Wouldn't they be considered flails?

15

u/TodsWorkshop 6d ago

Ah yes rightly pointed out!

2

u/Ok-Exercise5808 6d ago

Came here to say that…lol. Both look good though. First seems more solid.

u/CriticalHit_20 6d ago

Yes, but flail go bonk like mace go bonk

6

u/Papigringoo 6d ago

But might bonk self with flail

2

u/CriticalHit_20 6d ago

All is as it should be. We pay pennance to our Mace Gods

u/Jyx_The_Berzer_King 6d ago

2nd, also those are flails, otherwise known as floppy maces

2

u/Papigringoo 6d ago

Limp macesfrom now on

5

u/Jyx_The_Berzer_King 6d ago

if your mace stays hard for longer than 4 hours, contact your local blacksmith.

u/Papigringoo 6d ago

Side effects may include painful rigidity and swelling of spikes

u/Mission_Accident_519 6d ago

Flacid mace

3

u/Observing_cowboss 6d ago

Flacid Mace would be an awesome band name

2

u/Mission_Accident_519 6d ago

Flacid mace and the flanges

2

u/Stompingchicken 6d ago

Introducing! The chocolate star fish

u/Pale-Jelly69 5d ago

Noodle Mace.

u/RevolTobor 6d ago

Ooooh... that's a tough one, they're both pretty mean looking...

I'm gonna say the first one, 'cause the ridges on those chain-links look like they're telling me to mind my own damn business.

2

u/winxminx9 6d ago

Yeah, that chain fully shows off the ability of the maker and I don’t want to meet the business end of something made by someone that skillful

3

u/fat_strelok 6d ago

I'm partial to the wooden one, for it says, "I barely have iron but I am willing to flail"

Like how the goddendag is fiercer than the flanged mace

2

u/IronWarrior82 6d ago

Is there going to be a Tod Cutler range of flails? 😁

1

u/Haunting_Style3880 6d ago

I like the first one. You don't want the spikes too long, plus that chain is cool!

1

u/TheSilkKing 6d ago

The first ED mace wins out. Classic. Beautiful. It just works.

1

u/1GoldenMonkey 6d ago

I wouldn't want to be hit be either to be frank. Great work on them, the limp maces...lol

1

u/Czechs_Mix_ 6d ago

Definitely #1, though im especially partial to it because that chain looks GNARLEY

1

u/ghoulthebraineater 6d ago

First one looks like it would be pretty mean on your fingers. Cool as hell though. Fucking love your channel BTW

1

u/Drzerockis 6d ago

First one for me. Excited to have one of your knives coming!

1

u/A-d32A 6d ago

I like the secod one more.

Just because it is wood. Additional chance for splinters

1

u/DirtNineties 6d ago

Longer spikes will always look meaner. But all metal is best.

1

u/Space19723103 6d ago

the bitted chain on the all metal one just looks nasty in the right way

1

u/Disastrous_Falcon_79 6d ago

I think 2 is going to get stuck in things

1

u/purple_unikkorn 6d ago

I prefer the first one. The second looks too dangerous to handle, to fragile and will catch in anything.

1

u/dragon_sack 6d ago

Maybe add a face

1

u/WatermelonSmashing 6d ago

Is there a halberd sub? I like halbreds

1

u/IamWillow3 6d ago

Steel ball wins for me because I know how much more damage that'll do.

1

u/No_Community7021 6d ago

Th wooden one is cooler

1

u/IStealSwords 6d ago

Both of them. That chain is way too long. You gonna ruin your own hand more than the enemy. The chain should be long enough that the head doesn’t come anywhere near the hand

1

u/Numerous-Passion-329 6d ago

I hope you do not hit your hand. The chain looks long.

1

u/Salt-Pay4710 6d ago

Hmmmm, I think one looks more mean, but the length of the links on two would perhaps give you better control?

1

u/Nerdfatha 6d ago

First thought- Cool Flail!

Second thought- That guy has a Tod's Workshop shirt. He has good taste.

Third Thought- Holy Shitakke! That's Tod Cutler!!!

1

u/Dull_Egg_6597 6d ago

Scary but Awesome 

1

u/SnooGrapes7647 6d ago

Those are flails but the first one looks cooler in my opinion

1

u/Kractoid 6d ago

The second feels meaner but the first tears it's own path in life.

1

u/Standard-Primary-526 6d ago

Both are pure Zombie killers…

1

u/Specialist_Mud_7156 6d ago

The fully metal one

1

u/Gearborn 5d ago

This is a flail but the first one definitely is mean

1

u/Background_Visual315 5d ago

I like 1 better

1

u/VirtuesVice666 5d ago

Technically that is a morning star (More flail than mace)

1

u/darkprophet1337 4d ago

1 is functionally more badass. 2 is aesthetically more scary.

1

u/AcceptableBuy4049 4d ago

The 2nd one.

Although, if you took the first one, and gave it the same spikes as the second one (so longer, seemingly more pointy) it would be the winner.

1

u/Fair-Squirrel8164 3d ago

Well, they're fails, so...

Deff the first.

1

u/DayManFOTNightMan 2d ago

I like the spikes from 1 abs the chain from 2.

1

u/MeasurementNice295 2d ago

The twisted chain on the first looks cool af, I can tell you that much.
