The two-handed LARP mace you see in this video is a longer version of Calimacil's Odo II: https://calimacil.com/collections/larp-maces/products/odo-2-larp-mace?variant=7577653149747 Testing a polehammer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=It5EIRZ7jOE Other videos like this: Yes, Giant Swords Existed, BUT... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAcCJM3Lupk Military Flails Didn't Exist? - Lets Take a Closer Look! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PHASxS8Voc Yes, Gunblades Are Real, BUT... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRXj4o_fZHc *** Sources *** https://www.new-guinea-tribal-arts.com/vanuatu-war-clubs/ Ceremonial(?) mace from North India, 17thC: https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/30856 Over 4000 year old spherical mace from Cyprus: https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/33836 Roughly 2000 year old copper mace from Egypt: https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/551079 Spiked mace with partisan-like blade: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Mus%C3%A9e_du_Ch%C3%A2teau_de_Foix_22.jpg https://manuscriptminiatures.com/5715/21390 https://manuscriptminiatures.com/4415/8786 https://manuscriptminiatures.com/4741/13620 https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Fomfr_morning_star.jpg https://manuscriptminiatures.com/4294/9682 https://manuscriptminiatures.com/4927/14702 https://www.invaluable.com/auction-lot/a-19th-century-indo-persian-spiked-mace-609-c-dc742108e6 https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bro%C5%84_drzewcowa.jpg *** Music credits *** Outro: "Highland Storm" by The Slanted Room Records https://theslantedroom.github.io/steve.yee/ Used with artist's permission *** Merch *** https://www.bonfire.com/store/skallswag/ If you want to join Bonfire to start selling your own merch: https://www.bonfire.com/welcome/07bb14169c804/ *** Support the channel *** Help fund future videos, get bonus content and access to an exclusive Discord server: https://www.patreon.com/skallagrim https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3WIohkLkH4GFoMrrWVZZFA/join Other ways to support the channel by shopping through affiliate links: Kult of Athena, my favorite online store for reproductions of historical arms and armor, fantasy swords, etc: https://www.kultofathena.com/ Where to get HEMA gear and practice swords: http://www.woodenswords.com/?Click=1799 Want to treat your face fluff?
