Weird Weapons of History with

I finally went to go explore the UK, which was a great experience, and also an opportunity to collab with these two gentlemen. Tod's expertise as a skilled craftsman and Matt Easton's historical knowledge and HEMA experience add plenty to the conversation, which makes nerding out about historical arms and armor even more interesting!

Particularly when they're such strange designs.
