The Zweihänder (German for “two hander”, also called Bidenhänder or Bihänder), is a two-handed sword primarily of the Renaissance. The weapon is often called in the Western martial arts community as a Greatsword. It was created in Switzerland and was later used by German and Austrian troops too.
Guards could be plain or ornate, while hilts usually ended with heart or pear shaped heavy pommels. Occasionally a blunted portion of the forte, the ricasso or Fehlschärfe (meaning “missing sharpness”) at the base of the blade allowed a hand to be placed below the lower guard to “shorten the grip” and make the handle like a polearm. This allowed the user to crudely repel a cavalry charge. The swords have hilt-mounted side-rings and enlarged cross-guards of up to 35 cm (14 in) across. Along the blade, some 10–20 cm (4–8 in) from the upper guard, Parierhaken (“parrying hooks”) shaped like lugs or flanges acted as a guard for the ricasso to prevent other weapons from sliding down the blade.
This Weapon comes with a sheath and is fully animated for the DCS2 meter.
