I'd like to be critical, but I know what a challenge these swords must have been. The first long blade I ever made, a kriegsmesser, performed much like these because I made the same mistakes. The blades are made extra thick and not as hard to absorb the stress, and as a result, the edge doesn't hold, and the extra weight makes the whole weapon feel unwieldy. Making a GOOD blade of this length is an art that takes years to perfect. It was a good attempt. I couldn't have done any better myself.

The 'Landsknecht' sword or the 'Zweihänder' as distance weapons were primarily used as a tool to open up enemy defence lines to splinter the wooden handles of lances, spears and halberds to allow the moving up fighters a short-range combat at the point of use. Stabbing & Cutting were less intended with that heavy and exhausting weapon. Test # 3 is showing the correct application.
