ok, cool. every person has their own walk in life. i have two aluminum cup hilts that ive had and used for better than 13 years that have very little damage save the way the tangs were attached (i replaced them with "T" shaped tangs). i have also never had a plastic hilt not cave in when s...

dukelogan

all depends on who you buy your metal hilts from. ours are 6061 T6 aluminum and 12ga 404 grade stainless. unlike those plastic hilts ours cover your hands, wont collapse when hit, and look super sexy. ;^) but i know what you mean about most of the metal cup hilts offered today and how they dent. usu...

sad face?! really......

i will be there and will honor the price if we have any left. if you want to go ahead and pay for one on the website i will have it with me for you to pick up so you dont risk us running out. i will be slumming since we have to take the crv so you will have to excuse the ez-up (or i will just sit in...

our shipment of lamellar and cup hilts are ready to ship (finally!) and we should have all of them in stock in the next 30-45 days. both ebonwoulfe armory and icefalcon armory will be fully stocked with aluminum hilts and lamellar as well as stainless hilts and hardened brass lamellar. for now we ha...

dukelogan

ebonwoulfe armory and icefalcone armory are partnered on those. we expect delivery in the next 45 days. once we can figure out all of the costs we can come up with a fair price for this super product. regards logan truly hardened brass is a rather big process. it involves pressing the brass under ex...

dukelogan

truly hardened brass is a rather big process. it involves pressing the brass under extreme weight while it is in a vacuum. then the material is vibrated. at least thats how our manufacturer does it. he says it has to be cut first, then hardened. we carry 22 ga hardened brass plates and the sample pi...

wellllll there is another option. the few times ive had someone grab my spear (and i rarely fight with one) that i wasnt able to simply jerk it out of their grasp i have pulled them towards me. usually they let go. however, i have had one or two occasions in which they didnt and ive spun myself arou...

dukelogan

can they cover themselves with thier shield or use thier weapon to prevent your weapon from being laid across them? regards logan why not just strike them? regards logan Because this is a chivalric fighting game. Because they are prone and unable to defend themselves. If you don't have time to lay t...

dukelogan

why not just strike them? regards logan It's actually irrelevant to western kingdoms since we have Declared Dead on the Ground. If anyone requires more than 2-3 people you can just run him over. The rule is only really applicable to 'legged' opponents anyway. People don't usually last long enough to...

i think their water is clean of the stupid scary "oh my damn, getting hit might maybe could kill someone for realZ" taint. at least thats what i think it is. i mean, they have hit hard for years. they have thrusted to the face hard for years. yet...... ummmmm..... nobody is dead? wtf mate!...

dukelogan

im a righty. guy on his knees is a righty (lefties are very easy for me to hit). bottom left of his shield (by my eyes) is where i make a little push in a downward motion. no way at all it could ever hit your leg or your gut. i employ that rare trick of control!! see, the brain is an easy thing to c...

if folks want to accept light taps or light thrusts they can, for whatever reason they wish. the problem is when they expect others to buy into the notion that such things would be fight enders and then call them cheaters. when they base their opinion on this belief that the human body is so fragile...

dukelogan

the sad thing is that here, like every time the subject comes up, folks still embrace this "what if, might have, could maybe, if it was olny" argument when it supports the crazy idea that the human body is fragile. the notion of light face shots, light face thrusts, is really silly. the ev...

all fiberglass pipes have a top coat of uv clearcoat. ours have a life expectency of +38 years in direct sunlight. that is, by the way, the industry standard. all fiberglass pipes are made the same way. the core wraps are either "natural" which is an off white or colored. all interior colo...

if your grille gets hit by my sword your head is lying on the ground. i push the bottom left side of the shield (right if youre a lefty). regards logan As usual, the RAW are not clear here. I have always "played it": 1) you MAY thrust at a weapon or shield if your weapon has a thrusting ti...

see. the whole "if it did this" strikes again. sure, i would probably grab my eye which would give you time to strike your killing technique. but the face (defined as being from the brow to the sideburns to th collarbone. or did that last part change?) is a big area with the eyes being but...

dukelogan

and this displays the mindset that i think is more detrimental than enhancing. the opinion that it doesnt take much of a strike to the face to take someone out of a fight coupled with the notion that someone that accepts a light shot thats clean is somehow more honorable than someone who calls a lig...

dukelogan

yep. another rule that has no bearing on "safety" since it is each of us that which makes our game "safe" and needs to be gotten rid of. i mean really, who determined that five dudes were magically "unsafe" but somehow four are?? makes no sense at all. its as stupid as ...

dukelogan

goofy video. forearm strength has ero to do with punching power. mma is such a huge money and interest draw that it doesnt surprise me they would suggest striking benifits. rope, tie to the center of a shoulder width pole, tie other end to weight. roll up from floor to parallel arm position. hold fo...

he didnt say he strikes with the haft. i assumed he means a push. regards logan He doesn't have to take those, they're haft. I don't mind being moved with the flat of the shield, or if you place your shield edge where it is hard for me to move w/o striking it (Ansteorra allows placing your shield in...

dukelogan

actually the reason there are weight classes in boxing has nothing to do with that. the simple truth is that little folk wont beat big folk in striking. its the fact that makes me nuts when i meet women who tell me how they can "protect" themsleves because they (and usually their 7 year ol...

deflection is one thing. what you describe sounds like grappling to me. not being there i dont know, just going by what i imagine based on your description. i think there is a fine line. ive had several folks over the years grab me from behind for example. usually the seem to be trying to do some si...

for those demonoid members there is one episode (slings and arrows) available. says its from the history channel. regards logan The one reason I watch "Deadliest Warrior": the chance to see what 'our' weapons could do to a human... or at least an analog. Have you seen the series 'Perfect W...

im just guessing. i dont think hrh has stated anything about the format or any additional rules. if so i would guess it would probably just be no face thrusting. if i were to guess. regards logan its too often used as a crutch and too often leads to sloppy fighting. crown should be a showcase of ski...

dukelogan

sad thing is that our rules dumb down the effort required to best someone to the point some feel mere contact or even light contact is all that is needed. this, done under some false notion of safety, provides the crutch that causes so many fighters to look like crazed monkeys imitating a sewing mac...

of course. doesnt keep the fight from being sloppy and unskilled.
