Svord peasant knife, niiice haha. Svord makes awesome stuff

Nice video. But you sould call your sword a Katzbalger, thats what it is.

Excellent pieces!!

Not always, it really depending on the Campaign. During the Italian wars there where many Doppel. Have fun and if you are every in the California area you may see me as I do many of the faires and festivals here.

Thank you for a great, informative presentation. Do you know of any landsknect units in New Jersey?

Hey man, I am currently in the process of starting a landsknecht kit, your video is very informative Can I ask, where would you keep the crosses? Just hung around your neck on the chain? On a belt? In a bag?

Way better than what I have and much more accurate than what I have on. But I would like to think of mine being loosely based to the Landsknecht of the 1480s-1510 with a more Gothic style of armor. I never herd that pronunciation of the Landsknecht that you say. I herd many people in Historical European martial arts (HEMA) say: For short Full name A. "Land*stein" & "Land*stein*et" or B. "Land*skine" & Land*skine*net" or C. "Land*shtine/Land*Shtin" & "Land*Shtin*et" Those are the pronunciations I been hearing by many, many people in Historical European martial arts (HEMA). We manly say it the short way, but sometimes when tehy di say it by the full name the ways I showed above on the right side after the &. I think it depends of the unit of the Landsknecht as well as the man as some have more armor than others. European armor is very mobile. api.ning.com/files/Ls-i7jJXgRAQ-uTShBVAjbjXtmMRMCkeKhkv9m74OI*AAGRy-00Y2jEfD23mF510DmD*1pJRy39V7j2Wy06zHjPw3jjSsCHm/DSCF0906.JPG?width=450&height=600 & www.art-verwandte.de/ceri/Album_03/bilder/_DSC2498.jpg Also does the Landsknecht of the mid or late 1500s had more armor? (the black armor that we see) www.mac-armour.cz/obrazky/fotky/trab3.JPG?width=550

Great man! :)

thanks for watching

thanks although unsurprisingly these dopplesoldners as i call them were pretty rare only making a small % of the formation.

@gunnwild1 they are a blast. i need to pull out the cannons when we go to the desert.

Is that ring-hilt sword in the background also from lutel? Could you maybe write about it a little?

very interesting to see, personally i am intnding to EVENTUALLY getinto the landsknecht but more as a front linesman, wielding the dreaded zweihander as opposed to being a simple rank and file pikeman. (you probably know all this), but for the other commenters, it was huge, one example in the graz armoury in austria is catalogued as 190cm, but most were about 175 or so, and about 3.5kg in weight in that role id have abit more armour 3/4-1/2 plate with a helm i.e burgonet wouldnt i?

Interesting gear brother. Where is Excaliber? LOL I would love to see in person a reenactment of a battle, I bet it would be fun.

HAha, that razor is a kiwi, nice.

On the research part, where is a good place to start? Also who made your to Katzbalgers, didn't quite catch it

@Teleoceras thanks, can you find the mistakes in my kit?

Were did you get the nice bag?

"Landskneckt" :D I'ts LandskneCHt. Amazing gear, though. Just look up the german pronounciation to make it even more authentic. 😂👍

but currently im still getting my feet into reenacting as a varangian guardsman of the 10th century byzantines.

i would've thought a man would carry more silver than gold.

Loved the video! Was curious if you have any historical sources on the use of precious metal chains as currency?

thanks...

@Teleoceras i have the apostles (several sets) but not for my chater as a captan i do not cary them i command 100 gun and 40 cannon .

@PompeusMagnus thanks for that....

sorry just saw this comment. Yes if you are a double paid solder you would have 1/2 plate and an open faced helmet

Where are you based in?
