.

      Sgt.Krakatoa Blades that long need a fair bit of flexibility as to not bend or break. It may look wobbly but it’s that way out of necessity due to the much larger degrees of force it will take in fights. It’s certainly not a noodle, though. It’s more than stiff enough to deflect incoming strikes. Flexing of the blade is something you can even see on much smaller one handed swords.

    Not to be that guy... but the Japanese Yari was a double-edged, folded steel sword blade on the end of a 5 foot+ pole, frequently featuring hooks or crescent shaped blades off the side of the main blade, with an iron wrapped back end that functioned like a two handed mace and extremely well balanced to be swung, twirled, and thrust. You can literally see how unwieldy that Knightly Poleaxe is just from them using it on dummies.
