Good stuff. Most HEMAists aren't as concise and straightforward as this, and really let their personal preference interfere.
Thanks mate!
I feel like... You grip it depending on how you use it at a given moment and that's true for all weapons. It really isn't hard to go from grip to grip on either of those. The hammer fist Sabre can easily be wielded with a thumb up grip. Obviously it would be easier to wield the later ones in a thumb up but I don't think it makes a HUGE huge difference unless the blade profile and balance is way different.
I disagree. We tend to say "usually handshake, but parrying with a hammer grip gives more structure, and some techniques require a thumb on the flat."
Nice victorian mustache to match the atmosphere.
Bro was there when those sabers got released
Polish sabres in the XVIIc. There was a fencing, parade, shorter sabre called Karabela and you gripped it with thumb towards the blade, there was an indentation for a thumb there. Hussars battle sabre, was longer and had a ring for a thumb so you could grip it more securely and swing it with more force.
When you do this you look like a badass
Man this channel is gonna be a favorite. Sabres are my favorite but they don't like the educational platform like longswords and such this is fire
Glad to hear it, welcome!
Love this, it's something that I never really considered but is immediately obvious once you pointed it out.
dude looks like the guy who use the small flute when Trench Charging
Nobody has ever said that about me but I'll keep it in mind for sure! ☝️
Euphemisms?
Cheers mate I’ll take this into account when I’m using a Victorian sabre to cut my sandwich
Very wise, the Earl of Sandwich approves.
@@historyandsabre 👍🏽👍🏽
Love saber content not enough of it
Lol i just scrolled from a guy screaming "what the fk is a kilometer" while firing a ak47 to this guy calmly explaining how to hold a sword youtube shorts is great
Nice mustache
Thank you! :)
Oh my bad I tried to hold it with two hand backwards
That must have been awkward, glad I could show you the way!
I’m pretty sure I have the 2nd one
Who makes those gloves? And do you know if they come in white or buff?
Any explanation involving performance? 🥺
What do you mean?
@@historyandsabreIf they are only different or if each one is better at something 🙏🏻
Learn to grip change each grip has a use learn to change and use all 3
Wow. Where can I get a 19th century saber like that? That is such a beautiful sword, I’ve seen American swords look much worse than that
Look at online small ads marketplaces, Facebook groups about antique swords, and other collectors. Auctions and antiques dealers are also an option but those are the most expensive sources.
Thank you! I’ll be on the lookout for one
Would the Thump up grip be good enough during the heavy clash of the Sabers 🤔
Good question. The thumb up grip is great for directing the point and manouvering the sabre but depending on the weight of the sabre and the situation you can and will of course alternate between the options. Any parry will be safer with a more enclosing grip!
@@historyandsabre
Thanks for explaining that bro 😇🙏
Sure! ✌️
I had a feeling i was doing something wrong
Hope this improves my handling of my sabre cheers mate
Keep in mind that this is a very basic breakdown of how historical manuals teach it. You can use all variants and everything in between with different swords if it feels right and fits the situation!
People that thought of sabre norris straight away 😂😂😂😂
Epic mustache
In a fight for your Life the grip don't care ... 😏
I'd rather know what I'm doing before it ever came to that, which it doesn't anyway these days :)
What's that semi circular thing on the back i thought it was just mine
You mean on the side of the handle?
@@historyandsabrebehind the blade
how should 850g Huttons military saber be gripped? Or kvetun's Easton saber?
I try finger grip sometimes, but only can hold it for a few exchanges, and blocking makes my thumb hurt a lot by vibration, even if thumb doesnt touch ball guard.
What I'm showing here is are the textbook starting points.
It is totally normal to shift and change your grip depending on the situation. With heavy swords it will often be more of a handshake grip, particularly when parrying.
Hello does anyone know a good military (sword) sabre manufacturer? Functional weapons that can be really be battle used. Thanks in advance.
what about earlier period sabres???
What about them?
@@historyandsabre Sorry you were just talking about the 18-19th century sabres and how to hold them but are those grips can be used on a 16th century hungarian hussar sabre or let's say an 11-12 century sabre?
The hammer fist and handshake grip work on pretty much all one handed cut & thrust swords!
No Pistol Grips?
We see that in some cavalry material and in depictions but not for fencing on foot.
@@historyandsabre So does the Pistol Grip lead to a disadvantage on foot because the wielder of this sabre is no longer on a high plane then their opponent?
@@JohnnyGoble-oi8ie To be clear, there is no physical "pistol grip" on the sword itself until modern foil and épée fencing comes along.
We do see canted handles on infantry and cavalry sabres to counter a very strong curve of the blade as well as some examples of canted grips on straight cavalry swords aiding the user in thrusting from horseback.
To come back to your question, actually *holding* the sabre in a loose pistol grip by slipping the hand back on the handle and pointing the blade forward is not a secure way to perform your standard cuts and parries because you don't have sufficient command of your sword. Hope that helps.
