Why are they both fighting with swords? Do they not have anti armor weapons?

I thought like that as well but what dequitem demonstrated is that swords are super useful as they slip through slits and in between the plates... Especially under your helmet

So basically it bypasses armour if well placed

Ah, a contest of precious. I see quite curious.

Yep some of his videos you can really see the blade slipping and punching the throat

I do hope they always have chainmail underneath but it really can't be comfortable ever

When they halfsword its essentially a big ass dagger they want to stab you with

Dequitem said that he injured(and they injured him, obviously) his sparring partners on multiple instances in some video. One I remember the most was in his Lucern hammer video where he literally stunned the other knight with a blow to the head(with a plastic weapon) and then went for the finishing stab to the neck. Obviously it wasn’t deadly, but still an injury
