I'm seriously looking at a Cas Hanwei Bascinet from Stephen, and was wondering if any of you have any experience with how they hold up to SCA combat??

Completely off-topic, but.. I was totally about to jump on you for stealing someone else's avatar and heraldry until I noticed the signature :-)

I wouldn't buy anything from Hanwei. Chinese made, man. With equivalent kwalitee control.

Don't know about their armor, but their rapiers and blades are considered to be decent quality in the lower end of the price range.

I've upgraded to custom Darkwood hilts, but still haven't felt a need to leave the Hanwei blades behind.

I absolutely love their practical longsword and arming sword. Their rapiers, less so.
