@RoundEartherGod@alexboge Honestly he gets so worked up over the supposed flat Earth, he was recently divorced, I'm gonna guess heart attack.
Which would explain why he was working on losing weight.
Hard to tell with such a poor quality image especially around the lockes of the flints.

Longword, bastard sword (épée bâtarde), hand-and-a-half (hate this term as it is very modern), espada-de-armas, espadón, spada longa, spada due mani. All the same basic thing. Do you want to get into Oakeshott Topologies? A sword designed to be mostly used with two hands but can be used with a single hand.
@Triafis1 First we need to define the era. Lets say 1420
1.) The longsword is made of FAR superior steel.
2.) The longsword is longer and lighter.
3.) The longsword has two sharp edges and an acute point.
4.) The longsword has a more protective guard.
5.) The longsword is more durable
@SarahisCensored I pray he isn't from any of the martial arts schools I have taught at or worked with over the years. I mean he CLAIMS to be a longsword person... but good gawd.
@Partisimo@libsoftiktok As a person who not only teaches longsword, but has been part of the martial art for nearly 20 years now, people like this are a pox on our art.
