I made a topic a few weeks ago asking about historically accurate weapons. I decided on the following 4, but I am wondering, are they all medieval or could some have been used earlier (ie the Dark Ages) or later (ie Renaissance)?

Nice choices indeed. I would say they are all Medieval, as I have seen archers and crossbowmen carrying such daggers. But Odysseus must know his game better than I, so stick with the sword I say - and it looks the best
The sword looks late medieval, kinda like a Henry IV era sword...
Good thing your buying real weapons. It's ashame so many insolent people buy cheap display only weapons and think they can use them fully.
I have a real sword and some chainmail; it's great stuff

The daggers could very well be Medieval, my knowledge is not too extensive in that area. I agree that the sword is the way to go if you go for a Medieval style weapon. It is blunt and is intended for stage and reenactment, and from what I hear the Hanwei practical line is quite sturdy, so it should last you for quite a while. The javelin would be my choice because it has an attractive price and is made by one of the top replica companies in the world. Swords are fun, though.Velliscig wrote:Nice choices indeed.

Velliscig,
What type of sword do you have?

It is also a theatrical sword, one-handed, a type of sword used during Henry V's Agincourt Campaign in 1415. It is made by Generation 2 (G2)
