2021年1月7日 · The balance point is the physical, precise point on a sword where its weight is equally distributed to each side. In other words, you can place the sword long-wise on the tip of your finger at its point of balance and it will essentially balance.

2019年8月25日 · The point of balance, short PoB, is the point on a sword where there is an equal weight distribution on both sides. Generally this point is located 5 to 18 cm (2 to 7.1 in) in front of the guard. Locating the point of balance on your sword isn’t that tricky. You just have to balance the side of the blade on your finger.

2018年9月17日 · The point of balance is the physical, precise point on a sword where its weight is equally distributed to each side. In other words, you can place the sword long-wise on the tip of your finger at its point of balance and it will essentially balance.

To find the point of balance on a given sword, simply balance it on your fingers (flat of course!) and measure from the guard. The Crossguard (hand-guard) is used as much (if not more) to stop your own hand from sliding down the blade when thrusting as it is to stop any blows aimed at your hand by an opponent.

The balance point is a physical, precise point on the sword, and its weight is evenly distributed to each side. In other words, you can put the sword length on the balance point of your fingertips, and it will basically maintain balance.

2024年2月1日 · We'll unveil the secrets of medieval sword balance points, explore the impact of hilt design and blade thickness, and witness how these silent partners dictated the clash of steel on battlefield and tourney ground.

What is a balance point? A balance point or center of gravity is the place where you can balance a sword by placing it like a seesaw (a two-sided lever).

2018年4月19日 · Balance Point (aka Center of Mass, Center of Gravity) Simply put, the point where the sword will balance. This is where the torque of the sword’s mass equalizes out. As most of you know, torque is force times distance, so a heavy pommel put closer to the balance point can ‘compensate’ for a lighter blade much further from the balance point.

2017年4月1日 · With this tool you can see the effect of changing mass, mass distribution, the placing of point of balance and adjusting the proportion between blade and hilt length. This way you can try out different values before you dedicate time in actual making.

the correct balance point of a sword does depend on the sword, but is generally a few inches above the hilt/guard. at this point the length of the blade should be equal weight with the handle and guard...
