right and wrong. Flamberg is renaissance weapon but was not a common weapon on the battlefield. It was more used as parade weapon.

I've read though that the flamey shape has certain advantages in the battle, penetres armor easier or something.

If the advantage in blade design was notable, at least the succeeding cutting weapons would have used it...but they haven't (except for a couple of fancy rapiers). A blade hacks or – even better and often inevitable – cuts through softer material. What benefit would it be to reduce the parts which do the damage? Plus, the whole element of fencing from the bind of the blades would be complicated. It's a piece of fashion, hardly more. And AFAIK they didn't make up the majority of these overlong twohanded swords, to return to the topic.DarkShogun417 said:However, this is just one source and I'm no expert at judging whether they are reliable or not.
That would have been an awesome screenshot if the HUD was not there, i love how the banners of both the parties are facing each other .kuauik said:
