Vindication x 2
Matt Easton of Schola Gladiatoria knows far more about fighting with period weapons than I ever will, so it's nice to see him confirming things I wrote on Tumblr long before he did it on YouTube.
Here's one of his most recent videos:
And here's me on the same subject 3 months, 1 year, 8 years and 10 years ago.
In this video he also mentions the impressive-looking "sword breaker" dagger, a repro of which featured in another recent YouTube, and says,
"...in the video with Todd we looked at a specific type of left-hand dagger called or sometimes referred to as a sword breaker probably more correctly described as a sword catcher..."
And here's me on THAT subject, in the 3-month post above, as well as these from 2 years and 8 years ago.
Exit stage left, humming a happy tune... :->
