Clicked on the link because... well who does not love swords or stiletto's in this case. Like many other i stayed to listen to you talk about your weapons. You are clearly passionate about your collection and it shows. You really make listening easy.
Thank you for that great review and the demonstration with a piece of chainmail. I have been considering purchasing that stiletto, and this video made me decide to do it. Thanks!
I love these daggers they are my favourite
Indeed a beautiful piece!
Gunners also had them with marks for measuring powder on the blades.
So they would shove the dagger down the barrel? That sounds cool!
@@gotzvonunentberlichingen1452 no,tables for calculations on some,measuring marks with set amounts on others.Iron hands were optional
One of the nastiest little knives I know of.
kerambits are one league nastier, if you dont have to get through light body armour
@@Ucceah Karambits are for those tacticool dudes who think twirling knives like in the movies is coooooooool
Can you imagine a stiletto modeled after the look of the style of the Necromongers of the Riddick movies?
great review and perfect background music
:)
these reviews are top notch.
i saw that in a book on arms and armor years ago... its way bigger than i thought!
I miss your review series...
Great video! A quick question: is the stiletto one whole piece of metal? You mentioned that the handle and the blade have different colors, but how are they connected? Thanks!
Howard Z this. It definitely not fulltang, bc we can see the perforations in the handle. I'm interested in the construction.
great video tj!
seem a misericordia used for finish the soldiers in agony.
Excellent.
Just found your channel. Great review of this beautiful stiletto. I too love these lethal blades.
I portray Contessa Catarina Sforza in a historical theater guild. Our ensemble cast tries to keep everything within the time period of 1470 to 1500. I'm looking for an appropriate stiletto dagger ... around 13" or so. This one might be a little fancy for the Contessa. Do you any suggestions ? We're based in the U.S.
I suggest doing a search on Kult of Athena, for such a dagger. My guess is that if you are looking for costume grade, a lot of options from a manufacturer like Depeeka.
@@medievalreview yes ... a costume prop. I found Only of Athena online. They have some very nice daggers and I'm checking them out. Thanks!
the thing about the Stiletto being an Assassin's weapon kind of doesn't pan out when you compare it to the Middle Ages French parent. The Misericorde. That's what this is, dressed up in finery, but you don't dress up that finely to remain hidden until the strike, and skulking away, twirling your mustache. In the Middle Ages, the Misericorde was intended for the Coup de grace. A mercy killing, one Noble (Knight) to another, so that he doesn't have to suffer unduly. Seriously, that's what they're for, and despite being worn outside the armor (Where it can be seen) it was a relatively simple, utilitarian weapon. So, take that, dress it up to the point of jewelry, and show it off to your friends in Court. An assassin would most likely have a much simpler, less eye catching weapon. More like an old Misericorde. (Also, not much use for Armor Peircing in Court. They didn't walk around in maille. You carry armor peircing weapons into Battle, where people are wearing Armor.) That's a broach pin, and probably a fork.
Most historical chainmail wasn't riveted, high quality stuff was. it's a pain in the ass to rivet chainmail, because you have to hammer both ends of each link flat, then put a hole through them, Then PEEN them together, while they are linked to 4-8 other links. Thousands of times over. Most surviving chainmail is, because that was the high quality stuff that found it's way into museums, because it belonged to someone who could afford that much skilled labor. (I'd guestimate 7 times more man-hours, and it's much heavier with larger rings, for the rivet points.)How much of that courtly maille lined attire do we have left to study? In fact, how much Provenance do we have on cortiers actually doing this, instead of saying "Oh yeah, I totally had my tailor line mine with a dwarvish Mithril shirt. You bet!" I seriously doubt, if it was even done, it was riveted, because it would tear the heal out of that flax linen, and such whenever you tried to move in it.
Keep in mind that cortiers didn't have netflix, twitter, and youtube comments, they basically had letters to pen-pals, long waits for the snail mail, and gossip. They said all kindsa shit, just like they do in the comments. I'll talk about the armor they wore in court, just as soon as there's a surviving piece to examine.
@@Psiberzerker yeha i think the same is a misericordia used for finish the soldiers in agony, here in italy was often used.
@@Psiberzerker honestly i have buy something of similar years ago folding from a private in 440 steel is really sharp and perfect for tactical situation or collection.
I loved the review for all the historical background, I only wished that you had reviewed the scabbard as well, if they are sold together.
they are sold together. there is not much to say about the scabbard... it is very basic.
+Medieval Review I just noticed that, over at KoA, your intro to this weapon is word-for-word the description on the item.
+Michael Eversberg II intros to the weapons are almost always the catalogue description.
Medieval Review
Roger that; I just found your channel yesterday (after spotting the Morgan bible blade video).
+Michael Eversberg II Cool, welcome to my channel. enjoy!
my only problem is that i dont think that they could make this hilt back in the day because i don't think you can forge weld silver with steel so no chance of making that status in silver and then attached to the blade
Bought it a couple of weeks ago because of this review lol
honestly i have buy something of similar years ago folding.
nice video, i really like you :D
Has anyone addressed the Misericorde? Wounded noble on the battlefield, or a friend who knows he is gone, aomething like this would slip right into an armpit or the clavical area between a helmet and shoulder, driving through mail and gambeson. This was a more gentlemanly version of a battlfield finisher.
Do you make reviews on Medieval Shields?
I can. I make reviews on things I like. Never had a focus on shields, but doesn't mean I can't or won't at some point.
i have a 6 sided stiletto with blood grooves
if a modern soldier stabbed someone with that hed be breaking the geneva convention, i have a trench knife with the triangular shaped blade and whilst doing some reading i came across an article talking about how they were banned due to how difficult the wounds can be to treat
Actually, the Geneva convention doesn't cover weapons. The Hague Convention and CCWC do ban certain weapons, but triangular bayonets are not one of them.
I'm pretty sure it's just the jagdkommando that's banned, because its twisted blade expands the initial wound. Stilettos don't have that twisting, so I'm certain they're fine
hello, like your videos. I also like that you put dimensions and price. .
peace
Thats fascinating. Thats a fucking brutal dagger! Hey do you know what weapons were most favored by female warriors? I imagine there werent so many women in battle in the middle ages, but Im sure there is some historical evidence of it. Swords?armor?
It was no different then what men would wear and use. There is certainly historical record of women who fought throughout history, keeping in mind that it was rare.
Or concealed. Here in Portugal there's at least one case of a girl, in the 16th century, who disguised as a boy to enlist as a soldier (and escape family abuse), and had such prowess in battle that ended up a war hero. She was never discovered, but revealed herself when society insists "he" had to marry a suitable lady... The English version doesn't have as many details, but gives you an idea. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ant%C3%B3nia_Rodrigues
And, by all means, let's not forget Joan of Arc.
As I tell people asking what firearm is best suited for someones wife or daughter, Whatever weapon she comfortably and efficiently use. It goes the same for anyone, me personally being a smaller framed male the weapon I favor will be different than someone 7' tall at 300lbs.
There have been some historical accounts of spearwomen and I think a few archers too.
Due to sexual dimorphism women are smaller and weaker on average. This makes bows and polearms much harder to learn and use. On the other hand especially peasant women were tough. People back then were far stronger than your average degenerates who walk less than 1h total per day and sits for 16h...
IMHO women would be quite good at using daggers, longswords and crossbows (especially in sieges), but would be bad at top heavy weapons (axes, maces, halberds) and things like rapiers, sabres and other onehanded blades, that require an outstretched arm.
Damn that's lovely.
Now days, fashionable women still wear stilettos!
what was the song you used in this video?
Was that a bull farting in a farmers general direction at the beginning.🤨
Nowadays there is a type of knife that looks like an imbetween of the stiletto and the rapier,called the muletto,an even nastier blade
you sure? lmao
@@ungratefulingrate1268 pretty sure,i can link it if you want
@@junichiroyamashita yes yes my joke was that a muletto is usually what you call a forklift. if you wanna send the link I'd appreciate that, thanks
@@ungratefulingrate1268 yeah i know,but it seem it was called like that because people carried it on mule.
@@junichiroyamashita that's pretty cool
Beautiful ⚘⚘👍
I knew what Stilettos were because of Path of Exile :P
A Renaissance ice pick ? ♈⚓⚓♈
Out of stock. 5 years late.
Hi! I'm new here and this is a good video but most times I'm lonely and me want to talk with someone(im a boy) I really like histrory
I'm a boy too good luck finding a girl who likes history lol
Anybody here after watching joergs’ arrow video?
like dem bullet proof clothing
it's gonna pierce a kevlar vest for sure
Most of us talk with our hands, my man on the screen likes to talk with his neck.
idea for a cheap sword review. $60....tempored ,full tang .....promising....it seems. yoda voiced

+mark bennett Budk is a big no no for functional weapons
chainmail hmmm must be aluminium replica shit
Typical for an assassins weapon: it sucks at 1 on 1 combat
If someone was breaking into your place, I bet any other blade in your collection would be better suited to deal with the intruder.
