Hey All, Yep, I am still around and kicking. I don't joust or fight any longer, which is good because I have stability issues to go along with my memory issues. This has caused a few more concussions (think I am 18 or so) and a nasty case of aphasia (the inability to find a word when speaking or wri...

Lloyd

Frank, let me know if I can write anything for you or help out in any way. I still owe you, Brother!

Lloyd

Hey Lloyd, how are you doing? I just want you to check in and confirm you are OK. Doing okay, Aaron, thanks for checking. As I stated earlier, I have been diagnosed with repetitive concussion syndrome, which has led, directly, to me losing at least 4 career positions since 2005. Not easy by any mea...

Bump!

Thanks for the additional info Lloyd, and i apologize for taking a while to get back to you. After much decision making I would like to purchase the dagger and sword, assuming they are still available. Please let me know how you accept payment and what the cheapest shipping option with either UPS o...

Paladin is right - it looks exactly like the scabbard for the dagger, except that it is longer (of course) - they match pretty well for the "en suite" look. Both blades were sharpened by MRL and they did a pretty good job. The grinds are smooth and straight and should cut very well (I haven't cut wi...

Okay, really need to sell - swords and armour come and go, but supporting your child's dreams are once in a lifetime events.

Hi all, I need to begin getting funds together to get my daughter to national-level track meets, sooooo, I am willing to part (not happily :sad: ) with my brand new MRL European Sword (factory sharpened) and the nearly new, and also sharpened, Sword-hilted Dagger. These two match exceptionally well ...

A PSA- UW Sports Medicine does IMPACT testing, where they take a baseline reading of your mental functions (memory, reaction time, etc). That way, if you are injured, they have something to compare the injured readings to. Of course, most people here are not in the Madison WI area, but it may be wo...

I know this is blasphemy, but a good mouthpiece is also critical in helping to prevent concussions....I learned this WAY too late... Last time I looked at the research (probably 5 years ago) nobody had been able to show that mouth guards had any significant protective effect against concussions. Ha...

One guy in Calontir has retired, and has become disabled from concussions from our combat. That is horrible. I hope that some of the people that have earned respect and authority in our shared insanity might begin to lobby for researching changes to make medieval combat (recreation) a bit safer. It...

I think there was some discussion about him in the book "Who Murdered Chaucer?" by Terry Jones. I own a copy and will look through and see what it has and let you know.

You CANNOT go wrong ordering from Frank! Best quality products and best customer service in our hobby!

:bump: Mikael and his excellent group of armour crafters make some simply stunning (and nearly bullet proof) armour. Admit it, you have always wanted to take the field and have people pass out from the beauty of your armour.... :wink: This is an AWESOME opportunity to own not only a kit of finely cr...

Lloyd

Ahh, Love You Too, Frank!

Now everyone, buy lots from this great guy! You don't have to wait until Small Business Saturday! Frank is one of "our own" and by far the nicest crafter you will ever meet!

Lloyd

Bumping This Because Frank Completely ROCKS!!

I recently picked up an authentic Windlass Sword of General Maximus from the movie Gladiator (not the exceptionally bad knockoffs that have proliferated since MRL discontinued them) in hopes that I could use it to finish out a Post-Roman Briton Cavalry kit I am putting together for school shows. Wel...

Lloyd

Noticed when cleaning the blade that the quillon is a bit loose - dropping price to $160 + shipping.

Have a dagger with matching scabbard, but not matching blade, for $20 + shipping.

Buy both "en suite" and I'll cover shipping!
