#SWORDS

[archerinventive]

While prep work continues for the upcoming faire season, I came across a few location test shots of Rae I before a long weekend of festivities last year.

That golden hour never gets old.

I can't wait to swing steel again soon. ^^

Wishing you all a great weekend.

Something that I read has been haunting me for a while. It pointed out that swords are effectively useless against an opponent with heavy armour and/or chainmaille, if you want to kill a knight you need something like a spiked hammer or a mace.

And that makes knights who primarily wields swords, peasant killers.

And now when I come across “brave” knights in movies or fiction brandishing swords, that is all I can think off.

It is kind of weird how heavy weapons have the reputation of being brutish and unsophisticated. When it’s actually the other way around.

Beautiful and deadly, a nearly 400 year-old sword of a high-ranking samurai with its dragon-entwined engraving symbolizes the authority and grandeur of the warrior class. [X]
