I would like to know how people can read this post and not laugh. Unless there are real questions answered (who/what/where/when/why) then its just internet gossip, bullshit thats rolled downhill from a snowball to an avalanche. I am sure those who know the Chiv of the East will know that such a tac...

four or five more posts and the story will be that the guy had his cup ripped off and was neutered with a small curved knife on the field by members of the chivalry who keep him silent by threatening worse punishments

c'mon folks.

Not sure personally one way or the other, but I will say that there isn't a white or red belt on or around long isand who would bring a cutting blade on the field

mordreth

If it's the jerk I'm thinking of he had a habit of wearing ecru or cream colored sashes under a belt - sometimes rude and stupid hurt, but I know the guys out here and nothing bladed would be on the field.

Do you seriously think a knife or scissors were brought onto the field by knights or squires?

took me a bit to dig this up m Question What shows that the owner of a jawshan has the mastery of its use and other such skills? Answer A man must dedicate himself to putting on his jawshan by himself, even if the sleeves and lower part are separate, until he can do this rapidly on his own. Note The...

Um . . . are you really sure you WANT to know what he was doing with the duck?

I rarely do comission work, but I am currently so grotesquely out of training that I am down to an 181/2 inch neck, and the muscles across my back are pretty much even with the base of my jaw so The trick to designing a template is that the gorget cannot be a straight strap, it has to be done as a &...

I have a couple of arming caps that I keep for on the field use, the coif will be much more comfy with one on. For multi day events having more than one arming cap is a very good thing, it gives you the chance to at least rinse out, if not wash the one worn the day before, which greatly reduces the ...

I couldn't find the article I was looking for last night, there is a good discussion on this at m you can pick up other threads by searching oilcloth & oilskin at the same site.

NY you can have a pistol & two out of three flint.caps powder ball
once you have a pistol and flint/caps, lead, and ball it's a handgun

We can't work it out either. Here are some pics of my flintlock cavalry carbine. It is as heavily regulated and licensed as a modern high powered rifle.
