<img src="http://www.revival.us/ProductImages/WMA_02_flextip.jpg"> Each tip flexes as the head is hollow for part of its length. The tip will compress on impact, or fold with a less perfect strike, easing the force communicated to your partner. Beyond polearms, the tip can be used effectively as a s...

Re: What does "Looking good on the field" do for y

Where I have found halfswording to work within SCA combat is when I have been legged. This allows me to block better and have a greater control of my weapon to strike from this position. Also as Cet has it on the money about it's range within SCA combat and the fact that you can switch back and forth.

I have used both swords, and I own the knight's sword (c481). Both are well balanced. However if you are planning on doing dual sword work with them I would recommend the knight's sword over the viking, as you will want the longer quillions for protection.

Yeah there is something odd here. They are selling Deepeeka items way below wholesale costs. :?:
In fact when comparing them to my price list, most items are almost half of wholesale prices. This may explain certain ebay listings though.
