BlazingGale's Non HF Related Creations - BlazingGale - 14-08-2018
This is where I'll post my non HF related creations. I do warn you though, due to most of these things being recent, most of them are very big in size so loading these pictures will probably take a long amount of time.
Btw the reason I am posting these is because this place is bloody dead, and that because I recently got the Artist award so I figured why not.

I like the rain-guard of the first sword. The second sword's grip reminds me of a kitchen's knife...

Yes that is the thing about Messers. Messers and Falchions are both very similair, the difference between them is in the handle. Flachions have more arming sword like handles, with a symmetric grip and a round pommel. Messers have kitchen knife like handles. It was a way for the Germans (who originally made the Messers) to get away with carrying weapons in public.
Here's a link for a picture that you can look at to see the difference between them (and all the other falchions/messers):

I did not know about those sword types. Thank you for clarifying!
Do you happen to have a source of information about the Germans carrying messers in public?

If you look at this in the first part, the second paragraph says it was carried in public by civilians for self defense.

"Loading will take time" hah, loaded as soon as I clicked it.
Those are some nice swords though.
