he also has a fiberglass spear for salefrom icefalcon. with the windrose spera tip kit. he used it 2 times prefers sword and shield. hence ditching the dagger. if anyone is interested in the spear he can deliver it do great western war in caid or maybe highland war. and he say to just make an offer.

Heath B fraychef

what type of finger gauntlets are you looking for? hourglass, wisby or something else. does it matter? you can check out allan at the mercenarys tailor. ice falcon has excellent customer service, the price is a bit higher but the quality and service are worth it. some of the eastern european guys do...

Heath B fraychef

How's your mom's basement by thew way and when was the last time she washed your bedding for you? Or do you stick to it? seriously? i must be missing the j...

Heath B fraychef

ok, my son who is 9 decided he wants to do a greek persona. i know where i can get a nice helm done for youth combat but im lost as far as the rest of the kit goes. can anyone point me in the right direction for garb, body armor and footwear? i can do the body armor myself if i know what to make. an...

Heath B fraychef

just a side note the $500.00 price on matts gauntletts are a very good deal.
just shop around you'll see.

That bike was almost worth what I make in a month. That's like any average person having a car stolen. If I EVER see someone riding it, I will cut them so bad.... they'll wish I didn't cut them so bad. But seriously, the bike had some modifications that made it rather distinct, and if I see it, I w...

Heath B fraychef

my heart goes out to you.

i still look for it.

Heath B fraychef

wait, what?!
there was a sword?

ive gone back and looked dozens of times and still cant see any swords.

Heath B fraychef

my phrygian on my son.

Heath B fraychef

i love mine as well but i has a seam come apart after the second time i used them.
no ripping so it was an easy fix.
the seam just came right out.
other than that one pair the rest of the items i recieved are great.
highly reccomend.

Heath B fraychef

my wife will be recieving one pair of these shoes.
what can i do to reduce the slickness of the sole?

Heath B fraychef

weekend is over.
still waiting for pics.

Heath B fraychef

thats pretty sweet.
i really like how perfeclt you got the cheek plates to match up.
good job.

Heath B fraychef

well not bad for such little research then.

Heath B fraychef

not bad, looks alot like the helmets a friend and i made some 20 odd yers ago. the fukigaeshi (sp?) should be the top shikoro on the helm just extended and folded back. instead of a seperate piece riveted on. it also looks like they set a little high. and maybe its just the angle of the picture but ...

Heath B fraychef

they dont cover the fingers completely and they offer zero protection for the wrist so by themselves they will not be sufficient.

Heath B fraychef

could you not just order them from stonekeep?
or do they not offer what you were looking for?

Heath B fraychef

do you have any idea of what type of kit you are trying to put together? you can get by with a decent hidden kit pretty inexpensively. you can find knee and elbow cops for around 10$ a pair at stonekeep armory. let us know exactly ( or at least kinda) what you are looking for and maybe we can be of ...

Heath B fraychef

i might be interested.

Heath B fraychef

the seller is in england if that helps any?

Heath B fraychef

we had a regional duke who used to toy with the knewbies by ducking way down below the shield of the opponent then when they would peek over he popped up and head butted them.

Heath B fraychef

windrose has some pommels that arent too expensive 20$ or so.

Heath B fraychef

just remember you cant please everybody. some people will complain no matter what. some people will not like the shoes they get. some may say they recieved something other than what they ordered. some people will say its taking too long. but not everybody. im sure that when the order is delivered mo...
