Ashcraft Baker Elbows and Basket hilts
Posted: Tue Sep 23, 2003 4:01 pm
Just recieved elbows from Ashcraft Baker today. Tentative shipment date was 26 Sept, they shipped 2 weeks early. Overall look was very nice on the ouside, the brushed look on there Stainless looks decent. The overlap on the first set of lames almost causes a scissor effect if caught wrong, definatly wear some kind of sports padding on elbow.
The rivits for the articulation were 1/2 peined, it does seem pretty normal from them. Nothing a ball pien and a few minuits on each elbow couldn't fix satisfactorly.
The overall product quality to timely shipment ratio makes it a good deal for the price you pay.
You realy can't beat $10 basket hilts < which I picked up 2 on this order just cuz >. Don't realy feel to bad using one for loaner stuff or even a "give-away". Solid construction, al-beit a bit on the heavy side, but definatly work for protection.
