I thought this thread would be about armor for tiny people. Disappointed.

Cunian, Atlantian Cunian? Do you know when it's going to happen?

Skutai

Sold, paid, and sent.

Purchased from weldedchainmail.com, size Long, stainless steel aventail for $150 plus shipping. There are no missing links but it has seen some use, which may have weakened some of the welds. Hence the discount.

I got started in steel fighting in a Svan corrazina. Thumbs up.

I'd say those are the molded leather greaves you deserve, but not the ones you need right now.

Skutai · Re: Pics that would inspire new guys. (UPDATE 8/31/2011) I like these.

I like these.

We have top men working on it right now.

Top. Men.

In the dueling format, sword blows do count, as do disarms, and throws.

Skutai

Everyone's got their kink, I guess.

Point of order. Battle of the Nations is an event, not a style of fighting. You might call it HMB or ACL or IMCF, as those are the three main organizations hosting the revival of medieval tournament combat of this kind at the moment.

Just encouraging clarity. Carry on.

Metal handles are prohibited in the new rule set.

I suspect that it's over. He won't talk to us. That's it.

Peripheral vision?

Isn't there room in the SCA for people who strive for historical accuracy, and those that frankly don't give a shit? I mean, that whole bit about "dedicated to researching and re-creating" is just a fart in the wind. I say open it up. I want to see flamberge-wielding samurai fighting space marines w...

I offered to meet him, and asked for a picture. No response.

Skutai

Logan, it's the mall with the Microcenter, near Vienna metro. My schedule hasn't allowed me to meet with him yet.

I live in Fairfax. I'll see what's what.

From the same sender in Ukraine I've had packages arrive within a few weeks, and one that got caught in US Customs that took six weeks to arrive. Customs will tell you nothing about the state of your package. They don't even track it. They're done with it when they're done with it and you have very ...

Here's an article I wrote for the CrossFit Journal about Battle of the Nations.

I really wanted to build a whole kit around this helmet, but I need to focus on other pursuits. I particularly like the profile. This helm has never been used. It's a stainless steel Shamrock Varangian with a large Knut aventail. The chin-cup hinges outward, held in place by a strap. It fits my 23" ...

I think the attached drape is going to be tough to find. All examples I've ever encountered represent a mail coif with the hat on top. Unattached.

I cut up an old pair of jeans. Worked perfectly.

I got the size of my head wrong by trying to do it myself. It's 23", not 22". I think this helm will fit him fine.

Skutai

Sale pending.

Skutai

I'll drop it down to $950, shipping included. Best I can do. I'll build a kit for it one day, so I don't mind keeping it, but if someone really wants this style of helm this is a good price.

Skutai

Thanks Lucas, but I'm looking to reduce the size of my helm collection.

For a helm I recommend Aesir Metalwyrks. For weapons, BKS through Icefalcon. Shoulders and arms, take your pick. If you can afford spring stainless, it's ideal but not necessary. A lot depends on your level of physical fitness.

In this sport (in the melee), good technique is demonstrated by eliminating an opponent quickly and efficiently. In almost all cases, applying good technique requires comprehensive athletic ability. Likewise, not leaving yourself vulnerable to an opponent's technique also requires athleticism. Most,...
