No, no, no. What you pictured as a claymore is the Claidheamh da laimh. This two-handed sword. This sword was used circa 1400 to 1700. It had angled quillons with quatrefoil tips. This is also not the sword used by William Wallace (1270-1305), he died approx. 100 years earlier. Calling this sword a clamor is a solidly entrenched misnomer. The real claymore is a basket hilt, the great sword (Claidheamn Mor). This sword was used from about 1550. It is a single handed sword with a basket hilt. Written records from Scotland from 1643 call this sword a claymore. It replaced the two-handed sword in Scotland. The Basket Hilt Back Sword had a single edged blade. The Basket Hilt Broadsword had a double edged blade.
I don't understand how the epee could have been so harmful because when I watch videos or see pictures it almost seems as if it could not have a blade as it looks almost perfectly round. I'm watching to learn so i know i dont know what I'm talking about so if someone could fill me in i would be greatful. I didnt mean not harmful because ofcourse as stabbing would kill but as to slash with I just don't understand. It seems like just like a wide wire but then again i have never seen one up close. Interesting weapon but where and how does the blade work? Because it looks as if it does not have a blade
I suppose a scimitar fits into the "cutlass" category. It's similar to a sabre or falchion, but is of Eastern origin. Nowadays, the word sabre covers all forms of curved blade regardless of their place of origin. But yes, the scimitar was certainly a nice sword and worthy of mention!
Historically speaking, longswords are typically classified as two-handed weapons, although I am aware that many famous RPGs classify them as single-handed weapons (e.g. D&D). Ultimately if comes down to "What is considered 'long'?".
Beautiful video man, my favorites swords are the European Longsword, Katana and the Rapier
I’m a Axe-man myself, very partial to a nice Axe. But good review and I learned something.
I like axes too, probably not as weapons, but as a general all-purpose tool, I like them.

It’s supposed to stab not slash. If you want to slash use a katana, if you want a mix use a Longsword or something

It’s a Gentleman’s tool for Death
True.
are you sure that you don t confuse the long sword with great sword ?
Long swords are used with shields and can be used with one hand. Great swords are just FAT MOMAS and use both hands. Such as the Zewhlander.
