This is likely a dumb and crazy question, but to anyone who knows, could you plausibly do Liechtenauer with that new Crecy? I know that's not what it's for, but is it at all feasible?

Why is that a crazy question?
IŽd say that it is pretty much exactly swords like this that Liechtenauer and his contemporaries were using.
My thought initially was that the sword named Talhoffer I should be called "Ringeck" or "Liechtenauer" and the Talhoffer III should be called "Fiore". This is to emphasise the fact that this is most probably the type of sword these guys were primarily referring to in their manuals. (...if you take into considertion halfswording and othr such techniques that include gripping the blade).
