      I believe it’s due to the design of the tulwar. The disk pommel makes you use the sword in a way that favours a drawing cut or slice because it makes it uncomfortable to go for chops by digging into your wrists. Doug is probably not trained to use the tulwar as it was intended to be used so going for the head would have been uncomfortable for him

    • @davidpavlovic4612
      @davidpavlovic4612 4 года назад +15

      Karl Dönitz It’s to force the user to cut a certain way. With a European Saber you hold it in a handshake grip and can rotate your wrist, flicking the sword outward to hack into the target. With the tulwar you’re locked into a hammer grip that keeps the sword at a 90 degree angle to your wrist. You can see this as they do the tests. Where the European sword movement is like cutting with an axe, the tulwar is like slicing a tomato, drawing the blade across the surface. Why the Indians preferred this type of cut I do not know. Maybe it has to due with the length of the wound as chopping will go deeper but a slice will make a longer cut. A downside to this type of cut is lack of range as compared to other ways of cutting. Scholagldiatoria has great videos on the subject if you are interested.

Its slander with small hilt just enough room for one hand swing. Without exerting much energy head and limbs will be severed.

    If factors like how the handle feels will be factored into the final decision then the Smith's should be given appropriate parameters and one judge with a consistent hand size should do the testing. The talwar is an example of a blade where the size and fit of the handle is crutial for using it properly. One person's too small is another person's too big.

    • @Elrohof
      @Elrohof 4 года назад +7

      It seldom comes down to those particular details. More often the judges prioritize the weight and strength of the weapon. Lighter weapons always win over heavy weapons (as long as its role as a weapon isn't challenged by a lack of weight) and stronger weapons always win over weaker ones.
      The problem is that in testing the weapon, it is swung by two or more people with drastically different hand sizes, so even if the handle construction is crucial to overall function of the weapon, it's still two or more people who has to swing the weapon properly. Custom made weapons made on commission for a single buyer should of course be custom fit, but most of these weapons are army weapons, made to be somewhat mass produceable, a regular soldier would likely never be able to get a great custom fit back in the day.
      If you make a sword that's much lighter and/or stronger than your opponent's you'll never lose anyway. Sure, if your handle construction seriously does not work well for either wielder then you've messed up as the smith, because you likely never molded the weapon to fit even just yourself in that case.

      The market is for knives, therefore swords would only be created if a smith was experimenting or living in a region where there is a high enough demand. Most people who want hand forged steel are not looking for as much as a sword with as little utility. Plainly, even if a smith has the skill and experience to produce a sword, they may not have the incentive to.

    *If you want to see a video on how to NOT cut with a tulwar watch this video.* The tulwar was designed for long drawing cuts using the back muscles with the wrist locked to the forearm, You do not want your wrist to move at all when cutting which is the reason for the large circular pommel end. This is a very different cutting style than used with European sabers.
    The British have many first hand accounts during colonial India of tulwar doing devastating cuts, removing limbs, and cutting through entire torsos. However if you just smack something with the tip like the did in this video it's going to be very underwhelming. You have to draw the length of the blade in proper form. If you do, it's arguably one of the best cutting swords in the world.

    Historically Talwars used to be in the w8 range of 15 to 25 kg. Now imagine a deadly stroke. King Maharana Pratap chopped a horseman along with horse into two with single stroke. His single sword used to weigh 25 kg.

    None of the talwars forged are battle usable. Though there are many designes of talwars across India but one basic design is battle tested design. That design is so agile & sharp that cutting an animal would be like cutting a chunk of butter.
    The recent incident of using a talwar is from Punjab. A violent man used his talwar & chopped off a hand of a police constable when he stopped the man from forcefully entering a market during lockdown. If you see the video, you will get to know what a talwar can do...
    BTW, the police constable is alive & his cut off limbs were placed as it was & he is recovering...

    • @jackalshine1369
      @jackalshine1369 4 года назад +3

      Exactly, ancient genuine talwar comes with short hilt but enough to severe limbs. Not these long hilt swords.
      Furthermore, genuine battle tested swords and design are nothing compared with parade sword we usually seen in Museum. Less ornament and more deathly edge.

    The handle should be short enough so your hand barely fits between the guard and the pummel. It is supposed to be so to restrict any wrist movement when using the tulwar.
