《黑暗之魂3》刀、剑武器原型及历史出处解析

  《黑暗之魂3》中的刀、剑武器造型非常帅气，许多玩家都找到了自己最钟爱的和最顺手的武器，其实这些武器都是有历史原型和出处的，甚至是历史上存在的有名冷兵器的变种。今天就为大家分享一篇“黄金爆乃头”整理的《黑暗之魂3》刀、剑武器原型及历史出处解析，一起来了解一下吧。

  欧洲剑的演变

  果敢心

  这种两道曲线波浪形刀刃的设计，在行内叫做反曲或者S刃。这种设计在战斗刀上比较多见。需要注意的是这里的一个概念，战斗刀不是格斗刀。砍刀如果说是纯粹的工具，那么格斗刀就是另一个极端，纯粹的武器，仅为杀人而服务而不具备太多别的功能。所以砍刀杀人不好使，格斗刀拿去干活儿也会蹩脚。而战斗刀介于两者之间，帮助士兵战斗和生存，同时兼备工具和武器。世界上绝大部分军用刀其实都是战斗刀，纯粹的格斗刀和工具刀在军队内不都用得比较少。

  顺便说一句，匕首在业内特指双刃的短剑型格斗刀，而不是大部分普通人人理解的对于短刀的泛称。

  好了言归正传，S刃的优点是在同样总产度的前提下，刀锋的长度因为曲线而被拉长了，这增加了切割的总长度，因为加大了杀伤力。而且，前侧突出的刀刃会挂住被切割的组织，使其除了被切开没有其他逃离的方向，进一步加大了切割的破坏力。突出的前段曲线还有加强劈砍能力的作用。根据压强原理，接触面积越小压强就越大，刀刃上向外突出的曲线部分被称为刀腹，刀腹越突出，劈砍时刀刃的接触面就越小，侵蚀力就越大(18剁的大钝刀头就是为了这一点)。这不仅可以帮助士兵在格斗时造成更严重的伤害，在野外这种设计也可以更好的劈砍和切削木料帮助士兵生存工作。

  S刃事实上早在几千年前就已经出现，古罗马的军队短剑就是这种前端大肚子后段略纤细的而设计，在古代战场所向睥睨，最终征服欧洲。

  当然，这样的而设计也有缺点，首先就是结构的复杂性对工艺的要求更高，刀身必须足够坚固否则后段纤细的刀身无法承受冲击，所以古代罗马军队是最早使用钢材制造兵器的古代欧洲国家。而且这种S型的刀刃在打磨的时候非常麻烦，变化的曲线和变化的打磨角度，普通士兵没有正确的工具和技巧，很难把这种设计的刀磨得锋利。

  长剑

  然后是喜闻乐见的骑士开局武器，长剑啦。

  长剑这一概念泛指上是指有足够双手握持的剑柄，且长刃的中世纪剑。但是长刃和长剑柄是长剑，战剑，巨剑共有特征。于是中世纪的战士把战剑和巨剑从“标准”剑中区分出来，但long-sword真的只是典型单手剑的加长版——除了刃变得更结实了。它是“更长的剑”，而不是单手剑。

  步兵和骑兵皆可装备long-sword，还可以并用盾牌，包括任何双手握持的剑。游戏中的长剑便是long-sword。

  阔剑

  游戏里为武装剑。武装剑是中世纪骑士使用的单手剑有这各种各样的形制，骑马的骑士装备“ Arming-sword”武装剑。武装剑因此获名骑兵剑"riding-swords"这种单手剑与大约产生于1300年的“knightly sword骑士剑”的联系紧密。

  说阔剑这个名称本身：“阔”描述剑只是偶然的，“阔”这个词被用作形容词，就像“锋利”和“大”一样。

  而阔刃剑则是另外一种东西。

  大剑

  名为大剑的大剑。

  一开始就已经确立的独特特征：具有较小锥度的剑身，具有相当长的握柄，倾斜的护手以四分之一的装饰环。最着名的双手剑莫属苏格兰阔刃大斩剑Claymore(盖尔语中claidheamh-more意为greatsword)，它们由早期苏格兰的巨剑发展而来。

  16世纪，苏格兰高地人曾以此对抗英格兰人。

  在电影《勇敢的心》中男主就是手持4环大剑。

  可其实它是这样的……

  历史原型，这种形制的剑产生于欧洲大陆的15世纪至19世纪，确实是拿来处刑的(这么钝也不知道是不是要把人砸死)。

  焰形大剑

  Such swords developed in the early-to-mid 1500's andare more appropriately known as flammards or flambards (theGerman Flammenschwert).

  这种剑在16世纪00年代初至中期发展起来，更适合称为flammards或flambards焰形剑(德国Flammen schwert)。

  The flamberge was also a term later applied to certaintypes of rapiers.

  flamberge也是一个术语，后来适用于某些类型的迅捷剑。

  The wave-blade form is visually striking but really nomore effective in its cutting than a straight one.

  波形剑的造型给人一种视觉冲击，但切割斩击方面并不比普通的剑更加有效。

  There were also huge two-handed blades known as"bearing-swords" or "parade-swords" (Paratschwert),weighing up to 12 or even 15 pounds and which were intended only for carryingin ceremonial processions and parades.

  还有称为“负剑”或“游行剑”(Paratschwert)的巨大双手剑，重达5.5甚至6.8千克，仅用于举行仪式游行和游行。

  混种大剑

  虽然游戏这奇怪的形制我一直认为是普通的大剑(双手)。

  In the early 1400's (as early as 1418) a form oflong-sword often with specially shaped grips for one or two hands, became knownas an Espée Bastarde or "bastard sword".

  混种剑是一种长剑。出现早在1418年。通常用一只或两只手握持。具有特殊形状的剑柄。

  The term may derive not form the blade length, butbecause bastard-swords typically had longer handles with special"half-grips" which could be used by either one or both hands.

  之所以称为“混种剑”并非由于剑刃的长度，而是因为混种剑具有额外的“半手”剑柄，既能单手握也能双手握。

  In this sense they were neither a one-handed sword nora true great-sword/two-handed sword, and thus not a member of either"family" of sword.

  在这个意义上，混种剑既不是单手剑，也不是一把巨剑或双手剑，因此不属于其他的剑类。

  Evidence shows the their blade were typically tapered.

  有证据显示典型的混种剑的剑体横截面呈锥形的。因此有的混种剑适合劈砍，而有的适合突刺。

  Since newer types of shorter swords were coming intouse, the term "bastard-sword" came to distinguish this form oflong-sword.

  “混种剑”这一术语将这一武器与“长剑”以及当时正在投入使用的较短的剑区分开来。(混种剑长度在长剑和武装剑之间)

  These handles have recognizable "waist" and"bottle" shapes (such grips were later used on the Renaissancetwo-handed sword).

  混种剑的剑柄具有可识别的“腰”和“瓶”形状(后来，文艺复兴双手剑沿用了这些剑柄)。

  The unique bastard-sword half-grip was a versatile andpractical innovation.

  额外的“半手”剑柄这一创新丰富了混种剑的剑术。

  Some were intended more for cutting while others werebetter for thrusting. Bastard swords continued to be used by knights andmen-at-arms into the 1500's.

  15世纪初。骑士和战士仍然使用着混种剑。

  Their hilt style leads toward the shorter cut &thrust sword forms of the Renaissance.

  混种剑剑柄的特殊形状，直接影响一些文艺复兴时期的较短的劈刺剑。

  Strangely, in the early Renaissance the termbastard-sword was also sometimes used to refer to single-hand arming-swordswith compound-hilts.

  奇怪的是，在早期的文艺复兴时期，混种剑也有时被用来指具有复合式刀刃的单手武装剑。

  A form ofGerman arming sword with a bastard-style compound hilt was called a"Reitschwert" ("cavalry sword") or a "Degen"("knight's sword").

  一种有混种剑式的复合式剑柄的德国武装剑，被称为“Reitschwert”(“骑兵剑”)或“Degen”(“骑士剑”)。

  Although these might have been forms of single-handestoc.

  虽然这种剑可能是单手版的estoc(破甲剑)。

  The familiar modern term "hand-and-a-half"was more or less coined to describe bastards swords specifically.

  诸位熟悉的现代术语“一手半剑”，多少有点专指混种剑。

  The term "hand-and-a-half sword" is oftenused in reference to long-swords is not historical and is sometimes misappliedto other swords...

  “手半剑”通常指历史未出现的长剑，也有时误指其他剑。

  (althoughduring the late 1500's, long after such blades fell out of favor, some Germanforms of this phrase are believed to have been used).

  (在16世纪00年代后期，这时混种剑已经失宠，一些德国剑曾经以“手半剑”为名)。

  While there is no evidence of the term“hand-and-a-half” having been used during the Middle Ages, either in English orother languages, it does appear in the 16th century.

  无论是英文还是其他语言，都没有证据表明中世纪出现过“一手半”这个术语。这个术语直到16世纪才出现。

  巨剑

  说完大剑，说说巨剑。

  Those blades long and weighty enough to demand adouble grip are great-swords.

  巨剑的剑体长而重，必须双手握持。

  They are infantry swords which cannot be used in asingle-hand.

  巨剑是无法仅凭单手使用的步兵剑。

  Originally the term "great-sword" , onlymeant a war-sword (long-sword),

  从前，“巨剑”一词，只称呼战剑或长剑。

  but it has now more or less come to mean a sub-classof those larger long-swords/war-swords that are still not true two-handers.

  不过现在一般称呼那些较大的长剑/剑亚类，这些亚类还不算真正的双手剑。

  Although they are "two hand" swords,great-swords not are the specialized weapons of later two-handed swords.

  虽然这些亚类是双手握持的剑，但这时它还没有分化成专门的双手剑。

  They are the swords that are antecedents to the evenlarger Renaissance versions.

  他们是文艺复兴时期更大的剑的前身。

  Great-swords are also the weapons often depicted invarious German sword manuals.

  巨剑常出现于德国剑谱中。

  Whereas other long-swords could be used on horsebackand some even with shields, great swords however were infantry weapons only.

  其他长剑可以在马上使用，有些甚至可以配盾牌使用。然而巨剑仅作为步兵武器。

  Their bladesmight be flat and wide or later on, more narrow and hexagonal or diamondshaped.

  巨剑的剑体平而宽，后来出现了剑体横截面窄的，六边形或菱形的巨剑。

  These larger swords capable of facing heavier weaponssuch as pole-arms and larger axes were devastating against lighter armors.

  巨剑能够对抗身着轻甲而装备重兵器(如长杆武器和大斧)的士兵。

  Long,two-handed swords with narrower, flat hexagonal blades and thinner tips (suchas the Italian "spadone") were a response to plate-armor.

  后来出现的巨剑，剑体长且具有较窄的扁平六角形剑体横截面和较薄的剑尖。甚至能用于对抗板甲士兵。

  Against plate armor such rigid, narrow, and sharplypointed swords are not used in the same chop and cleave manner as with flatter,wider long-swords and great swords.

  这种刚性，细锐的巨剑。并不像平而宽的长剑和一般的巨剑一样劈砍攻击。

  Instead, theyare handled with tighter movements that emphasize their thrusting points andallow for greater use of the hilt.

  它剑术紧凑，注重剑柄灵巧运动，注重剑尖突刺攻击。

  Those of the earlier parallel-edged shape are knownmore as war-swords, while later the thicker, tapering, sharply pointed formwere more often called bastard-swords.

  早期平行剑刃的剑一般称为war-sword战剑，而后来较厚的，细锐，锥形的剑更常称为bastard-sword混种剑。

  One type oflong German sword, the "Rhenish Langenschwert", from the Rhenish cityof Cologne, had a blade of some 4 feet and an enormous grip of some 14 to 16inches long, not including the pommel.

  莱茵河边的科隆市，有一种长的德国剑，叫"Rhenish Langen schwert"，剑刃达1.22m，剑柄达950px(不含配重球)。

  严格起来，这里的巨剑并不是老贼游戏里的巨剑，游戏里的巨剑是嘎子剑。

  双手剑

  Two-handed Swords双手剑(双巨的原型)

  The term "two-hander" or "two-handedsword" (espée a deure mains or spada da due mani) was in use asearly as 1400 and is really a classification of sword applied both to Medievalgreat-swords as well Renaissance swords (the true two-handed swords).

  “双手剑”一词早在1400年出现，并且用于区分中世纪巨剑和文艺复兴时期的双手剑。

  Such weapons saw more use in the later Middle Ages andearly Renaissance.

  这种武器多用于中世纪后期和文艺复兴早期。

  Technically, true two-handed swords (epee's a deuxmain) were actually Renaissance, not Medieval weapons.

  从技术上讲，真正的双手剑是文艺复兴时期的武器，而不是中世纪的武器。

  They are really those specialized forms of the later1500-1600's, such as theSwiss/German Dopplehander ("double-hander")or Bidenhander ("both-hander")or Zweihander / Zweyhander are relatively modern not historicalterms.

  他们是之后1500-1600年代的分化的剑的前身，如瑞士/德国的Dopplehander，Bidenhander，Zweihander等名称。Zweihander这名字其实是后世所后加的而非历史术语。

  English ones were sometimes referred to as"slaughterswords" after theGermanSchlachterschwerter ("battle swords").

  英国的双手剑有时是对“屠剑slaughterswords”的称呼，出自德国Schlachter schwerter。(slaughter sword有可能就是Lowlander Sword)

  These weaponswere used primarily for fighting against pike-squares where they would hackpaths through lobbing the tips off the poles.

  这些武器主要用于对付长矛方阵。双手剑兵将把矛尖拨开甚至劈断，杀出一条血路。

  In Germany, England, and elsewhere schools also taughttheir use for single-combat.

  在德国，英国和其他地方的学校，也教授双手剑兵一对一战斗。

  In True two-handed swords have compound-hilts withside-rings and enlarged cross-guards of up to 12 inches.

  真正的双手剑，配有侧环，复合剑柄，和长达30.5厘米的放大版剑格。

  Most havesmall, pointed lugs or flanges protruding from their blades 4-8 inches belowtheir guard.

  大多双手剑的剑格下方10-20厘米处有突出的凸缘。

  These parrierhaken or "parryinghooks" act almost as a secondary guard for the ricasso to prevent otherweapons from sliding down into the hands.

  这些锚爪或者叫“格挡钩”几乎作为ricasso(ricasso即剑身靠近柄的不开刃处)的第二剑格，以防止其他武器劈到手。

  They make up for the weapon's slowness on the defenceand can allow another blade to be momentarily trapped or bound up. They canalso be used to strike with.

  这个设计弥补了双手剑防守动作缓慢的缺陷，并且可以让敌方的剑被暂时地困住。也能用来打击。

  The most well-known of "twa handit swordis" isthe Scottish Claymore (Gaelic for "claidheamh-more" orgreat-sword) which developed out of earlier Scottish great-swords with whichthey are often compared.

  吖我拜年剑法

  亚特大剑

  先说说亚特大剑，这玩意你们应该对他的战纪咸鱼突刺很有阴影吧，历史上这类大剑的用法也确实是咸鱼突刺。比如Albion The Dane Sword(阿尔比恩戴恩剑)。

  这种与众不同的剑，拥有狭长的钻石型刃及更细的无锋段，曾经在丹麦非常常见——在那里有许多的现存实物，其起源也许在意大利，Albion's Dane是基于Peter Johnsson关于这种剑的文献。他们看起来非常抢眼，但是非常轻盈和迅捷，足以带来可怕的砍击或穿刺。这是一种精致的刺剑，但是像那些比较厚的，硬的尖头剑一样，他的砍击效果不容低估，这种剑设计用于着甲战斗。像是一种巨大坚硬，毫不迟钝而充满侵犯性的长锥子。

  剑刃和无锋部分的厚度惊人。当以半剑使用时，其几乎类似于长矛类武器：他那厚重、坚硬的剑刃和恐怖的锥尖，在剑士尽力一击时具有毁灭性的力量。作为战场武器总是给人留下深刻印象，因为他的杀伤力、重量和灵活性无愧于大杀器。一个着甲的精锐剑士携带此剑时必然是令人生畏的。也许这种剑在马背上的表现也很好。他的长握把，坚固的剑隔和无锋段，使其可以被夹在胸甲和肩甲之间当做骑枪使用，虽然接触面不长但某些情况下也许是好事。在某些中世纪文献中也确有记载把剑当骑枪的情况。

  刺剑

  特大剑讲完了，说说名为刺剑的刺剑(ESTOC)。

  The Estoc

  刺剑其实名为破甲剑。

  A form of long, rigid,pointed, triangular or square bladed and virtually edgeless sword designed for thrusting intoplate-armor was the estoc.

  破甲剑是一种较长刚硬且尖锐的剑身横截面成三角或者菱形的无刃的剑,专为刺入板甲而设计。

  Calleda stocco in Italian, estoque in Spanish, a tuck in English, Panzerstecher or Dreiecker inGerman, and a kanzer in Eastern Europe.

  意大利人一般称它为stocco，西班牙人一般称它为estoque，英国人把它叫做tuck，德国人称之anzerstecher或Dreiecker。

  They were usedwith two hands and similar to great-swords (but were unrelated to laterrapiers).

  它和大剑比较相似，人们一般双手使用(但它和后来的轻剑不同)。

  They were used in two hands with the second hand oftengripping the blade.

  双手使用时，次手一般握住剑的刃部。

  Some were sharpened only near the point and othersmight have one or two large round hand guards.

  有些破甲剑只有在接近剑尖的部分开刃，有些还有一个或两个巨大的剑格。

  Rapiers aresometimes mistakenly referred to as tucks, and there is evidence that duringthe Renaissance some rapiers may have been referred to as such by the English.

  轻剑有时总是被误认为与破甲剑，并且有证据表明，在文艺复兴时期，有些轻剑在英语中被指认为破甲剑。

  In French "estoc" itself means to thrust.

  在法语中estos这个词就是刺入的意思。

  然后真正的刺剑是怎么样的呢(ricassos)。

  Cut & ThrustSwords劈刺剑

  The term "cut and thrust sword" is a generalone which can be applied to a whole range of blade forms (field swords, sideswords, arming swords).

  “劈刺剑”泛指几乎所有刀剑(战场刀field swords、佩剑side swords、武装剑arming swords)。

  However, the Renaissance military sword is generallycharacterized by a swept or compound-hilt, a narrow cut-and-thrust blade withstronger cross-section, and tapering tip.

  然而，这种文艺复兴时期的军用剑具有特征性的意大利式圈状剑柄Swept-hilt式或复合剑柄compound-hilt、细长而高强度的劈刺剑身、并且有一个锥形的剑尖。

  A direct descendant of the medieval knightly sword,the cut and thrust sword was used by lightly armed footmen as well as civiliansin the 16th and 17th centuries.

  作为中世纪骑士剑的衍生物，在十六十七世纪劈刺剑总是装备在轻甲步兵和老百姓身上。

  During thistime they were employed against a range of armored and unarmored opponents.

  在那段时间里，他们被雇佣来对抗一系列有装甲和无装甲的对手。

  They were popular for sword & buckler and sword& dagger fighting.

  劈刺剑在小圆盾+剑与匕首+剑的比赛的优秀表现，使其很受欢迎。

  They utilized an innovative one-handed grip fingeringthe ricasso (a dull portion of blade just above the guard).

  他们使用了一种创新性的单手剑把，这让他们能用手指操控ricasso(靠近剑格的一段剑身不开锋)。

  Renaissance cut & thrust swords should not bereferred to as "early Renaissance swords" since they were actually inuse throughout the period.

  文艺复兴时期的劈刺剑不应该当作是早期文艺复兴的剑，因为事实上人们整个时期都在使用它。

  Military andcivilian forms of them existed before, during and after the development of therapier.

  劈刺剑的军用和民用的版本很早以前就存在了，贯穿迅捷剑发展的前后。

  For example, similar blades (with and without ricassosand compound hilts) saw use in the English Civil War and even later.

  举个例子，类似的剑(有以及没有ricassos和复合剑格)被用于英国内战甚至更晚。

  They shouldalso not be referred to as "sword-rapiers" or "earlyrapiers", although in a sense, some of them were.

  劈刺剑不应该被当作普通剑和迅捷剑的混合或早期迅捷剑，尽管在某种意义上，有些劈刺剑的确是。

  Renaissance cut & thrust swords were their owndistinct sword type.

  文艺复兴时期的劈刺剑明显是独立的剑的类型。

  Although sometimes considered a "transition"form, this is inaccurate as they were both the ancestor and contemporary of therapier for which they are often misidentified.

  虽然劈刺剑有时候被认为是过渡的剑种，但与它经常与其混淆的迅捷剑不一样，因为劈刺剑可以说是迅捷剑的祖先与现状。

  Some forms ofcage & basket hilts blades are occasionally referred to as "ridingswords" by collectors and curators, and sometimes even as"broadswords".

  有些形式的笼手剑偶尔被一些收藏家与管理员当作骑士剑，有时甚至当作阔刃剑。

  However, the 16th century Italians did sometimesdistinguish between spada da cavallo, or a blade for horsemen, spadada fante, an infantry sword for foot-soldiers, and later spada dalato (side sword), a civilian cut-and-thrust sword, a form of which onlylater became the rapier (in modern times sometimes called a stricia).

  然而，16世纪的意大利人有时会区分spada da cavallo骑兵剑、spada da fante步兵剑、以及后来的spada da lato佩剑，civilian cut&thrust sword民用劈刺剑。劈刺剑后来才成为迅捷剑，在现代有时被称为stricia(意大利语)。

  现代击剑的花剑和重剑奇源于轻剑，那是一种没开刃的长锥子。

  双手剑

  弯刃大刀

  The Falchion弯刃大砍刀

  A rarer form of swordthat was little more than a meat cleaver, possibly even a simple kitchen andbarnyard tool adopted for war.

  弯刃大砍刀是一钟不常见的剑，不仅仅只是把剔肉刀，或者更好的说，它是一种被用于战场的家用工具。

  Indeed, it maycome from a French word for a sickle, "fauchon".

  事实上，它的名字可能来自于法语中的镰刀“fauchon”。

  It can be seen in Medieval art being used againstlighter armors by infidels as well as footman and even knights.

  在中世纪艺术中总能看到异教徒使用弯刃大砍刀来对付轻甲的步兵甚至骑士。

  The weapon is entirely European and not derived fromeastern sources.

  这武器是纯粹的欧洲本土产生的，并不是衍生自东方的武器。

  More common in the Renaissance, it was considered aweapon to be proficient with in addition to the sword.

  在文艺复兴更为常见，弯刃大砍刀成为了除剑以外的第二种值得精通的武器。

  The falchion issimilar to the German Dusack (or Dusagge), and has beendubiously suggested as possibly related to the Dark Age long knife,"seax" (scramanseax), and even later curved blades such as sabres (orsabels).

  弯刃大砍刀与德国的Dusack(或Dusagge)相似，并且据不可靠消息，它与未开化时期(黑暗时代)的长刀“seax”意为“knife”(以及scramanseax，意为"wounding-knife")，甚至是后来像是军刀sabre的弯刃刀有关。

  Similar to an Arabian "scimitar", thefalchion's wide, heavy blade weighted more towards the point could delivertremendous blows.

  弯刃大砍刀宽阔沉重的刀刃，重量大多集中在刀尖，挥舞起来虎虎生风，这点和阿拉伯的半月形刀(scimitar)很像。

  Several varieties were known, most all with singleedges and rounded points.

  为人所知的几种刀型，大多是单刃且刀尖为圆形。

  A later Italian falchion with a slender sabre-likeblade was called a "storta" or a "malchus".

  后期意大利弯刃大砍刀的刀刃是较轻薄的，像是军刀的刃，被(意大利人)称为"storta"或是"malchus"。

  Another similar weapon in German was the saber ormachete-like Messer.

  在德国，其他类似弯刀machete和军刀saber的武器也存在，比如像是Messer(德语，意为Knife，刀)

  巨刀

  Large two-handversions, called Grosse Messers, with straight or curved single-edgedblades were known by 1500.

  名为Grosse Messers(great knife，巨刀)的巨大双手版，拥有或弯或直的刀刃。在十六世纪为人所知。

  卡萨斯曲刀

  卡萨斯曲刀，卡曲的原型应该是印度的塔尔瓦剑Talwar，巨大的刀身和刀身繁复的花纹与游戏中的卡曲有相当接近的形制。

  就是游戏中的曲刀为什么双手会变快，明明现实中刀柄只能塞一个手。

  钩剑

  原型是埃塞俄比亚的钩刀。

  源自阿比西尼亚(古埃塞俄比亚)的钩剑是一种弯度极大的刀，让人想起大镰刀，其刀身是菱形截面，通常是平脊或许地方有剑脊。剑身长度大约为80厘米(31.5英寸)，木制剑柄款式复杂、润滑且没有装饰。这种刀没有护手，应装在贴身皮革剑鞘内佩带。

  军刀

  军刀(saber)1KG左右，1米左右长度的单手兵器。用于城市江湖中的无甲械斗，亦作为火器时代的骑兵步兵肉搏武器。

  军刀可能是在热武器最坚挺的大型冷武器了，从文艺复兴一直用到二战骑兵部队。

  蛇人柴刀

  原型尼泊尔(科拉Kora)剑，有极强的劈砍能力，外形上也能看出确实由农具演变而来，长度大底在1米左右。

  顺便提一句，看到下面这个…你们懂的啦。不过话说回来武器都是特化的工具。所以……

  人类没有发明武器。人类只发明了工具，武器只不过是特殊的工具。你想要战剑，买一把开山刀吧。你喜欢战斧?消防斧满足你的要求。战锤是吗?拆迁大锤是你的好伙伴。

  打刀

  打刀，这个没什么好说的。世界3大名刀之一，就算是不懂的人也能说出一二，只是打刀是步战用，太刀是马战用，二者区别更多是是装具上的区别。

  丛云

  丛云，我觉得大曲中的颜值担当。具描述是一种镰仓到室町时期的奇怪变种，换言之就是自制的奇怪武器，据称青龙刀?这名很迷啊。

  话说回来从云这个名字也是老贼游戏的常客了。

  不过这种玩意八成不是普通人能玩的，估计是某些大力猛男的东西。

  卡大曲

  首先从形制上来说很像是在东南亚一带的缅刀，同时也是一种不折不扣的双手刀。就是长度没有游戏里面那么长，游戏为了视觉和所以通常会把武器放大一号。

  流放者曲刀

  怎么描述呢，这鬼畜玩意，说实话我第一眼看到这玩意是我是惊了，怎么会有怎么难看的武器。想来想去能和这个比得上亲戚的估计只有——

  吃不吃惊?意不意外?还是暗属性变质的。

  匕首

  A common long dagger, "poignard" (poniard),or "pugnale" was a favored companion, carried en-suite witha sword or rapier as a backup weapon or even on its own.

  通常，人们喜欢把长匕首、“poignard”(法语)、“pugnale”(意大利语)与剑、迅捷剑，甚至匕首搭配成套作为其后备武器。

  The dagger was lightweight, deadly, and elegant.

  匕首轻巧，致命，优雅。

  Used primarily as a defensive weapon, dagger fighting was an art itself.

  匕首主要用作防御武器，匕首战斗本身就是是一种艺术。

  Technically, a poniard was square or triangular shapedwith no edge, while a dagger had a knife-like blade.

  技术上讲，刺匕Poniard剑身横截面成三角或者菱形且无刃。而匕首dagger的剑体类似小刀。

  Generally, daggers in the Middle Ages were employedpoint down, pommel up, while those in the Renaissance were used point up withthe thumb placed on the hilt.

  一般来说，中世纪的匕首握法是剑尖朝下，柄端朝上。而那些文艺复兴时期的匕首则剑尖朝上，且把拇指贴在刀柄上。

  Many later daggers for use with rapiers had elaborateguards and were specially designed for trapping and parrying.

  后来，许多设计与迅捷剑一起使用的匕首有着精心设计的剑格，专门用于卡住敌方的武器，以及格挡攻击。

  准备攻击战技

  准备攻击这个战技与其说是准备攻击，不如说是防守进攻兼顾的一种架势。名曰牛位起势。

  得自其剑身走向颇似公牛伸向前方的尖角。先摆好犁位起势的架势，然后将手臂屈起，使剑柄处于略高于头顶的位置——当然还是在你后脚一侧——让剑尖指着对手面部。和犁位起势一样，若剑的位置左右交换，应做一个交替步使其总在后脚那侧。在牛位起势中剑刃是与地面平行的，对右利手者来说，长刃一边应在右方，拇指按着向下那一面的剑身。牛位起势可以防御从上面来的砍劈，同时让你能够迅速以突刺反击。

  然而游戏里并不能防御啊!

  欧洲剑的样式发展演变
