What is a Two-Handed Sword?

A two-handed sword is a type of European sword that requires the use of both hands to wield effectively. These swords typically have a long blade, measuring between 4 to 6 feet in length, and a long hilt that allows for a two-handed grip. This grip allows for greater control over the sword, enabling the wielder to deliver powerful and precise strikes.

What is a 2 Handed Sword Called?

Two-handed swords come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and they are known by different names depending on their specific characteristics and origins. For instance, the Scottish claymore, a type of two-handed sword, is named after the Gaelic word "claidheamh mor," which means "great sword." The German zweihander is another type of two-handed sword that has a longer blade than most other types, with some measuring up to 7 feet in length.

What Defines a Greatsword?

A Greatsword is defined by its long, two-handed grip and a blade that is typically over 4 feet in length.

Greatswords are not to be confused with Longswords, which are also two-handed swords but typically have shorter blades
