Yojimbo

Mine are purpose built Kydex cuisse, sewn to some deep hockey knees with added plastic to cover the side of the knees.

Yojimbo

we now have classified police ?

Yojimbo

not to derail the thread, but the topic reminded me... I've heard mixed reviews on the plastic lamellar. Reports of heavy shots breaking the plates and resulting injury afterwords. I've also heard folks laud the stuff as "great, everyone should use it". As a larger fella lamellar can get ...

True, but its also the light side, as in 1/3 lighter than my brass calontir trim shirt in weight.
Much better for my game knee right now.

Yojimbo

Ok, I've got some great calontir trim lammelar. It's a tank. I am thinking of putting together a lighter shirt, and thought I would test the waters here first. Anyone have 300-350 Newcastle plates they want to sell, preferably in pewter or gold, maybe another metal or leather like color ? Not lookin...

Yojimbo

Damn you guys buy everything, trying to get my rig back together on the field. Don't mind bidding against you guys but damn seems like you guys live here. If these guys don't buy let me know because I need the plates. After reading this I thought it might have come off wrong. Not trying to talk any...

Alright, I think I could squeeze what I want out of this, I am cutting it too close. I already have some good lammelar so let it go to next in line.

Dibs lamellar pending size

Yojimbo

Eikbrandr, I've been a Bladesmith for about 18 years. I'd be willing to trade blanks (even damascus ones) for lamellar plates. Here's some samples of my past work... http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn114/clueX4_graphics/photos2/rrs6a-1.jpg http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn114/clueX4_graphics...

Shipping included ?

Yojimbo

I emailed RFH last week, he responded in less than a day. Emailed him Sunday night requesting an order invoice, still haven't heard back.

Yojimbo

Still looking

I look forward to the klibanion. Pleasure to deal with you. Now just stop beating me to all the good deals lately.

Yojimbo

Wulfgar, I thought about doing it that way too, but look at the profile pic: that nasal already has quite an obvious bend in it to fit it to the grill. Throwing in yet another bend that would give it a Z-shaped profile would look bad. I figure just keeping things at one bend -- indeed, flattening t...

Yojimbo

Any updates? I have been watching E Bay and haven't found it yet...

Yojimbo

Those gauntlets look familiar...

What are the knee / elbow cops made of ?

Just heard from him last week. Took 1 day respond
