This weapon is basically a Zweihander with the blade of a Flamberge. Most Zweihanders I've seen have a straight cut blade. While the Flamberge I've seen had a wavy, serrated looking pattern like these weapons here did. Either way, gorgeous weapons! I can't wait to own one. Superb job fellas. You're swords will definitely keal!!

There is another German name for this type of sword: Gassenhauer. Gassenhauer basically means more or less "alley carver", a soldier with a Bihander/Zweihänder/Flamberge/greatsword carves through the enemy lines like he would cut through a rainforest with a machete. A Gassenhauer is also a popular song that makes everyone sit in front of his/her radio at home and listen to it all day and all night.

They both did very well. At first I thought that Stephen's blade would win, because even though a heavy blade is good for impact, everthing hinted that Jay made his blade too heavy. Then the strength test happened and it gave the impression that Stephen's blade was a bit too light... in addition to the handle cracking. I'm convinced that it was a draw up to the strength test and Stephen would've ended up winning if the strength test went better, due to Jay's blade being very heavy and Stephen's being just right for being handled easy while still striking good. Also, next time infuse them with Chaos!

There was a Frisian Pirate that weilded a 6.6 kg (15 lbs) Zweihänder, and it was 213 cm (84 in). His name was Pier Gerlofs Donia, and he was known for his superhuman strength.

They had multiple swords for various purposes, the big and heavy ones were used for binding pikes in battles and for duels or bodyguard work there were smaller ones (up to your chin instead of full height) with a blade that grew thinner up to the tip to further reduce weight. The extra kilogram of weight doesn't seem like it but it's a massive difference if you have to constantly swing it.
