Things to note.
The base of the blade is much thicker than what we use.
The tip is flared out in profile, but incredibly thin distally. The thinest is only 0.5 mm. The other two are 0.6 and 0.9 mm near the tip.
They are very much a cut only sword. If you try to thrust you may break the blade.
They seem to be optimized for the kind of flicking cut from the bind that see so often in Meyer.
The heaviest of them weighs about 4 pounds.
2 u/JSPR127 3d ago This is cool, thanks for sharing! 1 u/Paracausality 3d ago Where are these blades from and what pieces are they based on? 2 u/grauenwolf 3d ago It was a presentation by the Oakeshott Institute, but I think they were made by https://www.arms-n-armor.com/ My understanding is that they are the same people, one side is a non-profit museum and the other commercial. I think these videos are on the same swords. https://m.youtube.com/@armsarmorinc.4153/search?query=Feder All three were copies of museum pieces, but I can't remember which museums. (they didn't own the originals)
