''Reclaiming the Blade'' is a 2009 documentary on both the fictional depictions and realities of European swordsmanship throughout the ages. It features [[John Rhys Davies]] as the narrator and includes contributions from the likes of [[Bob Anderson]], [[Viggo Mortensen]] and [[Peter Jackson]].

Sadly, this documentary is not well known and European swordsmanship remains immensely obscure.

* [[BFS]]: The standard sword for many Medieval and Renaissance knights was the longsword, a two-handed weapon that totaled four feet in length, with the blade accounting for three of those. Even larger were the specialised Renaissance two-handers, a favourite of German mercenaries. These could be up to six feet long. The kinds of swords described enjoy the bulk of attention in this documentary.
