About
Two-Handed Swords: Maximum Blade, Both Hands When reach and raw authority mattered more than a shield, the answer was the two handed sword. This collection gathers the giants: the greatsword , the German zweihander that anchored Landsknecht pike lines, the Scottish claymore , the Iberian montante, and the oversized showpieces of our giant sword series. Why Fight With Both Hands A two handed grip multiplies leverage. The same blade that feels ponderous in one hand becomes fast and controllable in two, and the extra length keeps polearms and cavalry at a respectful distance. These were specialist weapons carried by the strongest soldiers on the field, paid double wages for the job. Choosing a Two-Handed Sword Claymores are the most manageable entry into the class; greatswords and zweihanders reward commitment with sheer presence, on the wall or in the cut. The Damascus and 1095 high carbon steel blades here are hand forged with full tangs. Compare the whole family in the types of swords guide , or browse the complete sword collection .
