One cirticism I have of using Oakeshott too much is that it tells you what the sword looks like, not what it feels like, and that can often be deceptive. There are some swords with wide blades that look like choppers, but once you have them in hand, you find out they are nimble and much better for thrusting, and vice versa. This also goes for sabers, some people will tell you that a hatchet point on a magyar sabre means it's for horseback cuts, but from what I've seen, there are some that are indeed choppers and others that are quite nimble. The reverse applies to almond point sabres, too.
The sabers are especially relevant if you are interested specifically in Italian swordsmanship of the period, as opposed to generic 'western' - Italians did a lot of fighting with, for and against Hungary, and that means not only magyar sabers, but also cuman and mongol mercenaries.
MartinGreywolf you are right. Oakeshott typology is more for collectors and partially for historians. I use it mainly because is well recognized in our environment.
The arming sword is my favorite weapon
The locations where you shoot your videos are making me jealous :D Good stuff as always :)
Eheh! Thank you Martin
The spam gets more elaborate every day...
I love these man. Your explanation is concise, informative and the background is absolutely amazing!
Thank you very much!
i was thinking of making a Minecraft mod that uses actual sword positions and things .. this has been verry useful.
Cool!!
I love both of your arming sword videos. I just bought a sparring arming sword to start my journey into HEMA, and your videos are perfect to help me practice and learn the guards for one-handed swords. Thank you so much, I can't wait to see more videos I can learn from. :)
Happy to read that!
The way you describe everything step by step with slowed down video is absolutely amazing. Thank you for making these videos and I hope you continue enjoying what you do.
You are welcome!!
i just got my first sword.Love the videos c:
Got the bug for swords and got myself a type X viking sword and using the movements here! Very helpfull. Thanks
Nice series! I especially love the scenery in the background. Beautiful.
Finalmente! Ottimo lavoro, non si trova quasi nulla di dedicato alla arming sword, continua questa serie!!!
Manuel Pirino grazie

@@FedericoMalagutti you're welcome
Do you have runescape music playing in the background or is my childhood memory betraying me??
Ciao amico! Great video and a great series, I'm really into arming swords now, I already train Fiore's Longsword but I want some variation, and a short sword is a great weapon to start. Would you have some reference about one handed swords and Shields? Like Heater shields, not bucklers.
Great videos Frederico
I think you can put together types XV and XVIII. Types XVIII are, after all, simply a type XV with a more gradual profile taper. In fact, some swords can be hard to judge whether they are XV or XVIII. And you do show some key examples of Type XVIII in the video.
For arming sword, that is. For longswords the whole XVIII family becomes a much more complex issue when compared to the rather simpler XVas variations (long and narrow, broad and shorter)
I agree with you 100%, I decided to leave the XVIII out of the video mainly because this kind of sword type tend to be a bitter later-ish. Not everyone of them but a good number, while my main interest here is speaking about "pure middle ages stuff". This choice is of course totally arbitrary, as the choice to not "consider" type XVIIIs because of this reason.
Plus they have a weird variety of blade shapes to fit in this "Super-ultra simplified" way of looking at medieval swords.
Anyway yes! I added one of the castillon sword to the type XVs in the video (even if in fact is an XVIII) mainly because was the largest immage in terms of pixel that I found with a castillon replica, I would have liked more an actual XV of the castillon findings but meh.
Mmmm... I get that, but IMO XVIII and XVIIIa are key arming sword types that show up in art and surviving examples a lot. And them you can easily present :) You took a bit of an easy way out.
@@borislavkrustev8906 Indeed, maybe I will talk about them in the future, there is plenty of things to say on the topic so I may add more info in terms of Oakeshott typology in the future and add stuff which was not in this video. (like the weird XIX shape too, especially the one with the single finger ring)
Federico, is it ok to apply the technique of Marozzo to the regular old arming sword, or will it only work specifically with a side-sword? Also, I know that "side-sword" can be a tricky term because some people don't even think there is any real difference between it and the arming sword. But to use the Bolognese style of swordplay, does one need the more complex hilt with finger ring, etc., or can you just as easily use a simple cross-hilted arming sword?
In terms of Bolognese stuff, you can do most of the stuff presented in the manuals. But you have to carefully choose what to study by considering, as you mention, how the protection and (even more) the leverage granted by the ring grip are affecting the aforementioned technique.
Even if sometimes people says that the sidesword and the arming sword are similar, sadly it's not true! We may even compare messers, dussacks and sabers because, in the end, most of the motions are similar, but everyone of this weapon have it's own average weight, shape, lenght, grip and as a result, different leverage on the arm. So this (together with other aspects) ends up affecting the choice of techniques.
Hello, great video! Is there a book or a treaties that you based your techniques on? I am interested in single hand (arming sword) techniques. Your videos are most welcome but they appear quite seldom regarding this subject.
I explicitly told which manuals I used for this video in the episode one of this series ^^
Anyway, any renaissance or medieval one handed sword manual can be used to learn the technical movements of, broadly, one handed weapons. Dussack and Sabers too even if if, because of their shape, more specialized and with slightly lesser options.
So try Manciolino, Marozzo, Fiore dei Liberi, Johannes Lecküchner etc etc.
@@FedericoMalagutti Thanks!
@@gearstil you’re welcome!
Hi Federico, my little knowledge of the sources tells me that the arming sword was almost always used with bucklers or shields. Do you know any source for arming swords and no shield or buckler?
I don't know any sources, that's why in the first video of this series I explain that I'm triangulating this weapon using other sources.
Type 18 sword is the same as the 2000BC greeko-minoan sword. 3000 years of 'evolution' to make a full circle :)
