PM sent regarding both breastplates

Noe

Please yes!

Sebastion: The exception and not the rule. Yes it is not commonplace, yet it is still a comment that I have heard from time to time, particularly when folks are teaching newbies about the leg wound system (as in, "You know, it's weird, but some people fight better from their knees"). A better exampl...

love fighting from my knees. its much much easier to defend myself and my opponents stop running away. i dont mind a guy that legs me with a polearm or greatsword staying out of my weapons reach. why wouldnt he? afterall he earned the advantage and did it with an inferior weapons system. i will do ...

I'll have to check my records, but I believe that htis is the lady who promised me my gambeson for Pennsic (quite a while before Katrina, I might add). Never got the goods, and was out $200. I won't trust her until my gambeson shows up.

Noe

Nope, they are still not coming up on mine. Also, no link to the articles section. ah well.

Noe

You seem to have lost your list of links on the left side of your site (most particularly the "contact" link, which is the one I have been trying to find

).

Noe

While we are at it, how much for the arms?

Noe

Paul,

1st: Do you have any pics of the back of the breastplate?

2nd: Have you already sent my legs and half-guants off?

3nd: If no, then maybe we should add the breastplate.

4th: If yes, then please send me the shipping info.

I have conditioned my body to function comfortably with decreased volume of oxygen. IMO, that is the most important part of living an active life with asthma. It is both attitude and physical conditioning. The constrictive, choking, out-of-breath feel prompts most people to become anxious or panic....

<cracks knuckles> Funny you should ask about this. Starting last spring, I found myself having increasing trouble with my wind during practice. As the temperatures rose, it got increasingly worse until I was truly suffering after only 4 or 5 bouts. I was exhausted, chest burning, and had developed a...

PM sent: I'm taking the whole shebang. Avalon's armoury increases.

Noe

I'm interested. how would you take payment? For those of us in Japan, paypal is best.

Noe

I like want it. Gotta have it.

Noe

I am very interested, and I will be contacting you directly tonight when I return from work.

Kilkenny said: But that falls under "fluke injury" and could just as well have happened when you stepped to close into range for a shot, or off the curb while walking to or from the grocery store. The injury is certainly not trivial, I appreciate such things, but the circumstances under which that s...

I'm a bit cautious about falling down now since I damaged a tendon in my left knee falling after a blow a few years ago. As I was falling, my foot slid out from underneath me and my knee made a nasty popping sound. No fighting for three months after that and a leg brace for even longer.

Noe

Welder, you need to "find" that zombie killing manuscript and publish it. It was the funniest thing that I've read all week.

Noe

Which wrap? There are lots of shots called wraps in the SCA and some are just like some historical moves. I will have to break the book open to give you the specific but when taking Tobler's class I thought, well there goes the old wraps don't exist argument. To be clear the historical move like a ...

Noe

Look folks it is not that bloody difficult. It is not about what isn't, it is about what is. Simple question. What historical styles and techniques do you see in SCA armoured combat. Provide evidence (contempory accounts, historical manuals, etc) Lack of evidence is not good enough. Quote: Whoops, ...

Stupid longsword tricks: dupliere really does look like a magic trick. A rising krumpau from right nebenhaut often comes up under the guy's shield -- start in right neb., flip over to left neb. and swing up while running to the right. Do not stop running or the guy will tag you if you didn't connect...

Noe

I like to think that I have had some success getting Ringeck/Lichtenhauer longsword to work well in SCA context. Zwerckhau, krumphau, and dupliere are solid, useful technques.

Noe

Also, if I give you the extra cash, do you have any problem with shipping to Tokyo?

Noe

I'm interested, but I am worried about the fingertips. They look awfully exposed. The gadlins and finger plates look too flat to protct you well. comments?

Noe

sorry guys, no camera, and, besides, I haven't installed it onto the helm yet.

Noe

I send him money and a few days later, a quality product (in this case a SS welded aventail) shows up on my door. It is so nice to deal with professionals.

Thanks Knuut!

Noe

I will only ship this to the continental US. My apologies to folks that live in the far off distant lands, but I hate dealing with the postal service

crap. never mind. I should read more carefully.

Noe

$200. It is small and pretty round; perfect for the Avalon folks.

Noe

Cet,

I am definitely interested. Please send me a pic as well to jmnoyes@nifty.com

Thanks!

Noe

Try using the 'add to cart' button after the description. I think you must have hit the one just above the description ($1500 for 10 long aventails). I have 12 'shorts' sitting in their little boxes just waiting for someone like you to order one. Ha! That might well be it. I am sometimes slow to an...

Noe

Folks, some of us overseas want to give you money in exchange for services. Please follow the advice on this website so we can send you email. Thanks!

<never mind, that website had bad information. I'll keep looking>

Noe

Master Knuut, I tried to purchase another of your short welded SS aventails, but your shopping cart tried to charge me $1,500. Somehow, I don't think that you have raised your prices that much. Please let me know how I can place an order. Also, when I tried to send you email, my email was bounced.

Noe

Oh I absolutely love my mail. It is interesting how much better protected you feel especially if you were fighting in leather before. You still feel impact but the sting is almost completely gone. That armpit shot that used to really really feel special is almost completely gone because of the stre...

Noe

Weird. Ashcraft Baker is one of the few armourers that I _haven't_ had trouble with. I swear, it seems like everyone else has done me over at one time or another, but A-B seemed to always deliver on time.

Noe

Lord Wade: I would like to discuss this crossbow and other items with you privately. Please check your private messages; I will give you my email there.

Why I like dealing with Master Knuut
