THE principle of course should always be to retain and nurture the research and nature of forum, hopefully without some falling out on a personal attitude. It's a good thread and some valuable artwork is up for discussion.

I LOOKED AT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7gzQAUBHio and noted that the use of small pebbles in the hilt is noted at Matt Eastons work on the timer at Video at APROX. 3.17.

The video also goes into the various strokes with such weapons and discusses some earlier variants. The cyclic nature of rotating cuts using this design are clear and noted as also very damaging when used by mounted Cavalry.
