“This weapon is absolutely brutal and easy to use; it slid right into the head” heartwarming, uplifting music begins
-
This man's hair completes this channel.
-
Iove how enthusiastic Jason is about trying the warhammer early in the video, but afterwards is totally cognisant of how horrible it really is. Studying the history of weapons is intriguing, but it's important not to lose sight of the fact that killing is an ugly business. Props to Jason.

I feel like I'm watching an official documentary that should be on the history channel its that good
-
The bollock knife was designed to maximize thrust action
-
"A biscuity break" is the best British description I've ever heard... Thanks for making my day!
-
"Well, that was a hell of a fight. Is he alive?" "Nah mate, he's bollocksed."
-
Describes the brutality of a weapon and how it makes him uncomfortable Post production team: "yeah let's add some happy guitar music"
-
3:15 A chance for Denethor, Steward of Gondor, to show his quality.
-
All i learned is i need longer hair when i ride into battle to be more badass.

Imagine spending your existence training for a fight and then getting smacked on the top of your head by some peasant who spent his life’s savings on what is essentially the medieval equivalent of an anti-tank weapon
-
And you actually went on horseback, for real. Bad. Ass! Subbed
-
Most underrated channel on YouTube, great content
-
1 minute in 'this is a replica of a bollocks knife.' I'm sold. Another wonderful find of a channel on YouTube. What a time to be alive.

I would have to say that this is the first time I've ever heard someone who demonstrates blunt or bladed weaponry on jelly human targets, as it being an emotionally scary experience. Everyone just plows away at these human stand ins with very little emotion. We should have an emotional response to the act and thought of dismembering a living thing. Just pointing out an uncommon human trait that shouldn't be dismissed👍

I feel like this guy has been reincarnated and used to be an actual badass knight
-
I've read Miamoto Musashi's book once. And I remember that he had a nice point. He wrote that a warrior is simply a crafrsman that is trained in the art of war. And as for an exaple carpenter has his own tools, the weapons are the tools of a warrior. And as in evry other profession there are different tools for different kinds of work.

So good to someone using medieval weapons properly .
-
Thanks for this videos Jason, its beautiful to watch someone talk about history the way you do it, with passion, respect and an outstanding set up. I hope we will see more videos soon, it was a pleasure to find this channel

That's insane, such a good illustration of the polax. The fact that you could hit with the site for knocking someone out, that's impressive. That people might be so skilled and deliberate also knowing exactly what they wanted to do. Also the overall functionality of the weapon I find so fascinating: It's not about what looks good or what is 'the biggest' but what actually works.
