When toxic masculinity ruled the world…
From Empa Froga III,
BADASS
The ZWEIHÄNDER SWORD that belonged to GRUTTE PIER (1480-1520), FRIESIAN PIRATE AND WARLORD.
From the link,
Now would be a good time to point out that Pier was seven feet tall, carried a six-foot-long greatsword that weighed approximately fifteen pounds, was so strong that he could bend a coin between his thumb and his forefinger, and was such a fucking maniac berserker in combat that he allegedly once decapitated seven enemy soldiers with one swing of his weapon.
The White Aryan quotient of this post should hit DEFCON WAN.
America needs less intersectionality safe space and more zweihänder.
Froga adds,
How many men in this age can use a weapon half the size of that sword?
How many men in this age can use their micropuds without crying in shame?
Read the bio of the guy. He was a quiet farmer until Saxons killed his two kids and his wife, then he turned into a berserker and the blood flowed under his feet.
Today, we have American “men”, whose daughters and wives were killed by illegal immigrants, going on social media to mewl that not all immigrants are like that.
The fall from grace has been, in a word, precipitous.
Pier is like the Western Genghis Khan. 100% Viking badass.

+1 for the Jesse Ventura Predator reference:
That said, learning how to wield a sword/edged weapon skillfully (whether it be a large broadsword or a thinner rapier or something like a tomahawk or a machete) is likely a skill that will be in demand come the collapse.
Shooting is of course a paramount skill to learn too, but if/when ammo runs low or some crazed antifa try a bum’s rush when your ammo is out, being able to use a blade in self-defense will be more important than most imagine.
If Jack Churchill was able to kill a Nazi in WW2 with a sword, with all those bullets flying about, and the U.S. military still buying bayonets for every rifle to this day, I think edged-weapon use is underthought those of us on the red pill.

Well, with every other human being in Italy pissing their togas at the mere mention of Hannibal’s name, there was only one Roman asskicker who decided he wasn’t just going to sit around on his chaise longue being fed grapes by beautiful women while some bastard-coated bastard with bastard filling ran around dropping his countrymen crotch-first onto an electric fruit-juicing machine. Publius Cornelius Scipio had been there from the beginning of this ungodly carnage—as a sixteen-year-old cavalry officer he’d fought alongside his father at the Battle of Ticinus and had been cited for bravery for slicing his way through a Carthaginian horde to save his dad’s life. Scipio had also been there on the battlefield when the Roman legions got their teeth kicked out through their urethras at Cannae, and as one of the few survivors of that humiliating debacle this Roman officer became more and more irate every miserable day that passed in which Hannibal wasn’t getting a much-deserved boot to the hogchoker. Finally, one day Scipio snapped. He got up, stormed into the Senate, and told them it was time for vengeance—someone needed to stick it to Hannibal, and Scipio was the man who was going to bring the pain.”””
LikeLike
Despite all the pain Carthage had inflicted on his people, Scipio spared the city-state from the ultimate drunk-shaming humiliation that most Romans felt it deserved, refusing to burn the city or wipe out the populace no matter how bad the Senate wanted him to. He returned home in heroic triumph, received the honorific title of “Africanus” (which basically means “He who kicked ass in Africa”), was elected consul like a dozen times, and is still remembered today as one of Rome’s greatest heroes and one of the most badass military commanders to ever live.
Of course, as a side note, Scipio’s adoptive grandson wouldn’t be as laid back toward the Carthaginians—a few years later the Carthaginians would get all uppity again, and Scipio’s grandkid (also known as Scipio Africanus) would stomp their balls in the Third Punic War, sack Carthage, sell its entire population into slavery, burn everything to the ground, urinate on the ashes, and salt the earth so that no crops could ever grow there again. And that, as you can probably imagine, was the end of that.””””

How many men in this age can use a weapon half the size of that sword?
Had a new neighbor saw me out back practicing with my katana. He brought over his claymore to ask me what I thought. Claymore is about 5; overall, 4′ of blade. Whole different ballgame. That said, would choose to carry claymore for small incursions during a zombie apocalypse; would keep katana on hip just in case things get dicey.
Unfortunately, the world grew up and “men” would never have to (in theory) even carry such a weapon when firearms, chemical weapons, explosives, and nukes exist. Better off carrying a brace of tomahawks and become proficient fighting with them; in a pinch, they make a better tool than a sword.Greta for hand-to-hand combat, and with enough practice can be buried into an oak from 25 yards out. Zombie down!
Like all other disciplines, there is value in pursuing this even if you never have to use it.

Greatswords are overstated. Most of their use was intimidation. That is, they were handy at taking down heavy warhorses. But such horses were expensive to breed, raise, train and feed. The knight too. So the presence of greatswords in the field had the effect of anti-tank weapons in the field in our modern wars. It requires more ground support, logistics, and a larger group. Without the greatswords you can use heavy horse to run down the enemy lines. But you don’t want to lose horses doing that. So you have to send in the Irish first. So to speak.

Swords are intimidating though. People would rather take a bullet than lose an arm. BTW, I strongly recommend a Sieger Ruby Scinter sharpening rod for that katana of yours. I don’t know the steel used but it should at least 1060. 1095, T-10 and 9260. 9260 is the best in my opinion. The Sieger rods cost about $60 but are worth every penny. They will sharpen the blade to razor sharpness and won’t mar the finish as a ceramic rod will. Far better than a ceramic rod as well. My katanas can shave facial hair.

Good analysis. Most of the intimidation factor of the sword in the modern age is that very few people have ever trained with them. And half of those people can be found outside the latest Star Wars premiere… meh
To elaborate on katana v claymore, the claymore was more of a striking weapon than a slashing weapon. The power came through the effort required to swing it properly than the speed of the attack itself.Could I do a 21 mat strike with a claymore? With enough practice and enough sharpening… sure. Could I pull it off cold? Probably not.
Which makes the zweihander even more impressive. Seven heads in a single swing? Given the right circumstances, sure. The average day soyboy would throw his back out in the upswing.

No doubt. A big sword like a Claymore takes a lot of practice to wield correctly and get the most use of its capabilities. Claymores are fearsome weapons. They have a lot of momentum and if you’re not careful can fly out of your hand. Cutting with a well balanced strike is also a high skill, all much more difficult with a big sword. Swords are really cool.

I believe that guy cut off 7 heads in one strike if he was 7 feet plus tall and he was probably built like a well honed athlete. A medieval Josie Wales! That was the purpose of those two hand swords – to cut holes in tight formations. He also probably used it with a team of swordsmen to prevent him from getting killed so he could get in close to swing it, which was the doctrine for using those big two handed swords. Using a Claymore would have been similar.

Tomahawks are another awesome weapon. You can throw them, hack or slash with them. Lots of good videos on practicing with one on Youtube. One I like has a log suspended from a big tree and you dodge and weave with it to learn agility and making strikes on the fly.

Peiper lived in France after the war and was killed by French Communists in 1973. They burned his house down. He was originally sentenced to death but the sentence was commuted and he was released after ten years.

Count Nikola IV Zrinski was born in Zrin, Croatia, in 1508, into a world where basically all of Eastern Europe was doing anything it could to try and stop the onslaught of the all-powerful Turkish Ottoman Empire from smashing the ass of Christendom into charcoal with a booted heel. Nikola and his kid brother Ivan were born to a pretty insanely-well-off noble family, but being that this was a war-torn border country they pretty much immediately had to get into the business of stomping around on horseback swinging a cavalry saber at a bunch of dudes who wanted to burn his house down and take all his land. ”””””’
“Let us go out from this burning place into the open and stand up to our enemies. Who dies, he will be with God. Who dies not, his name will be honored. I will go first, and what I do, you do as well. And God as my witness – I will never leave you, my brothers and knights!””””””””

We are now experiencing the result of an entire generation raised on prescription pharmaceuticals to modify their behavior. When the feminist movement couldn’t destroy masculinity in boys with relentless propaganda, they just destroyed it and them with drugs.

Forget that sword, or anything larger than a kitchen knife, how many ‘men’ in this day and age own, let alone know how to use, basic tools like hammers, pliers or socket sets? Don’t even get me started on their (lack of knowledge) about power tools. Sad. I tell young girls – never date a man that does not own, and know how to use, tools.

If what I’m reading is right, those swords aren’t even close to the weight of “real” swords… this Big Pete’s sword was said to be 15 lbs, and the video says the heaviest sword the fighters were using was around 4 lbs.
Big difference.
