These are the blades that cycle through my head on repeat. The keep me curious about their past and how they could also have a future. There is some sort of magic in the ring. The balance and comfort of a seemingly awkward grip is baffling. To make a perfectly fitting version, to my hand, would be a dream come true. Until then, that is my dream. . #celtibero #germanic #warknife #thepxsmith #joshaweston #history #dreams #shortsword #drawing #sketch #iberian #historicalknives .

My absolute favourite sword is definitly the Katzbalger, a trust short sword used by the 16th century landskneckh. Nothing fancy but the feeling of having a nimble and sturdy sword feels safe. I bet a real sharp one would cut nicely! Huuuuhuhu.
This particular model is the Cretzer by @calimacil_official Another wonderful foam sword that behave quite nicely as a safe sparring implement!
