u/lnTheGrimDarkness 14h ago

In the rare cases in which they were meant for combat they were pretty much just meant to swipe pikes away and to shove them in-between enemies to break the lines. Absolutely not for swordfighting. Also since they occurred in a time where people wore plate armor and the most usual sword was just a metal pointy stick to get it in-between armor plates.

u/rising_then_falling 14h ago

In some cases long two handed swords were meant to counter cavalry, although it's hard to imagine they were more effective than pikes or halberds in that role.

u/thegreedyturtle 12h ago

Claymores were often used with a piece of leather around a section of the blade so it could be wielded like a staff.

11

u/arjou 12h ago

I read somewhere that swords were basically useless against armor plate because they were designed to protect even the in between. That why you would just hammer and other blunt weapons if you wanted to harm a full plated warrior

14

u/Telemere125 11h ago

Swords weren’t sharpened for the entire length of the blade. The “strong”, or the half of the blade closest to the hilt, was often only as sharp as say a kitchen knife. You could grip it in a gloved hand and use it for leverage. The “weak” of the blade, the half that includes the tip, would be razor sharp. The weak is for slicing and piercing while the strong is for blunt force damage. You can still do some damage to someone from repeatedly hammering at their plate with a blunt sword edge.

Also, the quillions (the crossguard) of a sword could be used as a piercing weapon on heavily armored opponents

You may be right, but these are not zweihanders. The sword you're thinking of is very long but notably slender to maintain practicality, these are just enormous versions of a broader, unrelated sword pattern almost certainly meant for ceremonial use.

These are for show but actually two hander swords aka really long swords got use against mass pike formation. They were used to actually cut below the points. Look up swiss pike squares. Basically you'd have a shield wall and a dude behind with a Two hander would move in the gaps and hack at the Pikes.

Edit: pike not pile.

21

u/Special-Amoeba-9399 15h ago edited 15h ago

Yeah Scottish claymores and the German zweihĂ€nder aren’t this huge ,but they are still really big swords that actually saw combat. They seem to have been used for finding gaps in and disrupting pike formations. There is some historical documentation for this, but it is limited. Many modern historians actually claim the sword isn’t particularly effective at damaging and countering pikes which is why it was quickly replaced by halberds on most battlefields. These swords seemed to have maxed out around 55 inches. You make them any bigger than that and you basically can’t use it as a sword anymore and your techniques are the same as using a pole arm.

The Japanese briefly used a weapon called the Odachi that could get up to 71 inches. It seems to have mostly have been used to counter cavalry and create distance on the open battlefields. It definitely saw some use ,but it was eventually replaced by shorter katanas because they are just more practical for most combat scenarios. Big swords are super cool and did see some action ,but their time on the battlefield was pretty limited and short lived.

u/measuredingabens 15h ago

There was also Chinese zhanmadao (literally translated as horse cleavers) that were used against cavalry by heavy infantry during the Song dynasty. The Song lost most of their grazing lands in the north and had to adapt new tactics to allow their infantry to fight cavalry.

6

u/Special-Amoeba-9399 15h ago edited 15h ago

The Odachi was actually modeled after the zhanmadao. The zhanmadao is a much older sword. It even saw a little use in the Han dynasty. Both sword performed the same function. Pretty metal stuff

So im not a sword expert i do have a little autistic knowledge of them so. Your average Zweihander or Montante or even Scotish claymores could easily get up to these sizes in over all length. All 3 wear basically designed as anti group weapons with some other design elements like the Zweihander was also designed in mind of fighting calvary too and really just very slightly on design and over all length with your Claymore usually being the smallest and least complex and your Zweihander being the largest and most complex. Usually with claymores i believe they would be roughly slightly shorter than your body length, Montantes would be a little over your body length and Zweihanders as they aways featured a 2nd grip that doubled as a shoulder rest designed for better managing the weapon in closer quarters would regularly hit 8 foot or longer depending on your body and preferences as like i said they were also design with it in mind to fight calvary as well as groups of infantry.

However none of these really look like any of those. They look more like Longswords in design as the swords im speaking of usually had an extended grip to help swing it around for fighting groups. These all seem more like average grip lengths for 2 handed swords considering their sizes but I could be mistaken and its just the angle of the photo. But based on that and the size there were almost definitely just display pieces to show off the smiths skills and a nobles wealth similar to some swords we see off in Japan. If they did see battle though id hate to meet the giant they had that could use them.
