We just picked up 3 camp knives from http://www.revival.us/
I love them, the turn around was 4 days and the product is great, the pictures donÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t do them justice!

Ceddie

Brennus,
Could you please post armor and weapons requirements for your Pas?
A few of the companions of The Company of Saint Jude will be there and we would like to stand as venans it we can pass muster.

Ceddie

Andy, I'll take the belt if it's still up for grabs!

Work is tough, I'll Pay pal you tonight if you can confirm.

The siloflex tubing holds up wonderfully. The lathed down rattan inside the tube turns to powder after a few practices. I've put "skin-on" rattan inside the siloflex for pell work, and while the siloflex still looks pristine. The rattan inside is already visably cracked after a couple weeks of nigh...

We allow it in Trimaris, if you get 5 ft extra, I'll buy it from you!

Ceddie

Steve,
Will this be aval. in xl? If so, when will you want $$ and how many will we need to make it worth you while to order?

HRH Gaston's and Count Yoan's poleaxe pass was one of the best fights I've seen. Ever. I'll try to scan some pics if I can make the scanner work.

This rumor was confirmed. As of October, siloflex will no longer be legal on swords. The rumor is that the current SEM will submit the new rule book to the BoD without allowances for siloflex. That DOES NOT mean that they will accept the rule! Besides, the new rule book hasnÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t even been subm...

Now I'm probably going to put this poorly, but when I have been wearing thin soled turnshoes the thing that helped me out the most was to change the way I walked. In a period shoe I end up walking like I do barefoot -- moving mostly on the balls of my feet, rather than with the heel to toe rocking ...

any word yet?

Rock on!
Score one for the home team!!!

Does it look like the bowl is tilted from the plane of the middle of the stem to any of you? How about the mold? Tell me fresh sets of eyes, looking at the evidence, is the bowl in the same plane? My wife and I were gifted some reproduction spoons just this last weekend (from m ) and they are on th...

The fighter in the foreground is Lodwig from the Barony of Tyr-a-don he's their archery champion; that day was the first time I'd made his aquaintence. as for my harness. It is lovlingly cared for. a better picture of my harness Both of you are wearing and caring for your harnesses in a manner that...

Ceddie

I think the point that Sir Mord was making was that the kits both look very new, which may be a sign that the men wearing then may also be very new as well. It may also be a sign that both men take very good care of their gear!

Ceddie

For the peanut gallery: just 'cause YOU don't like fighting square and flat footed doesn't make it wrong! Your shield: to me, it looks liky you activly blocked in and high (are you checking his shield into his body?) then while leaving the block in place, it looks like youre shifiting your weight lo...

It's a step in the right direction, that is for sure!!!

Not ringing any bells but I can ask around if you like.

Ceddie

[quote] Funny you should ask. I have not been able to find plaque belt plaques that were affordable (especially when you need 18 to 25 plaques for a belt) or that where personalizable. So I decided to make my own. At the same time Count Reese asked me if I had a way to make plaque belts. We teamed u...

If you're just reasonably committed to your activity, you'll end up just being reasonably good at it. If you want to be unreasonably good at it, you're going to have to be unreasonably committed.

This is good, mind if I borrow it?

Ceddie

If you could, what one piece of ugly assed Sca armour or convention or whatever would you ban outright?

Tasha,
If I may ask, where has this been published and when/who approved it?

Ceddie

what size are the arms and legs?

Ceddie

Find a trainer you can work with and TRUST THEM!! Don't spend 1/2 of practice telling them how you think it would work better if you did this instead of what they want you to do. Remember the KISS theory? (keep it simple stoopid) It works. spins... flying jump shots... between the legs, made you loo...

the revival kids shoes are fine. We have a wee lady in our group who has feet small enough to use them (kids 5) and she has no problem.

I'd love to see pics when the kit is done!

Ceddie

Ceddie

Thanks for the links, Ceddie! I think I'm going to get a pair of Revival's shoes, along with an arming cap from them... So, I guess this thread wasn't very long lived, 'eh? Cheers! -Gregory- I can't recommend the Revival shoes enough for the SCA 14c kit. They have the right lines, they are VERY com...

Here are a few sites that may help,

Plantagenet and shields and shoes are the only ones that I haven't delt woth and they are all good!

Hope this helps!!

as for the apparant ramping up of firce levels, yeah, it's happening. I remember singing the Berzark Rag years ago, and the force levels then were WAY lower than they are now. freiman I would like to offer another perspective on the topic of us (the SCA as a whole) hitting harder as time goes on. I...

once again ...personal responsibility not legislation I agree with this statement. But I don't believe that everyone will maintain self discipline and keep everyone else safe.

Wow, I remember those days. I think you and I learned how to inspect from the same school.

As with so many things we do, the issue is intent. If I get whacked in the bag 'cause I was open, my bad. If someone is trying to hurt me... problem. And I have thanked people for going light to the cup. I've also thaked a fellow who hit me REALLY HARD in the cup for helping me up and to the sidelin...

Ceddie

My technique suffers from lazy practice. I can fire for effect with just my arm and/or shoulder so I can get sloppy with how I throw my shots if I am not carefull.

Ceddie

I hear him saying that some cheaters have helped turn this into a safety issue.

BTW: Can this be proven or just implyed. Can it be shown that siloflex is easier to cheat with than rattan by itself?

Ceddie

And when people cheat (and some people do cheat) they endanger other participants. I don't see Sir Rey implying that we would all cheat if the marshalate was not in place. I hear him saying that some cheaters have helped turn this into a safety issue. Jester read the last bit: ...then why do we hav...
