I like it and respect them, but I still think they are idiots. The potential for brain damage and severe hand or eye injuries is too great. The question was raised lots of times in the previous threads, but I guess I have to repeat once again: In order to avoid injuries one has to have really high ...

What dimensions (for what head size) and what thickness of steel are the Pigface helm and the Klappvisor? I'm assuming they are both mild steel? The helmets are for about 60 cm head around. The steel is 2.5 mm on top and 1.5 mm on visor. No, it's NOT mild steel, it's cold-rolled steel (St3) which i...

No, just outer side of the palm which is not fixed is padded; the fingers are not, there are protected with steel lamellas on the outer side, the inner side is covered with thick leather.

Natalia, can you please confirm that there is _no_ minimum weight for swords and other weapons? ... Could you please confirm that this is a mis-translation?
