My LEAST Favorite Swords of History

Video Description

I've talked about what I personally consider the height of sword evolution (https://youtu.be/uQSjO84HdPs) and my top 5 favorite swords (https://youtu.be/WOV1jPLnWYw) and. What about the opposite? Which does NOT mean the "objectively" worst designs by any means (I've speculated about that too: https://youtu.be/yFCdh0JurAk). This is based entirely on subjective preference. Although some of that preference is rooted in what I see as practical flaws. Before the katana haters among you get excited... nope, it ain't on the list. ;p *** Sources / Credits *** https://www.castlekeep.co.uk/ https://www.siameseedge.com/product/burmese-dha/ https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bronze_Age_Sword_900-700_BC_River_Thames.JPG https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Latenium-sword.jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Adana_Archaeological_Museum_Bronze_age_Sword_0297.jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bronze_Age_Europe_Swords_(28140554813).jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Indian_tulwar_sword.jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Deccan-bands-tulwar-1.jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Sword_(AM_696907-1).jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Sword_(AM_696907-2).jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Talwar-Morges_inv_1010607-P5120188-gradient.jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Sword_and_scabbard_(AM_696915).jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Detalj_v%C3%A4rjf%C3%A4ste_-_Livrustkammaren_-_22483.tif https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:French_artillery_short_sword.jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Smallsword_MET_DP-671-002.jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Kavaljersv%C3%A4rja_(f%C3%B6rfalskning)_-_Livrustkammaren_-_26458.tif https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bastardschwert_(rotation).jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Sword_(Dha)_with_Scabbard_MET_36.25.1437ab_002Jun2015.jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Kalaripayattu_DSC_1141.jpg Urumi tests https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZ0Nc2kHba4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIQoknWfVCY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLqieYcs7bk Deadliest warrior on the urumi (aara) https://deadliestwarrior.fandom.com/wiki/Aara *** Merch *** https://www.bonfire.com/store/skallswag/ If you want to join Bonfire to start selling your own merch: https://www.bonfire.com/welcome/07bb14169c804/ *** Support the channel *** Help fund future videos, get bonus content and access to an exclusive Discord server: http://www.patreon.com/skallagrim https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3WIohkLkH4GFoMrrWVZZFA/join Other ways to support the channel by shopping through affiliate links: Kult of Athena, my favorite online store for reproductions of historical arms and armor, fantasy swords, etc: https://www.kultofathena.com/?koa=259 Where to get HEMA gear and practice swords: http://www.woodenswords.com/?Click=1799 GamerSupps powdered energy drinks and other stuff (I particularly like the SUS snack bars): https://gamersupps.gg/Skall I highly recommend the balms and oils from Beard Sorcery: https://beardsorcery.com/?ref=0UEFtHWvZEmtD Books about history, martial arts, swords, knives, video/audio equipment, and other stuff I recommend: US - https://www.amazon.com/shop/skallagrimnilsson Canada - https://amzn.to/2HeOCMA *** Other social media *** https://bsky.app/profile/skallagrim.bsky.social https://www.facebook.com/SkallagrimYT https://www.instagram.com/skallagrim_yt/ #skallagrim #sword #history
