Since people keep asking about that Lockwood longsword with bronze guard and pommel... Had to sell that too. Doesn't matter how much I like a sword, sometimes I just need money and/or space.
See.. that was my thought... But I guess where you live at has to determine your mind set... Eventually he will get his house... And it may be different then
I really don't understand why your videos aren't getting the same traffic. The quality on them hasn't dropped, you're still getting tons of likes and comments from dedicated watchers. I'm sorry RUclips isn't promoting your stuff anymore. Your content is still awesome
Yeah, I don't know either why the algorithm seems to be actively trying to kill off my channel or something. Maybe refusing to do clickbait really just gets punished that much.
Hi Skall, I just want to let you know you have inspired me to join a local HEMA club. Thank you , I’ve always been intrigued by history and historical combat. Your channel is a wealth of information.
My father is a blacksmith and I’m currently getting into it, too. So far my father has made about 50 swords, 23 of them being in our house. I’m very proud to be his son and follow in his footsteps.
Thanks for the video as always! Your answer to the question at the end is spot on. I've had multiple collections of various items in my life which I was very fond of. The first was a firearm collection. There were some very rare pieces I would have said at one point in my life, I will never sell. Things change when someone you love gets very sick and you need cash. I wish I still had many of these and while I may think of them from time to time, I will never regret doing what I had to. Our bellies are a little bigger and our hair a little grayer, but she is still with me, so I made the right call.
I have to object to assigning the 7.62x39mm cartridge the blanket description of, "armor piercing rifle ammunition." I concede that if the specific ammunition used had steel cores, like those found in Norinco yellow box, it could be considered armor piercing. However, most of the 7.62x39 available in the market today is going to be 122 grain lead core FMJ which is assuredly not armor piercing. Other than that I enjoyed the video; You have a very nice collection!
The Windlass katana/longsword hybrid is intended to look Sci-Fi as it was produced at the time of the Star Wars prequels & was part of a series that too inspiration from such. In the series there were some outfits including footwear, a short double edged sword to act as sort of a wakizashi, a short gladius inspired weapon & and a short pole arm that sort of resembled a partisan that were intended for the bad guy minions. I'm certain I still have some of the catalogs they appear in and I may do a video to show it soon
@@davidhughett6081 well I was just thinking of what sword related vid to do next & time issues... catalogue showings would be easy & different....I'll put it on the fast track!
@@asa-punkatsouthvinland7145 Excellent! If it is the partisan / polearm that I think it is, I came very close to buying it on several different occasions, but ultimately decided against it. Then it got discontinued. A major regret on my part!
@@davidhughett6081 I uploaded a short I made of the catalog pages from Museum Replicas c.2004 on the Star Wars inspired "Galaxy Crusades" line; it's where the katana/longsword hybrid Skall shows in this video comes from.ruclips.net/video/pCFmBVuoTX4/видео.html
While I was watching, I couldnt decide which sword is my favourite. Each one has a unique feature that makes it stand above the rest... and though I tend to prefer simplicity, balance and easy handling in a sword is hard not to appreciate all the hard work and craftsmanship put is some of these. Anyway, great collection!
i was so bummed when i thought the axe was sold out cause the link on the original review no longer functions, now that i realize how much i want it, im buying it as soon as i make sure my finances are within acceptable margins. having a big ass long axe with tons of chopping power, that is agile, sounds like a ton of fun, thanks skall for re-finding it for my dumb ass :D
The falchion made by that works is definitely the most valuable piece in your whole collection. It is probably worth almost as much as the rest of your permanent collection combined.
I believe you have made great choices in the collection you have plans on keeping. The choices of which is superior will take more study and certainly give you a vast amount of subject matter. That should last a long time in the coming future for your channel.
9:30 I will tell you the truth. I expected a heron mark on this one. This looks like the sword I thought that swordmaster in Wheel of Time would use, from the description in the book.
Very much enjoy you showcasing your collection! Your time to show what you lobe out and it's entertaining/ relaxing to watch! More show and tells needed !!

The body of the Swedish axe is wrought iron, its also folded by traditional means. 3 pieces coming together as one axe.
Get a practice basket hilt broadsword from castille/armour class. You would fall in love with it trust me. The level of hand protection combined with its sheer weight just make it so fun to spar with. A tank that could just blocks everything dead in the air, and a return so fearsome that would often blow up parries from lighter swords.
Skall: …This one is quite lite. Next weapon: ….This is quite lite as well. Next weapon: ….This one is quite lite as well. Next weapon: ….This is also quite lite. Next weapon: ….This is an extremely lite weapon. Me:……I’m sensing a bit of a theme here!
@@Neiot thank you my friend. do not worry i saw that something was going wrong, and turned back and went back at my friend appartment, waited for a bit. then went back to my car. was a bit scary, but went ok
Personally, I have a number of large knives and small machetes, plus some smaller knives, and hatchets. Some, like this one Machete/Billhook/Saw thing I got - a Mossy Oak tool that seems to be built for camping - look a lot like Fantasy weapons - aforementioned tool looks a lot like an orc sword from Lord of the Rings. Then there's the Minimalist - a Bowie-style boot/neck knife barely 5 inches long from point to end. Very sharp - I use it to free the other knives from their packages.
Just looking at that collection with a bit of weapon envy. I can't afford that stuff IRL but I have a huge collection in Skyrim. Guy named Billyro makes some stunningly well replicated weapons.
The axe @24:08 is almost the shape I’m wanting to find to make an actual usable Axe/ walking cane. I want to make it for wood carving and able to cut limbs and other pieces out to carve using the axe itself as well as a carving knife. I have another design that actually Carrie’s woodcarving knife blades in a hollow shaft, I just have to figure out a way to carry the handle portion. With always having one hand occupied it would be nice if the cane had other uses. Maybe one day I’ll get it made or modify an existing axe head…
I watched Skallagrim in 2016 onwards. I have dreamed of the Knect and since it's not available but looks like it, on their site, I feel bad and very much regret not getting one. I mean a lot of money, but the price would have been paid long ago and I'd still have it!!!! That's how it works!
It must've been a difficult choice between that Scottish basketed broadsword and the German town guard one I've handled both kinds a few times and prefer the swept hilt over the fully encased one, it obstructs my grip a little too much
The thing about weapon collections... It is NEVER enough. But even more fun is actually making your own blades, you control everything from start to finish and if you don't like the end product, it's all on you. Then you sell the failure and do it again :3
I still have a copy of the catalog (#86, from between 2002 and 2005) that your “sci-fi katana/longsword” was advertised in- it apparently is from Windlass’s “Galactic Crusades” line. The one you have is called the “Out World Katana”, and there’s a matching short sword, which for some reason is double edged. They also made an “Out World” gladius and a polearm, which all (mostly) match. I don’t have the earlier catalog that also advertised the costumes from that line, but from what I remember, you’re not really missing anything by not seeing them. In this same catalog, Windlass also advertised their “Wheel Of Time” sword replica- I never saw the show/read the book, so I don’t know if it’s an accurate depiction of it. They were heavy into movie replicas and costumes- this particular one has the most LOTR stuff of that ilk that I’ve ever seen, and catalogs from this era also featured Kingdom Of Heaven, Forgotten Realms, Endless Realms, Star Wars, Marvel characters, 300, Warhammer, Harry Potter, and many more. Ah, the good old days. The only bad thing was that back then, I couldn’t afford any of the swords out of there- I wish they’d re-release a lot of those discontinued designs, as some were incredible. Thanks for the great video!
I was really impressed by that 4th one of Chinese design. I was going to suggest a khopesh be added but that zombie cleaver looks like it will do the job just fine. Lol.
I would be really interested in seeing your training sword collection. Your channel got me into HEMA, so I'd be curious to see how your collection is going
i still think disc maces are the true best self defence weapon. nobody would think it's a weapon - you could open carry it and nobody would bat an eyelid.
I really like the look of the straight double-edged Chinese swords. Its very elegant. Im also glad that Matt Easton seems to like them too since he has been reviewing quite a few of them. I must say that if i could only buy one Asian / far Eastern sword, i would go for a Chinese two-hander over a katana or any other Japanese sword. Edit: I also like how they whistle when you swing them right.
These are amazing weapons too! I like the hook sword and double edged butterfly blade the most! That recurved blad and ringless 9 ring broad sword looks good too! My collection is not as big,and there will not be many swords,but there IS a sai and a chain and a baseball bat and a few staffs.😅
Honestly hadn't noticed the beaver logo until you pointed it out 😹 hadn't seen that longsword katana hybrid before! That's awesome. My biggest fantasy desire is a very similar one, a two handed viking sword with minimal guard. I don't know why, the aesthetic just appeals to me

Taking the picture for the thumbnail cant have been easy, great work !
Well I guess you never could cheat on the knecht ;)
They way it goes sometimes
M to get more put if that light spear maybe use an "atlatl"
Essentially a lever action spear thrower..
Idk just a thought..
Real question is, if it's apocalypse which weapon out of your collection is your edc?
"Is This its Final Form?"
We both know that a collection being "finished" is always "that one last sword" away.
LOL, you'll never ever have enough medieval weapons, it's a law, like the law of Gravity. What you have already is not quite enough.
Similar to motorcycles, the formula for the ideal number of weapons to own is x + 1, where x represents the number of weapons you currently own.
See.. that was my thought... But I guess where you live at has to determine your mind set...
Eventually he will get his house... And it may be different then
For me the ideal would be one for every type of weapon, you still can overspecify the categorization to have as many weapons as you like
@@dereksendall6488 Heh, that's me, but with Gunpla: you can never have too many, you know?
For western riders it's pads... can never have too many pads..
That "Skalchion" is probably the coolest sword I have ever seen. Excuse me, I'm going to go and get my own Reaver Cleaver, now ⚔
To each his own, but I more like Brisingr, also made by Ilya and Matt, though I am even more fond of "barbaric luxury".
The hardest part about having a collection is always what size to keep it at. Nice video

My father is a blacksmith and I’m currently getting into it, too. So far my father has made about 50 swords, 23 of them being in our house. I’m very proud to be his son and follow in his footsteps.
Has your father or you tried to forge a sword with a distal taper?
@@martinsmith9054Yes a couple.

Yes! I had been waiting for a collection update video for so long
Those tank models they made were pretty damn cool, nice to shout out the mates!
Thanks.
I could see the headhunter axe on the VERY edge of everything, I was just waiting for you to cover it. gotta be one of the coolest weapons I've seen
Watching this video was a walk down memory lane. I remember so many review videos you've made from most of those weapons.
Didn't realise you'd moved on the town guard sword. That sword was my favourite in your collection 😭
The falchion made by that works is definitely the most valuable piece in your whole collection. It is probably worth almost as much as the rest of your permanent collection combined.

It is nice to see all these weapons, that appeared in your past videos so many time all together.
Media never gives enough to credit to how incredibly destructive a good thrusting weapon is. Pokey Gang 4 Lyfe
That katana hybrid is and will always be a favorite of mine.
Love how I know nothing about swords, honestly not hugely interested and yet I still enjoy watching these for some reason!
"It's colleciton time" + Bandana + Long hair giving me huge Green Ranger from Mighty Morphin Power Ranger vibes

I was gonna put on a video to listen to while I lay down but i clicked on this and ended up watching the whole thing it's so interesting

Maybe you can start a petition to bring it back. If the company sees enough people want it, they might make more.
Did not expect to see a Nigel Thornberry reference!
Very awesome collection. Sadly can't compete.
Your review was the final straw... I ordered a Landsknecht Adorian messer!
Always a treat to see the Knecht 🤤🤤🤤
Lots of very fine blades there
15:28 it's a mini messer!
It must've been a difficult choice between that Scottish basketed broadsword and the German town guard one
I've handled both kinds a few times and prefer the swept hilt over the fully encased one, it obstructs my grip a little too much
The stabby stab, slicey slice, bonky stab, bonky slice and bonky bonk
Your Albion "warknife"? is still my fav from your collection. Its such a beautiful and practical blade IMO.
Same for me!!!
I've actually been wondering for a while what you still had around!
Everyone needs a hobby and I gotta that's quite a collection
And this one is pretty expensive.

Just saying, I wouldn't mind a 3 hour video of your Entire collection.
24:47 Oh no, you put your spear in the drier! It's air dry only!
Just made a disc mace with an old sprocket.. Work's Amazing
The hammer is my favorite.
Nice collection! I too live in a smaller space and have a rough time keeping stuff uncluttered.
Sir this is not a collection, this is a dragon's horde.
I was really impressed by that 4th one of Chinese design.
I was going to suggest a khopesh be added but that zombie cleaver looks like it will do the job just fine. Lol.
Good advertisement for the current stock of ye old blade shop. "Hint hint nudge nudge" 😉

i still think disc maces are the true best self defence weapon. nobody would think it's a weapon - you could open carry it and nobody would bat an eyelid.
The custom sword at 18:29 looks very similar if not identical to a weapon in a kinda niche game (Kenshi) called the Desert Saber.
I just noticed the "new" beaver logo lol
Nice touch
;)
You should have kept the Caithness, symbol of your channel.

In case of a zombie apocalypse, Skalls only problem will be which blade to choose
Love you, Skall.
Would love to see a full video of the Katana Longsword Hydrid
The messer also refers to the opponents pants as you walk towards them in the corridors of the psychiatric ward.
The falchion has to be worth a couple of grand if not more, what a gift.👍👍👍
The gallowglass is just beautiful by far my favourite sword
You have great taste. All your swords are so cool
Small's got LOTS of blunts.
Got it!
Is the Reaver Cleaver basically a zombie-themed Chinese dadao? Cool.
That's a pretty impressive collection. Of course they're all light, you sold the heavy ones.
Grams . . . ah, I'm too tired. And no one cared.
I'm quite surprised that you parted with the Caithness!
the weight of the skallcion and its characteristics, makes me wonder if that works missed out on some very essential distal tapering
I've been watching for over 2 years, never noticed the logo is a beaver.
:)
1:18
gently persuade them...WITH SWORDS?!
Didn't realise the Caithness is gone, that was such a nice sword.
I really liked the boar spear 😎🤙
It did take you mentioning the channel logo change for me to notice it lmao
Skal, I assume you do your own sharpening and upkeep? Could you possibly do a video on that?
Skall rocking the byeah fit
A very lovely collection.
I’m sure quinn would make you some really nice leather sheathes for your Albion’s.
Man youve got me thinking about that langmesser...
Good for the zombie apocalipsis , and good art Metal !
sweet collection, keep them all. especially the historical reproductions.
I love the falchion
I somehow didn't know about the katana/longsword hybrid! Noice
9:54 This is just a sword in the shape of a Japanese sword... the centre of gravity is so far back, which means it is not easy to control
Actually, that sword is incredibly easy to control. The balance is surprisingly nimble.
