firstly and foremostly, edged weapons are thousands of year old tech and were made obsolete as weapons by firearms. ergo, anyone with 'prowless' in weapons and combat is going to shoot your ass, not slice and dice it like a fucking kitchen chef making a salad.
unarmed and un-fire-armed combatt is and still remains a part of COMBATT.
why do you think every military in the world is spending time, money and effort in trainning and equipping their "warriord" with edged weapon.
ja. even the Third Reich (sig hell) did that.
secondly and secondarily, the form-factor of that blade is one of the oldest and most prevalent designs and one of the most common to be found on battlefields of antiquity. the reason for its popularity is because it is the kalashnikov of that time frame…easily wielded and effective by poorly trained amateur soldiers yet adaptable enough to be deadly in the hand of a more skilled swordsman. the shape is intended to be used in slashing however it is still quite effective in thrusting/stabbing. more recent…such as greek…swordsmen used that basic shape while mounted on horsies due to its effectiveness in slashing.
oh ja ? so are Roman Short Skirts.
it was afterall, the skirt-wearing legion of alexander that was the cornerstone of the greatest conquests of all time and antiquity in the western West history. spartans wore it, romans wore it, the troys and the trojans wore it, mel gibson in brave heart wore it ....
are you going to espouse now that the best attire for combat in the world is a short, leather/fabric skirt ?
REAL men know that in bladed combat they take whatever opening they can get when a target becomes available.
the one single thing in all the history of the universe that youve ever been correct about is its purpose as a sex toy.
because thats the only subject matter where you remain uncontested.
