Huzzah! Magnus does beautiful work. I don't own any of his stuff but i know fighters who use it and i have seen it in action. Looks great and protects extremely well from what i have seen and been told. Also he has been a great resource to me personally, for leather working tips and tricks. Really g...

Varukh

best of luck buddy. I look forward to dawning the cross you made me.

Varukh

well butted is all i had at the time. I have used butted for about a year and i have hated having to repair it practically every time i fight. Now i no longer have that problem. Broke it in today at fighter practice.

was a lot of fun and the new maille really made my kit look a LOT better.

Varukh

yep. I finally got to put on the quality chainmaille that the helmet deserves. No more butted crap! Wow, I find your attitude towards butted mail to be unprofessional, and if not offensive, certainly elitist. (^_^) Ha! well played. lol Its not that i'm elitist, i'm just lazy and don't like repairin...

I went through quite a bit to get that helm.
Sir Kazimir Konstantinov set me on task to get that helm. It was a great experience and i hope one day to meet him in person to thank face to face.

NSS...takes one to know one!

this is getting out of hand.

The guarontee is really what sold me on his maille. Sure he might be a little too blunt and opinionated on the gauge subject, and For all I know the guy could be a total jerk, but his customer service was good and the product I received was worth the money and worth my praise here on the AA.

Varukh

Meh...he makes a good product regardless of attitude towards questions of gauge.

Varukh

Finally scraped up enough pennies to purchase an aventail that i don't have to repair after every fight. After some research i decided to order a long SS aventail from Master Knuut. I must say his service is 5 stars all around, great communication, and the shipping was incredibly fast. I can't wait ...

Varukh

God that is a beautiful helm!

Varukh

This Shield is a collabrative effort...I did the shield, the painting was done by HG Duke Aaron, and Sir Tighnernan made the fluted shield boss. We are gifting this as a prize for the tourney to be held at Sport of Kings. Sir Kazimir Konstantinov that is one awesome shield Sir! I have a new one in ...

Varukh

Thanks for the advertising Christoph.

Hamish If you are interested just pm me and let me know what you are looking for in a pair of bazubands and gaunts and we can work something out.
Many thanks,
Varukh

Varukh

I can make you a pair of these: http://forums.armourarchive.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=136950 I don't have a pic of one but i can make a detachable thumb covering for use with center grip shields. (made upon request only for $5 more) It is an extra piece of leather that attaches with elastic...

Varukh

Would like one like that. Been looking for Rus style hardware.

that is very impressive! I think your son has a better kit that i do! Very nice.

Varukh

I also make half gauntlets for $75 a pair. they are sewn directly onto a pair of gloves. you can see them here:
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=136950

Varukh

Those were $125. Takes about 2-3weeks turnaround depending on how many orders I have and how busy my mundane job has me.
Thanks,
Varukh

Varukh

thanks for the kind words Hjalmr.

I will get your bazubands to you when i see you at the Axemore event at the end of the month. Look forward to getting those knees from you so i can lighten up my leg harness.
best regards,
Varukh

Varukh

they will be in the mail Monday. i will contact you with a tracking number after they ship. thanks again for your order.
Varukh

Varukh

figured it would be a long shot. :/

Varukh

Thank you.

Varukh

just checking to see if anyone has one used. I know i can get one from Master Knutt but i wanted to see if someone may have one just laying around collecting dust that i might be able to purchase and have shipped to me in the very near future. If not i guess i'm off to order a new one. thanks, Varukh

Varukh

your order is ready to ship. here they are:

I hope they last you for a long time and serve you well.
many thanks,
Varukh

Varukh

if you post pics i will spread the word to some of my buddies that might be interested. Prices would help as well.

Varukh

you trying to sell the kit as a whole or are you selling pieces?

Varukh

Beautiful helmet so far man. WOW!

Varukh

I know where i'm getting my sword fittings.

Sweet design.

I'm kinda interested in a possible plague Dr. kit and wondering if anyone has ever done some sort of plague Dr kit. lets say Italian 1600's I have always been intrigued by them and was wondering if anyone has done a kit for heavy combat or just for a soft kit just for show. Also could it be done as ...
