    Beautiful arming sword. I think people generally dismiss arming swords as foolish toys but arming swords really are the perfect amalgamation of hundreds of years of western sword development. Even in the age of plate armor arming swords still had their place.

You can often times tell who will win and lose during the Kill test just by the difference in performance on the pig/ballistics dummy.

      The trick was that they were told what the tests would be, and they had to pick a sword they felt would be right for the tests.

In my opinion, it is a true test if smiths are directed to construct the same weapon as they did in older episodes of the show.

      @slopcrusher3482 4 года назад

      There are a lot of swords that have the similar blade shape of the Kopis, and when you hold one, you know why. The sword’s blade is really well balanced and carry’s a lot of weight behind it so you really don’t have to put all you’re force into the chopping action.
      It also tends to hit with the thickest part of the blade due to the weight distribution of the sword, it’s really effective energy wise.

    To be fair, the arming sword is an objectively better weapon. It's just as good at cutting (IMO better in the hands of someone who knows proper technique) and MUCH better at thrusting. The kopis originally dates back to 5 BCE. The arming sword as the smith made here is similar to 13-15th century weapons making it literally hundreds of years more advanced in design.
