I'll go ahead and make a thread with my kit in the armour construction area. And yes, there is armour in that pic. Not sure if that was a silly comment about all the women, or the fact that most of my armour is just padding

They'd be more visible if I had my greaves on. :oops:

Dags are so much fun.

When a gentle is knighted, it is a common custom for the crown to give them their "last unanswered blow."
This can range from a tap for the sake of tradition, to a blow they will feel for a few days.

I think the good Duke's pat in the picture is good for a week... :shock:

That is Sir Kenrick reciving. Sir Kenrick was and is my squire-brother. We are proud of him, for sure. I was there in person. The ceremony for Sir Kenrick and the other two knights was as moving as a wedding.

It is in every kingdom but the style varies. In some kingdoms, the target is the face, in others, it's the shoulder.

In the middle of a match, I here some girls walk by saying, "What are they doing? Oh my god, are they LARPing?!"

One girl insisted on getting a pic with me, so a lady in our group offered to take one for me as well

just out of curiosity do you ever get comment son the white dags being mistaken for a belt?

I would hope people would recognize the amount of work put into that kit and decide to not be peckerheads about something that is obviously a non-issue

A pic from a local SCA-event in -07 in a Viking longhouse... I took a bunch of pics, but this particular one captured the light through the smoke in a nice way.

Either of you guys have Ken's contact info? We haven't heard from him since he left Citadel here in the Outlands!
