the advance order sale on our lamellar is about to end. i know a few folks have emailed and asked about shipping costs. the website, m , shows the sale prices and they include shipping to the lower 48. you still need to email for shipping costs if you are outside the lower 48. the brass lamellar sal...

none of the knights i know think this, and i know a whole lot of knights. blocking with the weapon is, well, blocking with the weapon. logan Legal, but most consider it a low level of skill technique. Most... not really. Balin[/quote] You are actually probably right. Most of the Knights I know do. B...

was this in response to something in particular?

davin did inspire my creation of "fat bastard" but it was the thumb injury (around the time havorc won crown) that forced me to change things around. since my thumb/hand knuckle was torn in half i could not grip with my thumb for over a year. i needed something that hit hard enough but i c...

if you read the entire thread you will see that a question was asked about trying something. it was pointed out, several times, that the idea was a violation of the rules and has been for decades. still, the question was repeated and pounded into the dust. so, the sem tried to be as succinct as poss...

dukelogan

actually the rates the usps offers with its flat rate boxes shipping really is very easy. for example, the medium box which runs 10.90 can hold a ton of our 50 count plates. the larger box is like 14.90 but, to be honest, if an order that large comes in i will just cover it. our sale will be ending ...

dukelogan

yep, we currently have them offered at 20% off until the end of the month. they will be ready to ship around the 15th may. the sale incudes both our 6061 T6 aluminum plates as well as our super sexy 22ga hardened brass plates. these are the only brass plates that i am aware of that are actually hard...

i think most of your fights can be seen here: m regards logan Just saw this, and um..... wow... thanks. I am both humbled and honored by your words. Having such a positive impact on your GW is now on of my best Fun Experiences of my GW. It was good meeting you; will you be heading to Pennsic Or Blac...

we sould plan a fishing trip/weekend then. not much that i will eat thats freshwater but im game. regards logan Actually looking forward to visiting some of those areas. Hoping to get in some coastal fishing also. Did you say fish?!! South Florida is a long rodders dream come true. If you don't fly ...

dukelogan

going out on a limb my quess is that el captain in the video knows a little something about strikin (although a punch that high doesnt impact a lot of effective force) since he can be heard instructing you, twice, to "keep your teet together". now, there is a huge difference between folks ...

actually thatopens a new tab, shift+click opens a new window. im just lazy and a big fan of non-framed links opening a new window always. regards logan this new archive with the links closing the page instead of opening a new page is shit by the way. Logan, hold down Ctrl when you click on link. It ...

dukelogan

diglachs comment makes a lot of sense as well. i agree that even simply camfering the edge of the plywood is better for fighters skin (same as the tip of rattan needed to be rounded off). i seem to recall the same thing you do about armour damaging fighters as i always found it odd that folks would ...

I do not think that word means what you think it means.

dukelogan

yah i used "padded" to mean "covered". but i have to ask, so rounding a piece of plywood makes it less likely to damage rattan than leaving the factory edge on it? really? it doesnt of course but its odd that we would have a rule like this and not one against some of these helms ...

dukelogan

of course the "guy" in that is half horse. that makes it more wierd. this new archive with the links closing the page instead of opening a new page is shit by the way. at this point its clear that the poster is some kid, has no idea about our sport, and has clearly never been engaged in an...

dukelogan

another failure of our rules is that we have a rule that states the edge of a shield must be padded with something to protect rattan. then, when i went out with a shield made of wood, only wood, i had a couple of marshals argue that i had to have it padded. nevermind that i can chop through plywood ...

whats a "sir mendor"? did i miss something? i think you are correct about punches and kicks in real tourneys. much like pommel strikes (which for some retarded reason folks think are/should be fight enders) they are good for adjusting someone elses balance. regards logan I have fought for ...

dukelogan

as has been mentioned punch weapons werent used in european tourneys. there is a certain level of actual danger in the idea of strapping a sitck of rattan, in line, with the fist and striking with it. a few of us tried it many years ago and, well, we quickly figured out which of us has been trained ...

dukelogan

i woul much rather take a thrusting tip to the throat than have the thrusts force delivered via a metal plate. ive done both and much prefer the latter. now if the throat/neck were weak and in great danger i would probably put a mile of padding around it but since its not i prefer the nice soft tips...

dukelogan

oh, and the crown could side with the fighter. lets not forget to mention that. regards logan In which case the Crown is the top link on the chain of command. True. Once the individual refuses to leave the field and combat is stopped and the Marshallate resources are exhausted, the Seneschals can be...

dukelogan

ha! you beat me to it. i was going to make up some crazy number just for fun. but ok, old man, this is my advice. prep your body the day before just like any fighter (trained) does before a fight. drink lots of water and have two very large meals with complex carbs and some protein. for example, aft...

dukelogan

you will probably be yelled at by a marshal that buys into the current sems way of thinking that its a sin to question a marshal. you might get threatened by some sort of investigation with veiled threats (none ever spoken to you of course) of "possible sanctions" for "interactions wi...

dukelogan

but when somebody is simply wrong, no matter if they are supposed to be "in charge" the right thing to do is to resist, call them on it, educate them, and continue doing what is right. obeying someone who is clearly wrong is a terrible thing to do every time.

logan

dukelogan

in the heads of a few marshals. i think that number is very small but i have seen it enough times to know that it exists. better training and the removal of this "you are in charge of everything" mentality would help. the only way to really end it is to hold them to the same standards of b...

i have a supplier that sells paracord (well, not the brand name paracord but the same material) that sent me samples in 56 colors. im looking at a few choices (red being an obvious one) but its a big investment so im sorta waiting to see how much demand there is for lamellar before i sink that much ...

dukelogan

shipment is expected on 5/2 barring any "random" custom searches. this sale will end at that time.

regards
logan

dukelogan

neat. you make a post stating that i was "lucky" not to be thrown off the field and then you admit that you have no idea what the rules where at the event in question. then you copy only parts of what i stated. i can only assume that your intent was to create ire with your post. marshals d...

dukelogan

it is. highs in the 80s lows in the 70s. thats 9 months out of the year. i think last summer we tickled the upper 90s a few times but we are three blocks from the ocean and there is a breeze constantly. there is that whole hurricane season thing but weve not had one since we moved in. of course when...

dukelogan

interspersed and preceeded by *****LOGAN I have experimented with several spray enamels and clear coats and lacquers, in various amounts of layers, and nothing works amazingly well at protecting a painted surface. I know, its just the nature of the beast, we smash them routinely and that limits the ...

dukelogan

yep, i have video from a crown final where we were forced to fight with "other" weapons (something i hate). we both had great swords and about the eight shot to the guys forearm with him shaking his hand (to indicate hand was hit) you hear me say "dude, ive crushed your gauntlet. do y...

dukelogan

finally! we now have an eta on our stock and we have the stock we demand. eta is 5/2 unless customs pulls one of their "random" searches which will delay things by 4-5 days. ive never had a shipment arrive that wasnt "randomly" searched by customs (and their fees). however, this ...
