Have Blue posted:He's kinda interesting but he pulls most of his "history" from "my larp group does it this way so clearly that's how the ancients did it!" I have no idea who he is. But I'm tempted to side with The LARPers on principle, since it's the LARPers and reenacters who buried the whole "people NEVER parried with the edge of the sword!" nonsense that used to be such a big-time Hot Historical Weapon Fact. There was a lot of theorycrafting, cherrypicking from old manuals, and longwinded essays. Then people picked up swords and figured out that, no, they absolutely must have. Also swords work way better if you aren't absolutely terrified of hurting the edge and place "hurting the other person" and "not getting a sword through the gut or skull" higher on your list of priorities.
