A Flamberge? Nicely done, no doubt. However, I personally wouldn't give him a Flamberge, but rather a normal Zweihander. This is just personal preference, though, I got nothing against Flamberge's in general.
Huuuuuboy.
That is one handsome bastard!
I'm glad you're going for the more fantastical-style weapons.
They'll give the game that much more personality.
Hey, sorry I was dead for about a month. I ran into some serious hardware issues with my PC (the graphics card died and I couldn't afford a replacement until last week.) Along with some random stuff that has popped up in my life. I'm leaving to start college tomorrow. I'll be working on PVK2 stuff much less frequently as I'll be really busy. I will still try to get work done for PVK2 as much as I can (considering that working in 3d is a pretty nice way to distract myself when I'm stressed lol.) Sorry about the delay guys, this obviously is not the end of my work for PVK2, I'm just in the middle of a bit of a tumultuous time and PVK2 is getting put to the sideline for a little bit.
No worries, I'm glad to hear you're going to keep at it.
Would've been a sad shame to see you drop it completely.
Your skilled craftsmanship will be worth the wait!
Hello Kanine. I noticed you were basing the Knights' Archer's sword on the German long knife, so here is something about them (not my work):
Also I did an internet search for original seaxes and the handles are not like you've done yours. They mostly looked like this:
With some like this:
The reason why my writing here is so formal is that people inevitably get annoyed at my writing, so sticking to the rules of formal writing is my attempt to avoid people taking me the wrong way and getting annoyed.
Complaining and expressing disagreement and arguing are very good things to do.
If something written by me here does not look formal, it may be because I tried to make it look better than it could were it formal, or it might be that it seems all right to me without it being formal.

With some like this:
I like how you posted pics of seaxs, showing that they are -single edged-, but those aren't handles, they are called tangs. Tangs are the part that the hilt gets attached to.
I'm loving your work, Kanine but I'm afraid I'm not too happy with that fullered gladius you are calling a langseax. I love the design- but not being considered a langseax.
I see you may have done a Google image search for the langeax and found something exactly like it made. But the thing is- look at almost everything else. Single edged.
Its like calling a gladius a scimitar or katana.
But again, very beautifully made though!
I love your work, especially the new Viking axes. Agreed on lengthening the Berserker's great axe more to differentiate from his hatchet more.
Loving the archer's sabre! Someone must have done their homework because its suggested that many archers in the middle ages preferred sabre-like falchions very similar to the grosse messer.

That was me doing something I often do, which is saying what I drew my conclusion from and assuming that others would draw the same conclusions. Kanine's picture of a knife of his design, which seems to be accompanied by the word langseax, shows the tang straight and not tapering along the entire handle, and then enlarging to the width of the blade, like a pommel, with three rivet holes. The pictures of seaxes were to say that the tangs on seaxes (that I have seen pictures of) are not shaped that way, so the handles could not have been like that (Unless the seaxes had their pommel-like parts removed, and possibly their tangs tapered, before being buried). I was saying that the handles were wrong without all that explanation.

Has Kanine left the development and these are just yet another...'Relic'?
