Part 1 (making the higher quality bardiche):
Thanks to Benoit Laurent at Steward Mountain Forge for taking on this project.
In this video we were testing the bardiches against a riveted mail hauberk and a torso analog made of synthetic ballistic gel and PVC pipe.
The gel I use:

Try some Bunny Archery! 😀 http://gmlft.co/skallagrim
Shows why poleaxes were so effective. Even if things tend to bounce off of ballistic gel.
Bunny archery? HELL YEA I'LL DOWNLOAD IT!
A game that's also for Windows? That got my attention
Ohh I will actually check out that game. Looks nice, I need something to do at work…. xD
It's dead alright. Skall a Grimm Reaper
Where can I buy one?
Hey skall, can you put budget katanas up against various types of armor? would be an interesting watch
Hey Skallagrim, would putting faux-blood inside of the dummy like they do on Forged in Fire help with the friction caused by the gel?
I don't know if you watch the walking dead, but if you did what did you think of the battle axe chop that Jerry delivered?
Just imagining getting stabbed by this thing makes me cringe
I like how the dummy twirls like it feels real pain.
Those slow motion collision sounds are brutal
Glade to see you embrace sponsored videos. You got to make your money somehow.
That strike at 7:28 sounded like thunder!
Where did that mail come from?
The sound of the bardiche hitting the bare torso in the slow-motion footage is just so…. Visceral, the sound almost makes it a bit sickening. I hear that I can imagine the flesh and bone giving eay to the strikes.
even if not cut trough would produce massive pain for sure
What chainmail is that so i can buy?
Ok so wouldn't you think instead of screwing into the wood and somewhat compromising its integrity why not just fit it like an axehead would to its handle. Is that how they were traditionally attached? like wtf.
That is some badass shit.
Hay can you tell us if for honor is some what realistic plz
Your new bardiche is badass! Please tell us that Benoit is taking orders for identical reproductions.
could someone explain the differences between a bardiche and a halberd ? seems to be a pretty similar design to me
However well made, the "improved version" does look a tad overbuilt/too heavy at times… Edit: Ah, it says at the end. A full kilo heavier.
Skal, one of the few legendary people who can make shilling entertaining. Keep it up!
With your current set-up (although it might be a bit messy) I don't think it would be too difficult to add water with red coloring into the pipes you have in the gel torso and cap off the ends. I know it's supposed to represent bone but I think it would give the test a more cinematic feeling.
I feel that if we at least try out the games skall advertises they would see the traffic and Skall might get even more offers, so let's at least try the games out maybe we end up looking one or something
The sounds of impact in slow motion are especially disturbing.
I feel like Skall really enjoyed this weapon. 😀
Conclusion: Benoit's bardiche is a mean motherfucker. And so is Youtube.
