Yes I have one.They are unlike most swords. You swing it using your whole body as a counter weight, whirling, spinning movements of the body with the sword following.

Easily cut the legs out from under a horse.

I FReep mailed a good link.

Which, as I recall, was one of the original purposes of the design, to stop a charging knight's destrier, which was approximately the size of an Anheuser-Busch Clydesdale (so folks get the idea that when we're speaking of a "horse" we aren't speaking of a Quarter Horse, Arabian, or the like...)

: ) Thanks for the link. In truth I would have to beef up quite a bit to wield a Claymore. My kukri, however, is just right. I can really imagine the counter weight style employed with a Claymore. Like a dance or a martial arts kata.
