QUOTE(Decrepit @ May 25 2017, 08:54 AM)  Damn how did Khajiit miss seeing this?! This one is a fan of the show, the sword fights are well done when they have them. -------------------- "Family is an odd thing, is it not? Defined by blood, separated by blood, joined by blood.

An interesting thing I noticed in the warehouse fight scene in Wonder Woman is that at one point she morte strikes with her sword. You can see it at 1:08.

How does that work with her sword? It's supposed to be sharp enough to cut Superman, so wouldn't she do herself a serious injury? At any rate, it looks cool as HECK.

The sword she has in her eponymous movie is not the same one she uses in BvS. And I don't think it is the same one as from the comics. When you see the movie, you will see what I mean. Otherwise, I don't want to give away any spoilers. But in any case it would be the same as with a real sword I suppose. There is a way you can grip a double-edged blade with bare hands without cutting yourself. Skallgrim has a video showing how. Here it is -------------------- |

I saw a cool video about the sword the other day, if I can find it again I'll drop it in here. EDIT: Ah, here we are.

Khajiit is reminded of Sophitia and Cassandra from the Soul Calibur series when he sees all of this. Also, Mira Cervantii!!

I do not see how you could wield that with one hand, so I would have to go with greatsword just on that.

A History of Modern Jousting, with Tobias Capwell. Be aware that the video begins to repeat itself somewhere around the twenty minute mark and doesn't resume new footage until about minute 37. (The repeat material is obviously easy to skip.) Lots of interesting info on rediscovering proper gear and technique.

Yes, I have thought of that. But it won't be a home defense weapon for realz (unless I'm desperate) but rather a collector's piece. Plus, I wanna be able to say I have a katana....

This particular one is advertised as being as close to the original as it can get, and that's why I want it
