Viking Sword vs Medieval Sword

Thought this was a cool video discussing the difference between two styles of swords.  Cool to see that each is designed differently for the different ways they were used in combat.

Not sure if this guy knows what he's talking about.  But I liked it.  Oh... and not sure where this should be posted... so put it in General Discussion.

Women cannot be autistic, because that implies otherwise well functioning brain to be impaired in some way. We know that women posses no such thing.

Always do sober what you said you’d do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut

Interesting fact: the so called "viking sword" with it's wide blade, lobed pommel, and short guard...was actually used all over Europe in the dark ages and pre-medieval period.  In fact, many "viking" swords were forged in Frankia and obtained by the vikings via trade.

Yes, the japanese tamagochi steel beats all, they had to separate it from the weak trash and then the folded it to give the strength of a thousand gods.
