Just practicing isn’t enough, you also have to run diagnostics every now and then, so to speak. Recently I took some time to check my cutting mechanics on soaked tatami mats.
Of course there are always things to work on, and in this case it’s my Zwerchhau (thwarting cut/hew) in particular that still has sketchy edge alignment. This strike is one of the Master Cuts in the German longsword tradition, as shown in the Medieval and Renaissance manuals. A very effective counter technique when done right.

It makes me feel very confident to start practicing real cuts, hearing skall review himself with so much prejudice.
If you don't nail the thwart cut, the cut thwarts you
Hmmm… interesting razor, but does it…
R E F I N E T H E G E N T L E M A N?
can you make tatami mats out of cardboard rolls?
Heh, I didn't even think that I'm in a minority here.
Question re: the zwerchau (and false edge cuts generally): Do you think they are intended to open the opponent up for a more direct blow or to do serious harm themselves? I ask because I tried a false edge cut the other day — the Zwerchau? Cut the bottle but not cleanly, several times. Tried it on rolled newspaper… not much of a cut. This leads to a question: Were cuts like this intended to be lethal or just a strike to open the opponent up (pun intended) to a follow up? Like, zwerchua to the head, ouch, that hurt, he's bleeding, but not incapacitated, just distracted, then cut him with something else? I never thought about this before, but…. is it feasible to deliver a zwerchau quick enough to land it in combat that has sufficient force behind it for more than a tip cut or harassing wound?
I ask because often any strike with a practice sword is treated as if it would wound, but if I cut with a sharp, unless I'm very deliberate, I can't generate the power to cut. And in a real fight you wouldn't have the time to be deliberate or if you did the opponent would see it coming.
make a video about beards
I'm part of the 5% left then… XD Even tho having a beard of your glory is kind of dream of mine.
Where do you buy the cutting mats?
I just have someone throw a pommel at my beard. Ends it rightly
Leave it to Skall to get blades involved in even his monetization strategy
I am the 5%! So where do you buy your matts?
Your cutting face makes you look like an angry garden gnome XD
Too bad I use a straight edge.
Noice. Just a quick question, what happens with all the bits of sliced up mats? Do they compost down? Recycled ??
Jelly tests with the Patron Razor when?
just shave with swords dude it works i mean you did it at one point so keep doin it my guuuuuy
Us girls have things we need to shave too😂😂😂
what is a twart ? and what do you think Zwerch means because it's a old wold that doesn't exist anymore in german.
What's the steel gauge is on that razor blade bad boy? Did you put that razor blade through your usual blade review?
That sounds like patreon with extra steps
Nice cuts
"Easier to shave with than a sword"
Best marketing slogan
I live on the edge. I shave with the pommel
I thought you shaved with a machete!
Pretty sure most (adult) women use razors too, to be fair. Not that you need razors of the same quality if you aren't shaving your face, since skin on the rest of the body is much less sensitive.
t. man who shaves his legs
0:30 well I’m a kid so why am I even here
Thwarts, Warts and All – Thanks
Heck yes! I have a Brighton! That sucker is like a laser beam. It's maybe a bit undersized to fit any sort of historic role but it's a very satisfying sword to cut with.I personally had to work on the edge quite a bit to get it the way I like it though.
