I agree with her. But just on previous video (the one where Skall was in "anime sword store") i saw someone in comment section being bitter about how "Skall got soft"... missing the old edgy ranty times... I tried to calmly reply back that he has grown as content creator and as a person. So no.. sadly not everyone agrees with us :( But i hope most of us do ^^ I really like this newer "it depends" and "i wasn't completely right back in 2014". I especially respect how Skall tries to get hands on some of these weapons or methods he used to have issues with in past (dual wielding, throwable objects, improving knuckledusters etc). He admits that maybe these weapons/methods could work better if he practiced more and had more experience with them. But he does try to find strengths and weaknesses instead of only ranting about how they won't work only in theory.
Hey great interview Skall! Love this format. Laura, this was a wonderful showcase of both your business and your personal interest in the sword community. You’re a natural communicator, and Im sure your customer base appreciates it. Wish I was close enough to visit!
Agreed. Usually in these kinds of videos the guests end being basically just pretty passive question answerers but this actually felt like a genuine conversation
"If you look back at something you did ten years ago and you cringe, that's kind of how it's supposed to be, right?" Also, it's great to see two professionals who appreciate each other's work so much.
Whatever Skal "knows" or "doesn't know" he has literal decades of experience handling every kind of sword I can possibly think of. That alone has to count for something.
That much man hrs on something basically turns one into an amateur expert, even if, they never intended to be one.. Just from the experience one gains from the hands on. It's one the things unique about our species. An is probably a key to teaching novices, some of whom eventually become absolutely masters at "X" due to all the practice an experimenting that comes with the hands on.
@@robertagu5533 Idk if id say differentiating expertise is unique to us, where theres more than one tool or environment to use as a tool its possible, but ye
My HEMA group recently did a gaming festival, bringing a few blunt weapons and some armour and doing some sparring so people could see what swords and armour are really like. This absolute belter of a neckbeard started "explaining" to one of our team how swords are used, getting everything completely wrong. It was painful.
You just need to remember that different people devote different amounts of effort and time to what they're doing. I'm a martial artist and a history buff and I probably take it more seriously and devote more time and effort to learning from the right people and doing it than a lot of people. I don't think of it as a good or a bad thing so I can't judge someone like that for not doing it. If someone asks me about something and wants me to show them how to do something I'm usually open, but most people I've come across don't want to learn and are happy with that. Worst person to do that with me was sparring with me and everytime I hit them they stopped to tell me what I was doing wrong...cringy sure but as long as they're happy I can take it like an adult 🙂 Good thing I am because I was not as patient when I started back in my teens 😄
Definitely - I have absolutely no issues with people not knowing stuff, we are all born knowing the same. This guy was telling me how to use a sword, despite clearly knowing absolutely nothing other than what he thought was cool from anime or whatever.
I do appreciate how someone that learns and practices how swords work can from a perspective of understanding debunk how outrageous fantasy weapons would be impractical or even impossible without magic. Kyle Hill, A physicist, does the same thing for superpowers. I appreciate even more the ability to suspend that understanding and just say "It won't work in real life, but damn is it cool!"
Sometimes it is better to go back in time before people like me became sticklers for realism, back when outlandish stuff didn't require expertise to enjoy it.
@@anderporascu5026 Yeah, nowadays it is very difficult for me to enjoy action scenes in movies because they are generally very bad even if the movie itself is great, it would be nice to be able to turn off that part of the brain momentarily and simply enjoy the absurdities.
Kyle Hill has a bachelor's in civil and environmental engineering. He's great, just far from a physicist. (Master of arts in science communication too)
Thanks for visiting Skall! It was great to have you come by and chat about swords and other weaponry ⚔ We hope you enjoyed the rest of your visit to Toronto!
Omg another video from a sword shop around the corner from me! Super cool you were in the GTA and went to these places, I've always had great interactions with Fire and Steel and Medieval Depot.
At the beginning: “We could talk for 9 hours” At the end: “We could talk for 16 hours” If this video was any longer this might’ve turned into days. hehe
Videos where the creator discusses what they knows about something is one of the best things to watch including the creator admitting there is an extent to how much they actually knows about the given subject
I enjoyed this series. I like the critique of fantasy weapons videos in general though. Very nice of you to do this with them. I hope it helps her business.
I think he sends links to everything he reviews which means he doesn't have to cover the costs of storage, distribution or display or cover anyone's wages etc.
Lol, I have the opposite problem. I would assume the staff member I talk to knows a lot about the subject matter and ask a few big questions (not in a mean way)... and they quickly respond with something like, "Uh, lemme bring my manager/supervisor. I just work here." I don't even explain anything; I just ask and expect to receive an explanation.
@@JanetStarChild Absolutely. I never intend to make their lives harder. I just want to satiate my curiosity and know more about the product that I might buy later.
Smart enough to know how little you truly know ...... love Skall for that one been saying it for decades myself. Embrace your ignorance and question everything in life, you only get old when you stop learning.
I am an old guy (66) and have always liked and collected sharp and pointy things. I don't do the gaming but Skall's channel gives me a wider perspective of different viewpoints and opinions. Good job.
One of my definitions of "expert" is someone who claims that they are not an expert. An expert knows how much they don't know. As others have said I would be happy to watch these two experts talk for several hours - even the 9 hours each they mentioned :).
The longsword stuff right at the end reminded me I recently added 3 Longswords to my CE mod. A cut/thrust, a very thrust centric armoured fighting longsword, and a cut focused one based on the Alexandrian armoury finds. Ultimately, a long sword can be anywhere on that spectrum, but the multipurpose cut and thrust really does suit the idea of multipurpose single or dual hand sword.
Hi Skall, thanks for pointing out that it is always possibnle to say critical things in a respectfull way. especially as the addressed people often take the statement more honestly in this way.
One of my favorite cringey con interactions regarding swords was once when I was looking at a zwheihander replica. Referred to it as a greatsword, 'cause the damn thing was up to my chin (I'm 5'9") and some dude handling a wall hanger looked at me and said, and I quote, "That's not a greatsword. It's too small."
I'd argue that the aviation fanboy-ism is even worse than within medieval topics. I design fictional jet fighters for fun and not a single day goes by without someone commenting "it looks like that famous plane" or "that wouldn't fly", as if I had never seen a plane in my life and needed to be notified of what's realistic or not. Replying to them is really tempting but I always apply the first rule of internet: DON'T FEED THE TROLLS (abrasive know-it-alls, in this case).
Laura Suen is the CEO of Fire and Steel. I hope she is also the owner of her company, and that she is not in danger of having the rug pulled out from under her by investors.
This has been a great series with Laura. It’s funny you have so many videos picking apart fantasy weapons from a perspective of realism, and here you are, in a fantasy sword shop filled with wall hangers that have leds and solid iron goat skull cross guards.
Nice to see another one of the few women who're *genuinely* interested in this sorta thing! And I *totally* get where you're coming from with the looking back on some of your old takes & *cringing* ; I used to think double-axes were completely impractical in *any* situation, thinking that the back axe head made it a danger to the *wielder* . I'm sure you can *already* see all the holes in that logic. Now that I've done some research, reflected & done some thought experiments, & even used a double-axe *myself* , I understand I was *wrong* about that; yes, it's a *woodcutting* one, but it only weighs 3.5 LB. , that's light enough to make a decent battle-axe. In fact, now I can even think of a scenario in which double-axes would, realistically, be the *more* practical type of battle-axe, & thus the one that was *favored* ; so whenever I look back on those days when I believed double-axes to be completely impractical in *any* situation, I *really cringe* at just how close minded & ignorant I was. I've made it a point to be *better* than that ever since.
10:26 Lets be honest, unintended cringe-fest videos are the most entertaining Skall videos. Unfortunately Skall is not shooting at swords with guns anymore :-(
Yes I have a few stores in my collection that are still completely good functional swords by I personally find them to be a little heavy or unbalanced for my taste... Doesn't mean they're bad or stupid or anything I just feel like they could have been better. Guy commented one on a heavier less balanced sword in my collection thinking it was the best thing ever and saying I was a little bit weak not realizing I own several much better made swords and I also lift weights every day it burned my hiney but it was also kind of funny.
"Why do you want a battle-ready sword with LEDs in the blade?" "Because I want it, that's why." Yeah, it would be cool, but with my engineering background I understand how impractical that would be.
You can almost always format things like "I really do not understand what the designer is thinking here", and it will be a better description of the situation.
It’s called mount Stupid for the “know enough to be dangerous” stage of dunning Kruger (ok not the official name I don’t think, but colloquially yeah… mount stupid.)
I'm so glad she shouted out Genji's sword specifically, because that was the first place my mind went when she mentioned LEDs. Even then, I forgot his sword's got the LEDs _on the cutting edge._ It's been so long, I thought they were in the fuller.
Love this talk, I would love to visit someday. ...OMG; I'm not really too interested in fantasy weapons personally, but... ...they have a slayer scythe! I might need that!
I mean the nichirin swords from Demon Slayer are katanas. They are obviously practical and you can color the blades particularly Tanjiros sword which is black.
You see this abbrasive attitude, with AI videos very strongly now, people trashing chat-gpt, or Sora or Udio....just because the next best thing comes peekign around the corners and then a week or two later they have to revise their statements because the AI's they trashed are back on top but then they trash the ones they promoted first....Like What the Hell guys, I do not need every AI available or newest or any of that, I am perfectly happy and if the benchmarks say 1% faster, or 2% more understanding.....good for them, a week later the AI's I use are 1 or 2 %better, like really...why do you need to trashtalk them if you are going to end up with your foot in your mouth about a week later, just tell us about their features and If I need it or am interested I will give it a try otherwise do not hype 1 or 2 % improvements. Same as with swords and weaponry, oh the longsword is better not the zweihander, the Katana is better....In the end you will have to train with the sword you can get your hands on and the masters that can train you in using them, and after you are trained, you will usually go back to that sword because you know how to handle it, your memory muscle is trained for it, changing to a different one requires practice again, yes it is faster because you already have some practice but you need to unlearn some things and learn new things. Don't ever trash a sword fighter because if you face a master you are going to get your *ss kicked anyway, and if you survive you will have to live with that shame. a true master is Humble and will see every opponent as "as good as himself", he can not afford not too, a swordfight is life or death
U feel like if you talk about it/go about trying to correct someone (even if you're wrong) respectfully it's only ever good. Gives the person a chance to correct their misinformation
Great video! Someone tighten the nose thingies of lady Laura's glasses please, they keep falling off. :) It's awesome to see creators and designers on camera, more of that please.
If someone asks "can you make this cool thing battle ready" the correct answer is not "why would even want to do that?" The correct answer is "how much money you got?"
Yall done made me a moron. I've done watched two videos and only figured she was a front worker that knew her stuff. I'm sorry. I was raised a gun kid untill I meet the love of my life and she schooled me on what I thought I knew. i shoulda known better but still. Im gonna say sorry sweetheart and even then I'm from arkansas and I mean 110% respect beause you know more than me and the sweetheart is a term of affection down here and NOT a term of disrespect like most of the media wants to play it.
Laura is cute as a button. And she seems fun to talk to. She’s been in a couple videos now. Is she gonna pop up time to time now? Feel with what her company is and what your channel covers, you two could complement each other a lot.
Best moment is Skall sitting there humbly accepting someone in the community thanking him for his service lol. She is saying what we all think
Amen. Acknowledging virtue matters.
(BTW, I love this place ⚔️)
Yup
His face every time she said something about it was golden.

It's easier and less clunky to just say 'they' when referring to a non-specified person.
i know her. We know her. She's always honest by auto highlighting the added crit damage of the sword.
Yeah this spike right here adds 10+ damage to yourself in exchange
Speaking as a "professional" sword idiot myself, I appreciate your information on how swords work and feel to get references for writing fight scenes.

When is Skallagrim going to start his own sword shop.

😅 lol
Oh yes things I've learned since I was a very ignorant preteen now 37 years young and I will never stop learning

I know very little about swords and historical fighting. But I LOVE the no BS❤ keep it up 👍

You see this abbrasive attitude, with AI videos very strongly now, people trashing chat-gpt, or Sora or Udio....just because the next best thing comes peekign around the corners and then a week or two later they have to revise their statements because the AI's they trashed are back on top but then they trash the ones they promoted first....Like What the Hell guys, I do not need every AI available or newest or any of that, I am perfectly happy and if the benchmarks say 1% faster, or 2% more understanding.....good for them, a week later the AI's I use are 1 or 2 %better, like really...why do you need to trashtalk them if you are going to end up with your foot in your mouth about a week later, just tell us about their features and If I need it or am interested I will give it a try otherwise do not hype 1 or 2 % improvements. Same as with swords and weaponry, oh the longsword is better not the zweihander, the Katana is better....In the end you will have to train with the sword you can get your hands on and the masters that can train you in using them, and after you are trained, you will usually go back to that sword because you know how to handle it, your memory muscle is trained for it, changing to a different one requires practice again, yes it is faster because you already have some practice but you need to unlearn some things and learn new things. Don't ever trash a sword fighter because if you face a master you are going to get your *ss kicked anyway, and if you survive you will have to live with that shame. a true master is Humble and will see every opponent as "as good as himself", he can not afford not too, a swordfight is life or death
Basic good advice I heard in a comedy bit from Russel Peters: "Don't be a dick."
U feel like if you talk about it/go about trying to correct someone (even if you're wrong) respectfully it's only ever good. Gives the person a chance to correct their misinformation
Love , and Im wrong , + 1 charisma -1 everything for 100 years 🤣💃🕺🏼
I think swords are amazing. I will always be an axe guy. I've known it since I was 5 years old. Weaponry is weird.
Great video! Someone tighten the nose thingies of lady Laura's glasses please, they keep falling off. :) It's awesome to see creators and designers on camera, more of that please.
Yeah, learning that you don't know so much can be hard. And you don't even need a TH-cam channel to cringe at yourself. Nice interview.
If someone asks "can you make this cool thing battle ready" the correct answer is not "why would even want to do that?" The correct answer is "how much money you got?"
Yall done made me a moron. I've done watched two videos and only figured she was a front worker that knew her stuff. I'm sorry. I was raised a gun kid untill I meet the love of my life and she schooled me on what I thought I knew. i shoulda known better but still. Im gonna say sorry sweetheart and even then I'm from arkansas and I mean 110% respect beause you know more than me and the sweetheart is a term of affection down here and NOT a term of disrespect like most of the media wants to play it.
Laura is cute as a button. And she seems fun to talk to. She’s been in a couple videos now. Is she gonna pop up time to time now? Feel with what her company is and what your channel covers, you two could complement each other a lot.
