I would sell them to you guys on the Archive for my cost which would be about $15 depending on what the prices of rattan was at the time. Actually Hobbs, Brannos usually uses Silo-tan swords. I made many of his. He goes thru them in half the time others would but they last twice as long as regular r...

Relax Noe, This can be easily defeated by one guy with a shield. This will not degrade our fighting to "trench Warfare" If any thing it might make people think twice about picking up a spear for static battles. Its just like any other combat archery. By the way... Sir Edward made this as close as he...

Great site.

Are you going to have any of the cast Quillions at War this year??

I was playing with a sword Brannos made that had a set of the square ones with a pommel and it was amazing!!!
It gave the sword INCREDIBLE balance.

I want to pick up a set or two.

Actually I fight with a center grip as well.
An oval.

I just used the term "strap it on" to be humorous, and as an analogy to represent picking up a shield.

Please do not be upset by this comment because I think that most of what you have done here is outstanding, however it looks like you did not spend as much time and care on making the visor for your helm as you did for the rest of the work.

I took a thrust to the throat during fight practice and it gagged me slightly but my helm is low enough that it protects me from most blows.
I wear a dog collar that is 16 oz leather with 1/4 inch padding on the inside.

I agree whole-heartedly with Phillip. Attitudes are changing.
