They are twoohanded clubs.
Simple to make/use , very durable and very effective.

They arn't that difficult to use but are best kept in the hands of stronger men.

>They arn't that difficult to use

Seems to me that a relatively large and heavy weapon like that would be more punishing for mistakes, and demand more of your distance and timing management, compared at least to a lighter weapon of similar reach.

>>54478070
I would say huge majority of two handed weapons were either for armoured use so you can afford a few mistakes here and there, or for crowd control where your main objective isn't really hitting the other motherfucker but to keep everyone away from you but in a place of your choosing while your friends can shank them

>shank
if you want to get technical, you can only shank someone with an improvised weapon.
"do you want me to shank him with my shiv?"
"I was just shanked with a screwdriver."

it is improper to 'shank' someone with say, a dagger because it is not improvised...

>eating dagger
still a stabbing, unless it is a butter-knife
fun fact, this is the origin of the butter knife. it's so guests don't have to use personal knives to eat with at parties, it's less threatening and no-good for stabbing

>with the broken shaft
this would be a shanking, as the shaft is not originally meant for the stabby stabby.

I didn't know the swedes used Yathagan like machetes, from where did they get that? Too modern to be a scramax evolution too far to be Turkish. The russians?

>>54478464

The strike-plate (or frizzen) is angled forward and the pan cover lifts from a different point and locks differently in relation to movement of the hammer - the downside is that it's more susceptible to misfirings and prematurely going off, and the strike plate and spring are more ornate and complicated to make.

It's something that pops up on a number Swedish of swords from the 1840s to the 1870s, as far as I can tell all designed by the artillery officer Johan August Hafström (1810-1880).

I've done some light digging around to see if anyone had an idea where he got the idea from, but not word so far. Yataghan, kukri, falcata, or perhaps even a leafblade split in half down the middle. Of the rare few non-Swedish blades in the region leaning this way I've seen (one German, maybe something more, damn rare overall it seems), I've yet to see any pre-dating the first Hafström blades, so it doesn't seem like we got it from any neighbour, this was an idea Hafström hatched somewhat on his own (with whatever muse he may have had).

Perhaps he got his hands in a yathagan style bayonet (pretty hansome tools too slender for the machete like one, but not unlike the sabre one), if I recall well they were pretty popular after a few years of the Nappy era. It sounds right in the alley of enginiers/artillery too, I think Spain still use Yathagan/falcata like knife for the engies.

That'd be one of the mroe accessible sources of inspiration, yes. We even sued them in Sweden IIRC. But I'm not sure if I feel the blade shape really suggests that, as the bayonets are more about the entire blade meandering around instead of just the edge doing that.
