NetSword is an Internet discussion group for medieval and renaissance swords, daggers and associated weapons of war. In this series of forums we discuss modern replicas of historical swords along with many other types of weapons and their related fighting techniques. We also discuss all types of historical swords, and the artifacts and events surrounding weapons and warfare from medieval and renaissance times. In addition, we have forums on religion and politics to cover general history, and another one on culture.
NetSword participants are always open to discussions with people that are new to this area of interest, so if you have a questions about swords or history, don't hesitate to ask.
NetSword has no hard and fast rules beyond not condoning the use of profanity. You can post whatever you like as long as it related to swords, and medieval weapons or the history of weapons and warfare in the weapons forums, and medieval history and culture in the other forums. Here we concentrate primarily on swords and weapons of European origin. However, as we have now have a forum called the Archaeology of Weapons (following the work of Ewart Oakeshott, the worlds formost expert on swords), we are certainly open to discussing swords, and weapons and warfare from other parts of the world, and from earlier than medieval times.
NetSword has swordsmen, sword smiths, armourers, weapons makers, collectors of swords, re-enactors, historians and enthusiasts -- (lovers of swords) all posting to our discussion group, so come and join in. You are always welcome!
