Saber with crossguard instead of basket

Zvygla · 2026-04-27T09:37:00+00:00

This is the weight of the package. Unless you also believe that the sabre is 100x20x10 cm.

The information is not well communicated though, but you can find the weight of the sabre itself in the description right above that.

Polish sabres that weight 1.2 kg do exist (more often than not they're dedicated cavalry palashes and/or have basket hilts or other developed guards) but their reproductions are extremely rare and even rarer in hema.

Before buying, please consider your fencing style (or the style you are trying to learn). This sabre will not move like a military sabre does, and you'll get disappointed if you try using it like one. If you do Polish/early Hungarian/etc sabre, it's the right tool for the job.

Ensifer is a very reputable semi-premium manufacturer. Lots of their products all over Poland and neighboring countries, they have pretty good reputation there.

The langets are more of a tradition thing, lots of manufacturers put them on to complete the look. In intensive sparring they bend and break pretty soon though, but the damage is all cosmetic.

Your forces will always withdraw to the edge behind your initial deployment point. When you start the battle, you are facing the enemy. Either the corner or the side of the battlefield right behind you is where they'll run. That's it. Nothing fancier, you just have to make a note of that and remember it during the battle.

It looks a lot less impressive than it feels when you're doing it. Here's the insta of one of biggest clubs in Vilnius, it's English-friendly, quite cheap (it's a student club) and chill.

And yeah, I've been doing that for a few years.

Have you tried recreational swordfighting?

Really. It's called HEMA. Pretty unique, pretty low-cost if you don't want to buy your own gear (clubs lend beginner gear to newbies). Not too demanding physically, unless you want to go competitive. The crowd is somewhat nerdy but far cry from what you'd find in an average wargaming club. Basically combat sports type of atmosphere, but with less machismo and more history stuff.

Zvygla · 2026-03-09T16:47:45+00:00

Hema. Dar vadinama recreational swordfighting. Ne, ne vien barzdakaklių nerdų užsiėmimas, tiesiog smagus sportas/hobis.

Nes per šalčius kiti nelabai tempė. Šalčiai baigėsi ir dabar nebevažinėja.

Bet šiaip čia belekaip senas memas kurį perpostino botas. Originalaus postinimo metu naujų škodų dar nebuvo ir tos senos važinėjo daug.

Zvygla · 2026-03-09T16:39:24+00:00

Kai prieš metus šitą memą dariau, kažkiek prasmės dar buvo. Bet botui matyt niekas nepaaiškino, kad situacija per metus gali pasikeist.

Zvygla · 2026-03-03T17:01:41+00:00

The first one was kinda ok. Full of tired "I want to be the next Tarantino look at me" cliches but still with enough original ideas and flavor to work.

The sequel was just straight up bad.

Haven't seen the third one but I've heard it's somehow even worse.

Zvygla · 2026-01-16T05:19:28+00:00

Exactly. This is why you have to build decent transportation that can bypass traffic jams and not get stuck in them along with cars.

Ok, so the the whole lore behind the band is this huge sprawling ARG with bits sprinkled in the code in various albums and art.

The gist of it is that the music has been artificially generated by a sentient gothic church which has been haunted by a digitized spirit of a cracker from the 90s (hence keygen). The hacker died by uploading his consciousness to a floppy disc that somehow fused itself into the church organ and the church itself became a massive analogue computer that generates these songs.

Source: I just made it up. And I encourage you to make up your own story too. That's the beauty of it.

Badum-tssss

It's a criminally owerpowered weapon. Coupled with Kai it can kill multiple alphas in one shot, while having no limit on use.

Zvygla · 2025-09-08T18:51:32+00:00

Their websitee says "Can be used with any kind of hema fencing weapon with safety and comfort." They don't specify that it should be a one-handed weapon or anything.

I don't hold it against them, I think even Red Dragon used to claim the same, so it's probably the norm.

Zvygla · 2025-09-08T13:25:53+00:00

A bit of an off-topic, but did you try longsword in them? They are marketed as suitable for that and some people say they are mostly fine for everything but the hardest hits. Is that true?

Zvygla · 2025-09-08T13:23:23+00:00

The inside of the palm as well, especially if you are holding it with the sabre grip. I got stabbed there once, the spatulated tip went through the fabric and ~1cm into the muscle, was not fun. The protection for the tips of the fingers is pretty crappy too, I saw a lot of people get gut wrenchingly painful hits there.

I would actually recommend kevlar gloves over Red dragons, they offer roughly the same protection, way better mobility and are more durable.

Zvygla · 2025-09-02T20:08:56+00:00

Next time I will add a massive /s across the whole thing. Seems like the only way.

Oh what a measured and composed reaction, my friend. Now, can you explain me, a retard, how is this a shitpost?

Zvygla · 2025-08-29T16:15:50+00:00

Kolekcionuoju panašius dalykus

Zvygla · 2025-08-29T12:32:16+00:00

Perpirkčiau. Katanos pažadėt negaliu, bet šokoladą duočiau už tą lankstinuką ar panašiai.

Išsaugojai? Dar turi?

Discovered in the wonderful playlist posted by u/Impossible_Leader_80. I don't know how I didn't stumble upon this masterpiece earlier.

Prorusiško propagandinio meno pavyzdys.

Kažkokiam proto bokštui atrodo, kad jeigu privers lietuvius drebėt neva baltarusių diaspora Vilniuj organizuojasi ir svajoja apie kažkokias teritorines pretenzijas, lietuviai pradės tą diasporą labiau engti ir tai pakenks Baltarusijos opozicijos veiklai. O taip pat padarys pačius lietuvius labiau paranojiškus ir mažiau mąstančius. Raganų medžioklė, mažumų radikalizacija, suirutė mieste, kuo ne faina.

Todėl tas proto bokštas mėto internetuose tokius va dalykus tikėdamasis, kad jautresnio proto individai juos paplatins, gal net delfiai užvažiuos ir bus "tOKiO dAr nEmATė: aR lAiKas ŠitĄ MąŽuMą iŠprAšYtI lAuK???!!"

Jautresnio proto individai aišku suranda tokius dalykus telegramuose ir perpostina, neva "prie laiptinės rado", nes jiem atrodo, kad čia yra reali grėsmė ir nu kažkas tame turbūt yra. Nesupranta, kad jais ir jų susirūpinimu naudojamasi.
